In the context of three problem areas identified as critical for the future development of the Internet, WebFAQ aimed at addressing the problem of the analysis and representation of the information content. More specifically, the project concentrated on the access to information contained in very large, unstructured, heterogeneous repositories, on multimodal presentation of information, and on the assessment of the quality of information.
Our pick of the week by @FBKZhihangXie: "#Speech Discrete Tokens or Continuous Features? A Comparative Analysis for Spoken Language Understanding in #SpeechLLMs" by @WangDingdo2603, Junan Li, @HelenMeng_CUHK, et al. (#EMNLP2025)
#SLU #SpeechTech
🚀 New paper: Speech Discrete Tokens or Continuous Features?
📄 https://aclanthology.org/2025.emnlp-main.1266.pdf
🧩 A comprehensive benchmark of SpeechLLMs using HuBERT/WavLM with Qwen & LLaMA.
✨ Continuous features outperform overall, while discrete tokens excel at phoneme-level detail.
