Separating Decision-Rule Misalignment from Readout-Coverage Limitations in Speech Language Models
arXiv:2608.06409v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Speech language models are increasingly evaluated on paralinguistic tasks by the accuracy of prompted answers, but answer accuracy combines failures at different stages of the audio-to-answer computation. We introduce a generation-aligned diagnostic ladder that compares t
