I keep wondering if a small LLM can also be used to help detect when the speaker has finished speaking their thought, not just when they've paused speaking.

- drunkenmagician 3y agoMaybe using a voice activity detector, VAD would be a lighter (less resources required) option.
- generalizations 3y agoThat works when you know what you’re going to say. A human knows when you’re pausing to think, but have a thought you’re in the middle of expressing. A VAD doesn’t know this and would interrupt when it hears a silence of N seconds; a lightweight LLM would know to keep waiting despite the silence.
