If you are attending @ISCAInterspeech, I will be giving a talk today on this work, where we show that brain-tuning speech models leads to brain-like processing stages. Looking forward to the discussion and questions! 🗓️ Aug 19, 16:00. 📍Port 1A (Area 01) #Interspeech2025

🚨Excited to share our latest work published at Interspeech 2025: “Brain-tuned Speech Models Better Reflect Speech Processing Stages in the Brain”! 🧠🎧 arxiv.org/abs/2506.03832 W/ @mtoneva1 We fine-tuned speech models directly with brain fMRI data, making them more brain-like.🧵



We are so excited to share the first work that demonstrates consistent downstream improvements for language tasks after fine-tuning with brain data!! Improving semantic understanding in speech language models via brain-tuning arxiv.org/abs/2410.09230 W/ @dklakow, @mtoneva1
