IRAF: Interference-Resilient Adaptive Fusion for Noise-Robust End-to-End Full-Duplex Spoken Dialogue Systems

arXiv:2606.06559v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Full-duplex spoken dialogue models allow voice agents to listen and speak concurrently, enabling natural interaction with real-time overlap. However, end-to-end dual-channel models that jointly encode user and agent streams may degrade in realistic acoustic environments: interfering speakers leaking into the user microphone can be encoded as part of the user query, corrupting the LLM's conditioning and causing unstable turn-taking and reduced response quality. We propose Interference-Resilient Adaptive Fusion (IRAF), a lightweight, streaming-co
The proliferation of increasingly sophisticated LLMs and the demand for more natural, real-time voice interactions necessitate robust solutions for complex acoustic environments.
Improving noise robustness in full-duplex systems is critical for the widespread adoption and effectiveness of AI agents in real-world scenarios, particularly in human-computer interaction.
This advancement mitigates a significant technical hurdle in conversational AI, enabling more reliable and seamless verbal interaction with AI systems even in challenging audio conditions.
