arXiv:2606.26452v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: To minimize privacy concerns and inference latency on edge devices like smartphones, lightweight on-device models remain important for end-user applications. Many of these applications involve natural language classification, but deploying multiple specialized models creates a memory footprint challenge. We investigate: Can a single lightweight architecture solve multiple Speech-Adjacent (SA) classification tasks through reduction to a nuanced text similarity formulation? We propose AnySimLite, a lightweight similarity encoder that combines word-
