SonicBench: Dissecting the Physical Perception Bottleneck in Large Audio Language Models

Yirong Sun, Yanjun Chen, Xin Qiu +8

Large Audio Language Models (LALMs) excel at semantic and paralinguistic tasks, yet their ability to perceive the fundamental physical attributes of audio such as pitch, loudness,…
