We also wondered: if neuroscientists use functional localizers to map networks in the brain, could we do the same for MiCRo’s experts?

The answer: yes! The very same localizers successfully recovered the corresponding expert modules in our models!

We hope that AuriStream will serve as a task-performant model system for studying how language structure is learned from speech.

The Interspeech paper sets the stage—more work building on this idea coming soon! And as always, please feel free to get in touch with comments etc.!

3️⃣ Temporally fine-grained → 5ms tokens preserve acoustic detail (e.g. speaker identity).
4️⃣ Unified → AuriStream learns strong speech representations and generates plausible continuations—bridging representation learning and sequence modeling in the audio domain.

4 key advantages of AuriStream:

1️⃣ Causal → allows the study of speech/language processing as it unfolds in real time.
2️⃣ Inspectable → predictions can naturally be decoded into the cochleagram/audio, enabling visualization and interpretation.
