Models for low-latency, streaming applications could benefit from the knowledge capacity of larger models, but edge devices cannot run these models due to resource constraints. A possible solution is to transfer hints during inference from a large model running remotely to a small model running on-device. However, this incurs a Read More ...
Despite broad interest in modeling spoken dialogue agents, most approaches are inherently half-duplex’’ -- restricted to turn-based interaction with responses requiring explicit prompting by the user or implicit tracking of interruption or silence events.
