Overview
Turn-Detector-Qwen3-0.6B: Semantic End-of-Turn Detection
The doodod/Turn-Detector-Qwen3-0.6B is a specialized 0.8 billion parameter language model, fine-tuned from Qwen3-0.6B, designed to enhance voice chat pipelines by providing semantic-level turn detection. Unlike traditional Voice Activity Detection (VAD), which can prematurely end a user's turn during natural pauses, this model analyzes transcribed text to accurately determine if a user's input has semantically concluded.
Key Capabilities
- Semantic Turn Recognition: Predicts the probability of the
<|im_end|>token, indicating the completion of a user's utterance at a semantic level. - Improved Voice Chat Flow: Reduces inaccurate interruptions in voice dialogue systems, especially when users pause while thinking.
- Small Parameter Footprint: Utilizes a 0.8B parameter Transformer architecture, making it efficient for deployment.
- Multilingual Support: Optimized for both Chinese and English dialogue scenarios.
- Robust Training Data: Trained on public datasets like Alpaca, MagicData, and ShareChatX, with specific optimizations for ASR-transcribed text characteristics (e.g., handling missing punctuation, filler words).
Good For
- Developers building voice assistants, chatbots, or conversational AI systems that require precise end-of-turn detection.
- Integrating into existing Voice Chat Pipelines to complement or replace VAD for more natural interaction.
- Applications where accurate understanding of user intent during pauses is critical for a smooth user experience.
