Audio reasoning
The ability of models to draw inferences from sound, answering questions that depend on what is heard, not only what is said, across speech, environmental sound and music.
MedMosaic · SEABED · CaReCoS · AudioLoop
Voice agents
Spoken-language systems that hold real-time conversations and complete tasks on a user’s behalf, combining speech recognition, reasoning, tool use and speech synthesis.
DuplexWorld
Unified audio models
Single models that both understand and generate audio: transcribing, describing, synthesising and editing speech, sound and music within one architecture.
TORUS
Audio safety
The study of risks in speech and audio systems (bias, misuse, spoofing and harmful outputs) and the methods used to measure and reduce them.
Voice or Stereotype?
Internationalization
Making speech and audio technology work across languages, dialects and accents, so performance holds beyond a handful of high-resource languages.
SEABED · AAE-ICL
Speech enhancement
Techniques that improve the quality and intelligibility of speech by reducing noise, reverberation and distortion in recorded or live audio.
Speech Enhancement from Imperfect Transcriptions
