Wang and colleagues present an end-to-end model for full-duplex interaction, meaning it can listen, speak and produce visible reactions concurrently rather than waiting for fixed conversational turns.

The authors built ELLSA 2 around a dialogue backbone and an autoregressive, chunk-wise synthesizer.
