MiDashengLM: Efficient Audio Understanding with General Audio Captions
Heinrich Dinkel, Gang Li, Jizhong Liu +7
Current approaches for large audio language models (LALMs) often rely on closed data sources or proprietary models, limiting their generalization and accessibility. This paper intr…
GLAP: General contrastive audio-text pretraining across domains and languages
Heinrich Dinkel, Zhiyong Yan, Tianzi Wang +7
Contrastive Language Audio Pretraining (CLAP) is a widely-used method to bridge the gap between audio and text domains. Current CLAP methods enable sound and music retrieval in Eng…
X-ARES: A Comprehensive Framework for Assessing Audio Encoder Performance
Junbo Zhang, Heinrich Dinkel, Yadong Niu +4
We introduces X-ARES (eXtensive Audio Representation and Evaluation Suite), a novel open-source benchmark designed to systematically assess audio encoder performance across diverse…
Reinforcement Learning Outperforms Supervised Fine-Tuning: A Case Study on Audio Question Answering
Gang Li, Jizhong Liu, Heinrich Dinkel +3
Recently, reinforcement learning (RL) has been shown to greatly enhance the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs), and RL-based approaches have been progressively…
The ICME 2025 Audio Encoder Capability Challenge
Junbo Zhang, Heinrich Dinkel, Qiong Song +8
This challenge aims to evaluate the capabilities of audio encoders, especially in the context of multi-task learning and real-world applications. Participants are invited to submit…
