Voice Communication Analysis in Esports

Abstract

In most team-based esports, voice communications are prominent in the team efficiency and synergy. In fact it has been observed that not only the skill aspect of the team but also the team effective voice communication comes into play when trying to have good performance in official matches. With the recent emergence of LLM (Large Language Models) tools regarding NLP (Natural Language Processing) (Vaswani et. al.), we decided to try applying them in order to have a better understanding on how to improve the effectiveness of the voice communications. In this paper the study has been made through the prism of League of Legends esport. However the main concepts and ideas can be easily applicable in any other team related esports.

Text-only adaptation in LLM-based ASR through text denoising

Adapting large language model (LLM)-based automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems to new domains using text-only data is a significant yet underexplored challenge. Standard fine-tuning of the LLM on the target domain text often disrupts the critical alignment between the speech and text modality learned by the projector, degrading performance. We introduce a novel text-only adaptation method that frames this process as a text denoising task. Our approach trains the LLM to recover clean transcripts from noisy inputs. This process effectively adapts the model to a target domain while preserving cross-modal alignment. Our solution is lightweight, requiring no architectural changes or additional parameters. Extensive evaluation on two datasets demonstrates up to 22.1% relative improvement, outperforming recent state-of-the-art text-only adaptation methods.

Discrete vs. Continuous: A Comprehensive Study of Unified Audio Understanding in LALMs

Large Audio Language Models (LALMs) utilize either continuous features or discrete tokens, yet the optimal representation paradigm for general audio understanding remains debated. Existing benchmarks often focus on narrow domains or evaluate encoders outside LALM contexts. To address these gaps, we systematically evaluate continuous and discrete representations across speech, sound and music. Utilizing our UniARC framework with dual evaluation strategies across model scales from SmolLM2-135M to Llama-3-8B, we analyze the dynamic relationships of data volume, model capacity, and computational efficiency. Our results reveal the pivotal role of semantic constraints in tokenization for audio understanding and demonstrate that scaling backbones fail to compensate for information loss in audio representation, especially in data-limited tasks. These findings offer practical guidance for balancing semantic density, fidelity, and efficiency in future LALMs.

Synthesis and editing of multi-instrument audio mixtures using scalar-quantised latents with MIDI Span conditioning

Music creation often involves iterative refinement, changing selected musical details while retaining the rest. To support such refinement, we introduce SpanSynth-Edit, a flow-matching model for MIDI-guided synthesis and editing of multi-instrument audio mixtures using low-frame-rate scalar-quantised latents. MIDI Span encodes instrument-labelled note lifecycles as unordered event sets with continuous-valued attributes and pools each set into one conditioning vector per audio-latent frame. The model uses contextual audio for instrument-specific timbre guidance and supports editing by resynthesising the target region from revised MIDI. Experiments on single- and multi-instrument benchmarks show competitive performance and demonstrate within-frame onset control. We also discuss limitations of transcription-based note-adherence evaluation.
