CASTELLA: Long Audio Dataset with Captions and Temporal Boundaries

Hokuto Munakata, Takehiro Imamura, Taichi Nishimura +1

We introduce CASTELLA, a human-annotated audio benchmark for the task of audio moment retrieval (AMR). Although AMR has various useful potential applications, there is still no est…

Hallucination Localization in Video Captioning

Shota Nakada, Kazuhiro Saito, Yuchi Ishikawa +3

We propose a novel task, hallucination localization in video captioning, which aims to identify hallucinations in video captions at the span level (i.e. individual words or phrases…

ProLAP: Probabilistic Language-Audio Pre-Training

Toranosuke Manabe, Yuchi Ishikawa, Hokuto Munakata +1

Language-audio joint representation learning frameworks typically depend on deterministic embeddings, assuming a one-to-one correspondence between audio and text. In real-world set…

Language-based Audio Moment Retrieval

Hokuto Munakata, Taichi Nishimura, Shota Nakada +1

In this paper, we propose and design a new task called audio moment retrieval (AMR). Unlike conventional language-based audio retrieval tasks that search for short audio clips from…

Language-Guided Contrastive Audio-Visual Masked Autoencoder with Automatically Generated Audio-Visual-Text Triplets from Videos

Yuchi Ishikawa, Shota Nakada, Hokuto Munakata +3

In this paper, we propose Language-Guided Contrastive Audio-Visual Masked Autoencoders (LG-CAV-MAE) to improve audio-visual representation learning. LG-CAV-MAE integrates a pretrai…

Lighthouse: A User-Friendly Library for Reproducible Video Moment Retrieval and Highlight Detection

Taichi Nishimura, Shota Nakada, Hokuto Munakata +1

We propose Lighthouse, a user-friendly library for reproducible video moment retrieval and highlight detection (MR-HD). Although researchers proposed various MR-HD approaches, the…
