Multi-Domain Audio Question Answering Benchmark Toward Acoustic Content Reasoning
Chao-Han Huck Yang, Sreyan Ghosh, Qing Wang +14
We present Task 5 of the DCASE 2025 Challenge: an Audio Question Answering (AQA) benchmark spanning multiple domains of sound understanding. This task defines three QA subsets (Bio…
Visual Description Grounding Reduces Hallucinations and Boosts Reasoning in LVLMs
Sreyan Ghosh, Chandra Kiran Reddy Evuru, Sonal Kumar +4
Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) often produce responses that misalign with factual information, a phenomenon known as hallucinations. While hallucinations are well-studied, th…
MMAU: A Massive Multi-Task Audio Understanding and Reasoning Benchmark
S Sakshi, Utkarsh Tyagi, Sonal Kumar +6
The ability to comprehend audio--which includes speech, non-speech sounds, and music--is crucial for AI agents to interact effectively with the world. We present MMAU, a novel benc…
ReCLAP: Improving Zero Shot Audio Classification by Describing Sounds
Sreyan Ghosh, Sonal Kumar, Chandra Kiran Reddy Evuru +3
Open-vocabulary audio-language models, like CLAP, offer a promising approach for zero-shot audio classification (ZSAC) by enabling classification with any arbitrary set of categori…
CompA: Addressing the Gap in Compositional Reasoning in Audio-Language Models
Sreyan Ghosh, Ashish Seth, Sonal Kumar +7
A fundamental characteristic of audio is its compositional nature. Audio-language models (ALMs) trained using a contrastive approach (e.g., CLAP) that learns a shared representatio…
GAMA: A Large Audio-Language Model with Advanced Audio Understanding and Complex Reasoning Abilities
Sreyan Ghosh, Sonal Kumar, Ashish Seth +6
Perceiving and understanding non-speech sounds and non-verbal speech is essential to making decisions that help us interact with our surroundings. In this paper, we propose GAMA, a…
