CrossEdit: Cross-Modal Training Enables Rich Audio-Visual Editing

William Chen, Prem Seetharaman, Ke Chen +10

Multimedia editing requires generative models to interpret complex, compositional instructions and modify only the desired elements across modalities, a capability largely beyond e…

Smorph: Playable Sound Morphing with Diffusion Models

Annie Chu, Hugo Flores García, Johannes Imort +5

Sound morphing, generating intermediate sounds that transition from one sonic identity to another, can be a powerful tool for musical sound design. Existing diffusion-based morphin…

Taming Audio VAEs via Target-KL Regularization

Prem Seetharaman, Rithesh Kumar

Latent diffusion models have emerged as the dominant paradigm for many generation tasks including audio generation such as text-to-audio, text-to-music and text-to-speech. A key co…

Audio Hallucination Attacks: Probing the Reliability of Large Audio Language Models

Ashish Seth, Sonal Kumar, Ramaneswaran Selvakumar +5

Large Audio Language Models (LALMs) achieve strong performance on audio-language tasks; however, their reliability in real-world settings remains underexplored. We introduce Audio…

AudioChat: Unified Audio Storytelling, Editing, and Understanding with Transfusion Forcing

William Chen, Prem Seetharaman, Rithesh Kumar +4

Despite recent breakthroughs, audio foundation models struggle in processing complex multi-source acoustic scenes. We refer to this challenging domain as audio stories, which can h…

Generative Audio Extension and Morphing

Prem Seetharaman, Oriol Nieto, Justin Salamon

In audio-related creative tasks, sound designers often seek to extend and morph different sounds from their libraries. Generative audio models, capable of creating audio using exam…

TAC: Timestamped Audio Captioning

Sonal Kumar, Prem Seetharaman, Ke Chen +8

Large Audio Language Models struggle to disentangle overlapping events in complex acoustic scenes, yielding temporally inconsistent captions and frequent hallucinations. We introdu…

Audiocards: Structured Metadata Improves Audio Language Models For Sound Design

Sripathi Sridhar, Prem Seetharaman, Oriol Nieto +2

Sound designers search for sounds in large sound effects libraries using aspects such as sound class or visual context. However, the metadata needed for such search is often missin…

Mix2Morph: Learning Sound Morphing from Noisy Mixes

Annie Chu, Hugo Flores García, Oriol Nieto +3

We introduce Mix2Morph, a text-to-audio diffusion model fine-tuned to perform sound morphing without a dedicated dataset of morphs. By finetuning on noisy surrogate mixes at higher…
