The proposed paper explores ways to align language models with the speech domain by developing prompting strategies and preference learning methods using a novel dataset of 20K samples. The approach is based on radio-industry best practices, which involve generating prompts that induce varying dimensions of speech-suitability. The results show that both prompting and preference learning increase the speech-suitability of popular instruction-tuned LLMs, with combining them achieving the best win rates in head-to-head comparison.

The researchers want to make language models better at understanding and generating speech. They try two new ways: giving models special instructions (prompts) that are based on what works well in radio broadcasting, and teaching models what sounds good or bad by showing them lots of examples of different kinds of speech. The results show that both methods can help make the models do a better job with speech-related tasks.
