Dolphin-CN-Dialect: Where Chinese Dialects Matter

We present Dolphin-CN-Dialect, a streaming-capable ASR model with a focus on Chinese and dialect-rich scenarios. Compared to the previous version, Dolphin-CN-Dialect introduces substantial improvements in data processing, tokenization, training stability, and data sampling strategies. To address the challenges of highly imbalanced dialect data, we propose a temperature-based sampling strategy that effectively balances standard Mandarin and low-resource dialects, leading to significant gains in dialect recognition performance. In addition, we redesign the tokenizer to better align with linguistic characteristics, adopting character-level modeling for Chinese and subword modeling for English, while introducing extensible dialect tokens. Experimental results show that Dolphin-CN-Dialect achieves improvement in dialect recognition accuracy and CER reduction compared to Dolphin. Furthermore, Dolphin-CN-Dialect reaches competitive performance with recent SOTA open-source ASR models, while maintaining a significantly smaller model size. Dolphin-CN-Dialect supports both streaming and non-streaming inference, enabling a practical balance between latency and accuracy. It also provides flexible customization through hotword support and efficient deployment optimized for specialized hardware. These improvements make Dolphin-CN-Dialect a strong and practical solution for real-world multi-dialect ASR applications.

On the Generation and Mitigation of Harmful Geometry in Image-to-3D Models

Recent advances in image-to-3D models have significantly improved the fidelity and accessibility of 3D content creation. Such a powerful reconstruction capability that enables creative design can also be misused by the adversary to generate harmful geometries, which can be further fabricated via 3D printers and pose real-world risks. However, such risks are largely underexplored: it remains unclear how well current image-to-3D models can produce these harmful geometries, and whether existing safeguards can reliably prevent such generation. To fill this gap, we conduct a systematic measurement study of harmful geometry generation and mitigation. We first describe this risk through three kinds of unsafe categories: direct-use physical hazards, risky templates or components, and deceptive replicas. Each category is instantiated with representative objects. We evaluate both open-source and commercial image-to-3D models under original, degraded, viewpoint-shifted, and semantically camouflaged inputs. We consider different evaluation metrics, including geometric validity, multi-view VLM-based semantic scoring, targeted human validation, and controlled physical fabrication. The results reveal a concerning reality that current image-to-3D models can effectively reconstruct the harmful geometries, while fewer than 0.3% of such geometries trigger commercial moderation flags. As a first step toward mitigation, we evaluate three representative safeguard families, including input moderation, model-level benign alignment, and output-level filtering. We find that existing safeguards have distinct weaknesses. We further develop a stacked defense that can reduce harmful retention to <1%, but still at 11% overall false-positive cost. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that the risk in current system and encourage better geometry-aware safeguards for moderation.

X-Voice: Enabling Everyone to Speak 30 Languages via Zero-Shot Cross-Lingual Voice Cloning

In this paper, we present X-Voice, a 0.4B multilingual zero-shot voice cloning model that clones arbitrary voices and enables everyone to speak 30 languages. X-Voice is trained on a 420K-hour multilingual corpus using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) as a unified representation. To eliminate the reliance on prompt text without complex preprocessing like forced alignment, we design a two-stage training paradigm. In Stage 1, we establish X-Voice$_{\text{s1}}$ through standard conditional flow-matching training and use it to synthesize 10K hours of speaker-consistent segments as audio prompts. In Stage 2, we fine-tune on these audio pairs with prompt text masked to derive X-Voice$_{\text{s2}}$, which enables zero-shot voice cloning without requiring transcripts of audio prompts. Architecturally, we extend F5-TTS by implementing a dual-level injection of language identifiers and decoupling and scheduling of Classifier-Free Guidance to facilitate multilingual speech synthesis. Subjective and objective evaluation results demonstrate that X-Voice outperforms existing flow-matching based multilingual systems like LEMAS-TTS and achieves zero-shot cross-lingual cloning capabilities comparable to billion-scale models such as Qwen3-TTS. To facilitate research transparency and community advancement, we open-source all related resources.
