Investigating Safety Vulnerabilities of Large Audio-Language Models Under Speaker Emotional Variations

Bo-Han Feng, Chien-Feng Liu, Yu-Hsuan Li Liang +9

Large audio-language models (LALMs) extend text-based LLMs with auditory understanding, offering new opportunities for multimodal applications. While their perception, reasoning, a…

SAKE: Towards Editing Auditory Attribute Knowledge of Large Audio-Language Models

Chih-Kai Yang, Yen-Ting Piao, Tzu-Wen Hsu +8

Knowledge editing enables targeted updates without retraining, but prior work focuses on textual or visual facts, leaving abstract auditory perceptual knowledge underexplored. We i…

TAU: A Benchmark for Cultural Sound Understanding Beyond Semantics

Yi-Cheng Lin, Yu-Hua Chen, Jia-Kai Dong +12

Large audio-language models are advancing rapidly, yet most evaluations emphasize speech or globally sourced sounds, overlooking culturally distinctive cues. This gap raises a crit…

DeSTA2.5-Audio: Toward General-Purpose Large Audio Language Model with Self-Generated Cross-Modal Alignment

Ke-Han Lu, Zhehuai Chen, Szu-Wei Fu +25

We introduce DeSTA2.5-Audio, a general-purpose Large Audio Language Model (LALM) designed for robust auditory perception and instruction-following. Recent LALMs augment Large Langu…

Reducing Object Hallucination in Large Audio-Language Models via Audio-Aware Decoding

Tzu-wen Hsu, Ke-Han Lu, Cheng-Han Chiang +1

Large Audio-Language Models (LALMs) can take audio and text as the inputs and answer questions about the audio. While prior LALMs have shown strong performance on standard benchmar…

Speech-IFEval: Evaluating Instruction-Following and Quantifying Catastrophic Forgetting in Speech-Aware Language Models

Ke-Han Lu, Chun-Yi Kuan, Hung-yi Lee

We introduce Speech-IFeval, an evaluation framework designed to assess instruction-following capabilities and quantify catastrophic forgetting in speech-aware language models (SLMs…

Analyzing Mitigation Strategies for Catastrophic Forgetting in End-to-End Training of Spoken Language Models

Chi-Yuan Hsiao, Ke-Han Lu, Kai-Wei Chang +3

End-to-end training of Spoken Language Models (SLMs) commonly involves adapting pre-trained text-based Large Language Models (LLMs) to the speech modality through multi-stage train…

LoCA: Location-Aware Cosine Adaptation for Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning

Zhekai Du, Yinjie Min, Jingjing Li +5

Low-rank adaptation (LoRA) has become a prevalent method for adapting pre-trained large language models to downstream tasks. However, the simple low-rank decomposition form may con…
