Speak Your Mind: The Speech Continuation Task as a Probe of Voice-Based Model Bias
arXiv CS.CL
•
ArXi:2509.22061v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Speech Continuation (SC) is the task of generating a coherent extension of a spoken prompt while preserving both semantic context and speaker identity. Because SC is constrained to a single audio stream, it offers a direct setting for probing biases in speech foundation models than dialogue does. In this work we present the first systematic evaluation of bias in SC, investigating how gender and phonation type (breathy, creaky, end-creak) affect continuation behaviour.
