Summary of DCASE 2026 Task 5: Audio-Dependent Question Answering
Haolin He, Renhe Sun, Zheqi Dai +16
DCASE~2026 Task~5 introduces Audio-Dependent Question Answering (ADQA), which tests whether large audio-language models answer from the audio rather than from textual priors. An Au…
Measuring Audio's Impact on Correctness: Audio-Contribution-Aware Post-Training of Large Audio Language Models
Haolin He, Xingjian Du, Renhe Sun +16
Large Audio Language Models (LALMs) represent an important frontier in multimodal AI, addressing diverse audio tasks. Recently, post-training of LALMs has received increasing atten…
The Interspeech 2026 Audio Reasoning Challenge: Evaluating Reasoning Process Quality for Audio Reasoning Models and Agents
Ziyang Ma, Ruiyang Xu, Yinghao Ma +9
Recent Large Audio Language Models (LALMs) excel in understanding but often lack transparent reasoning. To address this "black-box" limitation, we organized the Audio Reasoning Cha…
Audio ControlNet for Fine-Grained Audio Generation and Editing
Haina Zhu, Yao Xiao, Xiquan Li +5
We study the fine-grained text-to-audio (T2A) generation task. While recent models can synthesize high-quality audio from text descriptions, they often lack precise control over at…
SenseNova-MARS: Empowering Multimodal Agentic Reasoning and Search via Reinforcement Learning
Yong Xien Chng, Tao Hu, Wenwen Tong +10
While Vision-Language Models (VLMs) can solve complex tasks through agentic reasoning, their capabilities remain largely constrained to text-oriented chain-of-thought or isolated t…
SLAM-LLM: A Modular, Open-Source Multimodal Large Language Model Framework and Best Practice for Speech, Language, Audio and Music Processing
Ziyang Ma, Guanrou Yang, Wenxi Chen +19
The recent surge in open-source Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLM) frameworks, such as LLaVA, provides a convenient kickoff for artificial intelligence developers and research…
