Robust Audio-Text Retrieval via Cross-Modal Attention and Hybrid Loss
Meizhu Liu, Matthew Rowe, Amit Agarwal +8
Audio-text retrieval enables semantic alignment between audio content and natural language queries, supporting applications in multimedia search, accessibility, and surveillance. H…
Au-M-ol: A Unified Model for Medical Audio and Language Understanding
Meizhu Liu, Nistha Mitra, Paul Li +3
In this work, we present Au-M-ol, a novel multimodal architecture that extends Large Language Models (LLMs) with audio processing. It is designed to improve performance on clinical…
Lightweight and Production-Ready PDF Visual Element Parsing
Meizhu Liu, Yassi Abbasi, Matthew Rowe +2
PDF documents contain critical visual elements such as figures, tables, and forms whose accurate extraction is essential for document understanding and multimodal retrieval-augment…
Think Twice Before You Write -- an Entropy-based Decoding Strategy to Enhance LLM Reasoning
Jiashu He, Meizhu Liu, Olaitan P Olaleye +9
Decoding strategies play a central role in shaping the reasoning ability of large language models (LLMs). Traditional methods such as greedy decoding and beam search often suffer f…
PCRI: Measuring Context Robustness in Multimodal Models for Enterprise Applications
Hitesh Laxmichand Patel, Amit Agarwal, Srikant Panda +6
The reliability of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) in real-world settings is often undermined by sensitivity to irrelevant or distracting visual context, an aspect not cap…
RCI: A Score for Evaluating Global and Local Reasoning in Multimodal Benchmarks
Amit Agarwal, Hitesh Laxmichand Patel, Srikant Panda +7
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have achieved impressive results on vision-language benchmarks, yet it remains unclear whether these benchmarks assess genuine global reaso…
