The Silent Thought: Modeling Internal Cognition in Full-Duplex Spoken Dialogue Models via Latent Reasoning

Chen Chen, Donghang Wu, Eng Siong Chng, Hexin Liu, Tianyu Zhang, Yoshua Bengio, Yuxin Li

Spoken dialogue models can perform continuous internal reasoning while listening by recursively updating latent embeddings.

✓ Portable graph bundle live · download bundle · merged state

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

our approach aligns seamlessly with spoken dialogue systems: during the user's speaking phase, it recursively feeds the latent embedding output from the previous step into the next step, enabling continuous reasoning that strictly adheres to causality without introducing additional latency.

C2weakest assumption

That recursive updates to latent embeddings can meaningfully represent and advance internal cognitive processing without explicit reasoning supervision or causing drift in the dialogue state.

C3one line summary

FLAIR enables spoken dialogue AI to conduct continuous latent reasoning while perceiving speech through recursive latent embeddings and an ELBO-based finetuning objective.
