Omni-JEV: Text and Dual-Stream Speech Decisions
arXiv:2611.13777v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A user utterance does not uniquely determine the next action in full-duplex dialogue: its consequences depend on the assistant's response state and interaction history. Speech activity, utterance completion, and interruption intent provide related evidence, whose implications for a response require an explicit action policy. We formulate this task at collected-segment endpoints and introduce Omni-JEV, which maps text or role-indexed user and assistant-reference speech to probabilities over five interaction actions. An aligned speech-to-speech understanding backbone encodes the acoustic roles separately and shares its candidate readout with text inputs. Bilingual weak supervision supports cross-entropy fine-tuning followed by reinforcement learning for probability-sensitive decisions (RLCD). We compare Gaussian-logit and categorical Choice RLCD from the same supervised initialization under matched training exposure, observing different trade-offs between classification and probability quality. Gaussian Omni-JEV achieves test accuracies of 84.08% for audio and 96.55% for text. This common action interface supports decisions about when a full-duplex voice assistant should respond, preserve ongoing speech, interrupt, or resume an interrupted response.
