Not at Interspeech in Sydney? So, see you in Jena at my very creative poster on a layer-wise analysis of speech LLMs: “Wer (er)kennt Schünni-Günni?” at this year’s P&P. I will present joint work with Bastian Bunzeck, Sina Zarrieß & Petra Wagner from #CRC1646 #LINCC www.gw.uni-jena.de/98626/2026-p-p
An illustration of an artificial neural network which takes audio as input and generates text output through a number of layers.

Solé, R., et al. (2026). Large-Language Models as a Cognitive Virus. arXiv preprint: doi.org/10.48550/arX... Interesting idea: the *use* of LLMs as a virus. 👀 Note that the analogy is nuanced. Do not fall for rage baiting AI apocalypticism which may pop up around this paper elsewhere!

Pat Kuhl noted in 2004 that while language acquisition is “child’s play”, artificial intelligence fails at the task. I think this is still true despite all the fuzz. Feeding a machine 100s of lifetimes worth of input in order to (barely) learn what a kid does in 6–7 is actually not that impressive.
