Moshi 全双工语音模型的情感引导遵循几何结构而非标签
Steering Follows Geometry, Not Labels: Emotion Directions in a Full-Duplex Speech Model
AI 导读
研究者在全开源全双工语音语言模型 Moshi 上测试了四种情感的激活引导,采用均值差激活引导,每帧仅需少量向量加法且无需重训练。情感可从 Moshi 的残差流中线性解码,但激活引导只能部分实现且不均衡:happy、angry 和 surprise 引导向共享方向,而 sad 可被独立引导。三个情感共享的成分无法简单地等量从所有情感中投影剔除。

Abstract:Full-duplex voice agents need to modulate emotion and delivery during real-time conversations, when de-escalating a complaint, carrying urgency in dispatch, softening a clinical result. Emotion and delivery control is well studied for TTS and turn based models through prompt-conditioned synthesis, reference-conditioned synthesis and activation steering; PersonaPlex controls identity in a duplex model but not affect.
We study emotion steering in Moshi, a fully open sourced full-duplex speech language model, across four emotions, using mean-difference activation steering, which costs only a few vector additions per frame and no retraining.
We show that emotion is linearly decodable from Moshi's residual stream, but activation steering is only partially achievable, and unevenly so; as happy, angry and surprise steer towards a shared direction while sad is distinctly steerable. We also show that the shared component across the three emotions cannot simply be projected away from all the emotions equally.
