AudioToolAgent: An Agentic Framework for Audio-Language Models
Gijs Wijngaard, Elia Formisano, Michel Dumontier +1
Large Audio-Language Models (LALMs) perform well on audio understanding tasks but lack multistep reasoning and tool-calling found in recent Large Language Models (LLMs). This paper…
AudSemThinker: Enhancing Audio-Language Models through Reasoning over Semantics of Sound
Gijs Wijngaard, Elia Formisano, Michele Esposito +1
Audio-language models have shown promising results in various sound understanding tasks, yet they remain limited in their ability to reason over the fine-grained semantics of sound…
Data-Balanced Curriculum Learning for Audio Question Answering
Gijs Wijngaard, Elia Formisano, Michele Esposito +1
Audio question answering (AQA) requires models to understand acoustic content and perform complex reasoning. Current models struggle with dataset imbalances and unstable training d…
Audio-Language Datasets of Scenes and Events: A Survey
Gijs Wijngaard, Elia Formisano, Michele Esposito +1
Audio-language models (ALMs) generate linguistic descriptions of sound-producing events and scenes. Advances in dataset creation and computational power have led to significant pro…
