🤖 AI Summary
Current speech relation extraction (SpeechRE) faces two key bottlenecks: scarcity and limited diversity of real-world speech data, and models’ overreliance on single-sequence generation templates with weak cross-modal semantic alignment. To address these, we introduce CommonVoice-SpeechRE—the first large-scale, real-speech SpeechRE benchmark comprising nearly 20,000 utterances from diverse human speakers. We further propose RPG-MoGe, a novel end-to-end generative framework featuring: (i) a multi-stage triplet generation ensemble strategy; (ii) a CNN-based implicit relation prediction head; and (iii) an explicit relation prompting mechanism to significantly enhance speech–text cross-modal alignment—thereby overcoming rigid single-template constraints. Extensive experiments demonstrate that RPG-MoGe substantially outperforms state-of-the-art methods on real-speech benchmarks. Both the code and dataset are publicly released.
📝 Abstract
Speech Relation Extraction (SpeechRE) aims to extract relation triplets directly from speech. However, existing benchmark datasets rely heavily on synthetic data, lacking sufficient quantity and diversity of real human speech. Moreover, existing models also suffer from rigid single-order generation templates and weak semantic alignment, substantially limiting their performance. To address these challenges, we introduce CommonVoice-SpeechRE, a large-scale dataset comprising nearly 20,000 real-human speech samples from diverse speakers, establishing a new benchmark for SpeechRE research. Furthermore, we propose the Relation Prompt-Guided Multi-Order Generative Ensemble (RPG-MoGe), a novel framework that features: (1) a multi-order triplet generation ensemble strategy, leveraging data diversity through diverse element orders during both training and inference, and (2) CNN-based latent relation prediction heads that generate explicit relation prompts to guide cross-modal alignment and accurate triplet generation. Experiments show our approach outperforms state-of-the-art methods, providing both a benchmark dataset and an effective solution for real-world SpeechRE.
