Audio-Visual Flamingo: Open Audio-Visual Intelligence for Long and Complex Videos
Sreyan Ghosh, Arushi Goel, Kaousheik Jayakumar +19
We present Audio-Visual Flamingo (AV-Flamingo), a fully open state-of-the-art audio-visual large language model (AV-LLM) for joint understanding and reasoning over audio, images, a…
Unified Audio Intelligence Without Regressing on Text Intelligence
Zhifeng Kong, Sang-gil Lee, Jaehyeon Kim +17
Audio intelligence involves understanding, reasoning about, and generating both audio and speech. In this work, we introduce Nemotron-Labs-Audex-30B-A3B (Audex), a unified audio-te…
RADIO1D: Elastic Representations for Condensed Vision Modeling
Greg Heinrich, Mike Ranzinger, Collin McCarthy +6
This paper challenges the assumption that vision-language models (VLMs) require fixed patch-based 2D vision features. Analyzing fine-tuned vision encoders, we find that representat…
Stateful Token Reduction for Long-Video Hybrid VLMs
Jindong Jiang, Amala Sanjay Deshmukh, Kateryna Chumachenko +7
Token reduction accelerates long-video vision--language models (VLMs), but existing methods target Transformers, where reduction is treated as token pruning. We study token reducti…
MMOU: A Massive Multi-Task Omni Understanding and Reasoning Benchmark for Long and Complex Real-World Videos
Arushi Goel, Sreyan Ghosh, Vatsal Agarwal +16
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have shown strong performance in visual and audio understanding when evaluated in isolation. However, their ability to jointly reason over…
Zone of Proximal Policy Optimization: Teacher in Prompts, Not Gradients
Byung-Kwan Lee, Ximing Lu, Shizhe Diao +8
Knowledge distillation transfers a teacher's competence to a small student but is brittle in the small-student regime: forcing the student to imitate logits from a much larger teac…
