What is Lingo
Lingo is the first end-to-end speech large model in China launched by Xichen. Technologically, it features real-time interruption, real-time instruction control, super human-like interaction, and the ability to speak and sing. It has better GPT-4o Chinese speech performance. The Xichen Lingo speech model opened beta appointment on August 24, 2024, and is expected to be officially released and open for beta testing at the Bund Conference on September 5. The breakthrough of the model lies not only in improving the natural fluency of human-computer dialogue, but also in endowing AI with emotional value capabilities such as 'listening', 'guiding', and 'empathizing', enabling AI to engage in high-EQ conversational exchanges with humans while satisfying high IQ.
Main features of Lingo
- Native speech understanding: Xichen Lingo can not only recognize textual information in speech, but also accurately capture other important features such as emotion, tone, pitch, and even ambient sound, helping the model understand speech content more comprehensively and thereby provide a more natural and vivid interactive experience.
- Multiple speech style expression: Xichen Lingo can adaptively adjust speech speed, pitch, and noise intensity according to context and user instructions, and can generate speech responses in multiple styles such as dialogue, singing, and crosstalk, effectively improving the model's flexibility and adaptability in different application scenarios.
- Super compression of speech modality: It uses a speech codec with hundreds of times compression rate, which can compress speech to an extremely short length, significantly reducing computing and storage costs while helping the model generate high-quality speech content.
- Real-time interaction capability: Xichen Lingo can respond to user instructions in real time, including interruption at any time and real-time control, providing a smooth conversation experience.
- High natural fluency: During real-time interaction, the model can fully simulate human behavior, emotions, and reaction patterns, providing a highly natural and fluent conversation experience.
- Emotional value capability: Xichen Lingo endows AI with emotional value capabilities such as 'listening', 'guiding', and 'empathizing', enabling AI to engage in high-EQ conversational exchanges with humans while satisfying high IQ.
Technical principles of Lingo
- End-to-end technology: Compared with traditional speech technology, Xichen Lingo adopts an end-to-end design, meaning it can directly generate output speech or text from input speech signals without going through multiple independent processing stages. This simplifies the system architecture and improves efficiency.
- Deep learning algorithms: Xichen Lingo is based on deep learning algorithms, especially neural networks, to process and analyze speech data. The algorithms can automatically learn and extract features from speech signals for speech recognition, speech synthesis, and language understanding.
- Natural language processing (NLP): Xichen Lingo integrates advanced natural language processing technology and can understand and handle the complexity of natural language, including grammar, semantics, and context.
- Emotion and intonation recognition: The model can recognize emotion and intonation in speech, deeply analyze audio signals, and capture the speaker's emotional state and intent.
