Our pick of the week by @DennisFucci: "Speech Representation Analysis Based on Inter- and Intra-Model Similarities" by Yassine El Kheir, Ahmed Ali, and Shammur Absar Chowdhury (ICASSP Workshops 2024)

Findings from https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10669908 show that speech SSL models converge on similar embedding spaces, but via different routes. While overall representations align, individual neurons learn distinct localized concepts.
Interesting read! @fbk_mt

Our pick of the week by @beomseok_lee_: "ALAS: Measuring Latent Speech-Text Alignment For Spoken Language Understanding In Multimodal LLMs" by Pooneh Mousavi, @yingzhi_wang, @mirco_ravanelli, and @CemSubakan (2025)

Speech-language models show promise in multimodal tasks—but how well are speech & text actually aligned? 🤔
This paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.19937 proposes a new metric to measure layer-wise correlation between the two, with a focus on SLU tasks. 🔍🗣️📄
