Site adaptive method lowers errors in massive MIMO detectors

SiteEvo: An LLM Agent for Autonomous Discovery of Site-Adaptive Massive MIMO Detectors

Abstract: Designing a massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) detector that is tailored to each specific deployment site can improve detection performance, yet most existing detectors, including deep-unfolding methods, adapt mainly within human-prescribed algorithmic structures. This letter proposes SiteEvo, a site-adaptive agentic discovery framework that extends adaptation from parameter tuning to detector-algorithm discovery. Rather than selecting or recombining predefined architectures, the large language model (LLM) agent synthesizes complete executable detector programs under a common design contract by combining its pretrained communication knowledge, site-specific wireless evidence, and experience accumulated during the search. Each proposal defines its own processing structure and trainable parameterization, and the parameters are optimized by a communication-system backend. The resulting high-performance detector is further structurally refined to reduce block-level computational cost under a bit error rate (BER)-preservation constraint and is finally frozen for deployment without online LLM inference. Simulations across three sites demonstrate BER reductions by factors of 2.6 to 6.0 over the best-performing competing detector at each site at 6 dB, while structural refinement reduces block-level computational cost by 16.7-34.1% under a validation-BER constraint.

Sun 11 OctInformation Theory
The gist
Detecting signals more accurately in wireless networks can improve communication quality. The authors present SiteEvo, an approach that automatically creates custom signal detectors tailored to specific locations instead of just adjusting existing designs. SiteEvo uses a large language model to generate new detector programs based on local wireless data and prior knowledge. Tests show SiteEvo finds detectors that cut error rates by more than half while reducing computing cost, and it can operate efficiently without ongoing AI assistance.

Flow matching and policy optimization reduce speech enhancement hallucinations

AuraSE: Low-Hallucination Generative Speech Enhancement via Multimodal Flow Matching and Inference Policy Optimization

Abstract: Generative speech enhancement models can produce cleaner and more natural-sounding speech than conventional discriminative approaches, but may hallucinate by changing speech content or speaker identity, even with transcript conditioning. We present AuraSE, a flow-matching framework that addresses hallucination through complementary modality and inference designs. First, a double-stream-to-single-stream multimodal Diffusion Transformer (MMDiT) allows transcript and acoustic representations to interact while preserving a dedicated pathway for the degraded input. Second, we find that the best decoder configuration, governed by guidance scale, sampling temperature, and step count, varies substantially across utterances. This observation motivates Inference Policy Optimization (IPO), an online, on-policy preference optimization method. IPO generates multiple candidates from the current model under different inference configurations, ranks them with a multi-objective reward, and learns from their relative preferences. AuraSE-IPO ranks first on 11 of 12 metrics across the synthetic test sets and obtains the highest DNSMOS and blind-listening scores among the evaluated systems on the real DNS blind test set. At deployment, it uses a fixed $10$-step ODE decoder without classifier-free guidance (CFG) or per-utterance configuration search.

Mon 5 OctSound
The gist
Speech enhancement systems try to make noisy recorded speech sound clearer and more natural, but sometimes they accidentally change what is being said or who is speaking. The authors introduce AuraSE, which uses a special type of model that carefully blends the noisy speech sound with a matching transcript to avoid these mistakes. They also found that adjusting the way the system processes each sentence during listening improves results, so they developed a way for the system to learn how best to do this on the fly. This approach consistently improved speech quality and reduced errors on various tests, including real-world noisy recordings.

SignGPT unifies sign language translation and generation using AI models

SignGPT: Toward LLM-Mediated Sign Language Interaction through Gloss-Free Translation and Generation

Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) provide limited support for sign language interaction. Unifying sign language translation (SLT) and generation (SLG) to enable sign language as both input and output can reduce switching between separate models during sign-text interaction. We present SignGPT, a unified, pose-based framework for gloss-free SLT and SLG. SignGPT integrates part-aware hierarchical representations of body, hand, and facial motion into a shared language model and employs asymmetric multi-token prediction and progressive training for bidirectional modeling. We evaluate SignGPT on How2Sign (ASL) and Phoenix-2014T (DGS) through benchmark comparisons, qualitative analyses, and component ablations. An exploratory study with 12 Deaf ASL signers assesses an LLM-mediated sign-to-sign response pipeline, highlighting the potential of unified modeling to support sign language conversation (SLC).

Fri 18 SeptComputer Vision and Pattern Recognition
The gist
Communicating in sign language with computers usually requires different tools for understanding and producing signs. The authors created SignGPT, a single system that can both translate sign language into text and generate sign language from text, without relying on written sign annotations called glosses. This system uses detailed models of body, hand, and facial movements to understand and create signs. They tested SignGPT on American and German sign language datasets and showed it can help enable conversations using sign language mediated by AI.
