Model Card

An open audio turn-taking model that answers several questions about the moment in one forward pass: has the user finished their turn, how soon will they go on, is this a backchannel or an interruption, is the sound speech at all. It hears the last 8 seconds of user audio (optionally with a transcript or the dialog so far), runs on one GPU in ~8 ms, and is measured on all 14 languages of eot-bench and on two-party conversations in TurnBench. ▶ Interactive demo and film: replay real user turns in six languages and watch Pipecat's default turn model cut the user off while voxturn waits for the end of the turn. Technical report (PDF): method, training data, ablations and the full evaluation.…

ced-gguf

Mudler

GGUF quantizations of the CED family (Consistent Ensemble Distillation, Xiaomi) - SOTA-tier audio-tagging models that classify everyday sounds (baby cry, footsteps, glass breaking, alarms, dog bark,...) into the 527-class AudioSet ontology. These files run with ced.cpp, a standalone C++/ggml port (no Python, no PyTorch at inference), and with LocalAI via the ced backend. Converted from the mispeech/ced- checkpoints (Apache-2.0). CED is a plain AST/DeiT Vision Transformer over a log-mel spectrogram; the port is numerically equal to the PyTorch reference. One self-contained GGUF per size + quant (config, 527 labels, and the mel filterbank/window are all embedded). Pick by your accuracy/size…

lang-id-voxlingua107-ecapa

SpeechBrain

This is a spoken language recognition model trained on the VoxLingua107 dataset using SpeechBrain. The model uses the ECAPA-TDNN architecture that has previously been used for speaker recognition. However, it uses more fully connected hidden layers after the embedding layer, and cross-entropy loss was used for training. We observed that this improved the performance of extracted utterance embeddings for downstream tasks. The system is trained with recordings sampled at 16kHz (single channel). The code will automatically normalize your audio (i.e., resampling + mono channel selection) when calling classifyfile if needed. The model can classify a speech utterance according to the language…

accent-id-commonaccent_ecapa

Juan Pablo Zuluaga

Abstract: The recognition of accented speech still remains a dominant problem in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems. We approach the classification of accented English speech through the Emphasized Channel Attention, Propagation and Aggregation Time Delay Neural Network (ECAPA-TDNN) architecture which has been shown to perform well on a variety of speech tasks. Three models are proposed: one trained from scratch, another two models (one using data augmentation and a baseline model) fine-tuned from the checkpoints of speechbrain/spkrec-ecapa-voxceleb (VoxCeleb). Our results show that the model fine-tuned with data augmentation yield the best results. Most of the misclassifications…
