Efficient speech intelligence

Audio encoders,
made leaner.

X-AuT is a research project exploring behavior-driven progressive pruning for audio encoders in LLM-based automatic speech recognition.

Explore the project

Pruning guided by model behavior.

Modern speech-language systems rely on deep audio encoders. X-AuT studies how to reduce encoder depth while preserving the behaviors that matter for reliable recognition.

01

Behavior-aware

Evaluate pruning decisions through recovery behavior, rather than a single static proxy.

02

Progressive

Take controlled steps toward compact audio encoders.

03

Practical

Focus on efficient deployment for next-generation speech systems.

Coming soon

Paper and research materials will be shared upon publication.
