This paper is adjacent to HFEPX scope and is best used for background context, not as a primary protocol reference.
Use this as background context only. Do not make protocol decisions from this page alone.
Use this page for context, then validate protocol choices against stronger HFEPX references before implementation decisions.
Best use
Background context only
Use if you need
Background context only.
What to verify
Read the full paper before copying any benchmark, metric, or protocol choices.
Main weakness
The available metadata is too thin to trust this as a primary source.
Treat as adjacent context, not a core eval-method reference.

In-Context Learning (ICL) has been extensively studied in text-only Language Models, but remains largely unexplored in the speech domain. Here, we investigate how linguistic and acoustic features affect ICL in Speech Language Models. We focus on the Text-to-Speech (TTS) task, which allows us to analyze ICL from two angles: (1) how accurately the model infers the task from the demonstrations (i.e., generating the correct spoken content), and (2) to what extent the model mimics the acoustic characteristics of the demonstration speech in its output. We find that speaking rate strongly affects ICL performance and is also mimicked in the output, whereas pitch range and intensity have little impact on performance and are not consistently reproduced. Finally, we investigate the role of induction heads in speech-based ICL and show that these heads play a causal role: ablating the top-k induction heads completely removes the model's ICL ability, mirroring findings from text-based ICL.
These are the protocol signals we could actually recover from the available paper metadata. Use them to decide whether this paper is worth deeper reading.
Demonstrations
Directly usable for protocol triage.
