Cocktail-Talker: Multi-Speaker Dialog Modeling in Noisy Social Environments with Turn Action GRPO

In this paper, we introduce Cocktail-Talker, a speech LLM framework for multi-speaker spoken dialog modeling in noisy social environments. We model the assistant's behavior with three action tokens: <|respond|>, <|listen|>, and <|ignore
