SPHERE: Automatic Music Upmixing via Audio Language Model Post-Training with Spatial Heuristic Rewards
Zixun Guo, Calvin Murdock, Sanjeel Parekh +4
In this paper, we study the task of automatic music upmixing, wherein a system predicts spatial mixing parameters from a multi-stem recording. Different from existing methods that…
Towards Localizing Conversation Partners using Head Motion
Payal Mohapatra, Calvin Murdock, Ali Aroudi +4
Many individuals struggle to understand conversation partners in noisy settings, particularly amid background speakers or due to hearing impairments. Emerging wearables like smartg…
Text-to-Stage: Spatial Layouts from Long-form Narratives
Jefferson Hernandez, Swarnadeep Saha, Chenxi Whitehouse +6
In this work, we probe the ability of a language model to demonstrate spatial reasoning from unstructured text, mimicking human capabilities and automating a process that benefits…
Gaze Beyond the Frame: Forecasting Egocentric 3D Visual Span
Heeseung Yun, Joonil Na, Jaeyeon Kim +2
People continuously perceive and interact with their surroundings based on underlying intentions that drive their exploration and behaviors. While research in egocentric user and s…
EgoAdapt: Adaptive Multisensory Distillation and Policy Learning for Efficient Egocentric Perception
Sanjoy Chowdhury, Subrata Biswas, Sayan Nag +7
Modern perception models, particularly those designed for multisensory egocentric tasks, have achieved remarkable performance but often come with substantial computational costs. T…
Gaze-Enhanced Multimodal Turn-Taking Prediction in Triadic Conversations
Seongsil Heo, Calvin Murdock, Michael Proulx +1
Turn-taking prediction is crucial for seamless interactions. This study introduces a novel, lightweight framework for accurate turn-taking prediction in triadic conversations witho…
Hearing Anywhere in Any Environment
Xiulong Liu, Anurag Kumar, Paul Calamia +7
In mixed reality applications, a realistic acoustic experience in spatial environments is as crucial as the visual experience for achieving true immersion. Despite recent advances…
Spherical World-Locking for Audio-Visual Localization in Egocentric Videos
Heeseung Yun, Ruohan Gao, Ishwarya Ananthabhotla +6
Egocentric videos provide comprehensive contexts for user and scene understanding, spanning multisensory perception to behavioral interaction. We propose Spherical World-Locking (S…
