Encoder-Side Neuron Identification and Amplification for Acoustic Perception in Large Audio-Language Models

Yu-Han Huang, Chih-Kai Yang, Ke-Han Lu +2

Large audio-language models (LALMs) often underperform on fine-grained, non-semantic attributes of speech, such as a speaker's emotion, despite strong performance on speech content…

Escaping the Procrustean Bed: Groupwise Orthogonal Connectors for Audio-Language Models

Ho-Lam Chung, Ke-Han Lu, Yi-Cheng Lin +3

Audio-language models compress a speech encoder's output through a Querying Transformer (Q-Former) connector before feeding it to a large language model. We identify two failures i…

All That Glitters Is Not Audio: Rethinking Text Priors and Audio Reliance in Audio-Language Evaluation

Leonardo Haw-Yang Foo, Chih-Kai Yang, Chen-An Li +2

Large Audio-Language Models show consistent performance gains across speech and audio benchmarks, yet high scores may not reflect true auditory perception. If a model can answer qu…

MUGEN: Evaluating and Improving Multi-audio Understanding of Large Audio-Language Models

Chih-Kai Yang, Yun-Shao Tsai, Yu-Kai Guo +7

While multi-audio understanding is critical for large audio-language models (LALMs), it remains underexplored. We introduce MUGEN, a comprehensive benchmark evaluating this capabil…

TW-Sound580K: A Regional Audio-Text Dataset with Verification-Guided Curation for Localized Audio-Language Modeling

Hao-Hui Xie, Ho-Lam Chung, Yi-Cheng Lin +4

Large Audio-Language Models (LALMs) typically struggle with localized dialectal prosody due to the scarcity of specialized corpora. We present TW-Sound580K, a Taiwanese audio-text…
