测试大模型能否识别对话中说话人一致性,发现其严重依赖文本而忽视声音特征。
SpeakerSleuth: Can Large Audio-Language Models Judge Speaker Consistency across Multi-turn Dialogues?
- 构建包含1818个真人验证样本的基准,评估大音频语言模型对多轮对话中说话人一致性的判断能力。
- 多数模型在相同说话人音频中误判不一致,且无法准确定位问题对话段落。
- 模型在文本上下文干扰下表现大幅下降,暴露出对语音特征的显著忽略倾向。
大音频语言模型(LALMs)作为语音生成质量评估的新方法备受关注,但其在多轮对话中判断说话人一致性的能力尚未被探索。我们提出 extbf{SpeakerSleuth},一个涵盖真实与合成语音的基准,通过三个任务评估该能力。我们在四个数据集上构建了1,818个经人工验证的评估实例,控制声学难度。测试十二个主流LALMs发现,模型难以可靠检测声学不一致:相同说话人的音频片段被部分模型过度预测为不一致,另一些则过于宽容;且无法准确定位问题对话回合。当提供其他对话者文本作为上下文时,性能急剧下降——模型更关注文本连贯性而非声学线索,甚至未能识别明显的性别转换。然而,在比较和排序不同声学版本时,模型表现显著更好,表明其具备一定的声学区分能力。这些结果揭示了LALMs的严重偏差:倾向于优先考虑文本信息,暴露了跨模态不平衡的根本问题,亟需解决以构建可靠的音视频联合评估系统。代码与数据已开源。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Large Audio-Language Models (LALMs) as judges have emerged as a prominent approach for evaluating speech generation quality, yet their ability to assess speaker consistency across multi-turn dialogues remains unexplored. We present \textbf{SpeakerSleuth}, a benchmark evaluating whether LALMs can reliably judge speaker consistency across multi-turn dialogues through three tasks reflecting real-world requirements. We construct 1,818 human-verified evaluation instances across four diverse datasets spanning synthetic and real speech, with controlled acoustic difficulty. Evaluating twelve widely-used LALMs, we find that models struggle to reliably detect acoustic inconsistencies. For instance, given audio samples of the same speaker's turns, some models overpredict inconsistency, whereas others are overly lenient. Models further struggle to identify the exact turns that are problematic. When other interlocutors' turns are provided as textual context, performance degrades dramatically as models prioritize textual coherence over acoustic cues, failing to detect even obvious gender switches for a speaker. On the other hand, models perform substantially better in comparing and ranking acoustic variants, demonstrating inherent acoustic discrimination capabilities. These findings expose a significant bias in LALMs: they tend to prioritize text over acoustics, revealing fundamental modality imbalances that need to be addressed to build reliable audio-language judges.
