GENCHO: ROOM IMPULSE RESPONSE GENERATION FROM REVERBERANT SPEECH AND TEXT VIA DIFFUSION TRANSFORMERS

ICASSP 2026oral

Blind room impulse response (RIR) estimation is a core task for capturing and transferring acoustic properties; yet existing methods often suffer from limited modeling capability and degraded performance under unseen conditions. Moreover, emerging generative audio applications call for more flexible…

MMAU-Pro: A Challenging and Comprehensive Benchmark for Holistic Evaluation of Audio General Intelligence

AAAI 2026technical

Audio comprehension—including speech, non-speech sounds, and music—is essential for achieving human-level intelligence. Consequently, AI agents must demonstrate holistic audio understanding to qualify as generally intelligent. However, evaluating auditory intelligence comprehensively remains challen

AURELIA: Test-time Reasoning Distillation in Audio-Visual LLMs

ICCV 2025poster

Recent advancements in reasoning optimization have greatly enhanced the performance of large language models (LLMs). However, existing work fails to address the complexities of audio-visual scenarios, underscoring the need for further research. In this paper, we introduce AURELIA, a novel actor-crit…

Do Audio-Language Models Understand Linguistic Variations?

NAACL 2025short

Open-vocabulary audio language models (ALMs), like Contrastive Language Audio Pretraining (CLAP), represent a promising new paradigm for audio-text retrieval using natural language queries. In this paper, for the first time, we perform controlled experiments on various benchmarks to show that existi…

EGOILLUSION: Benchmarking Hallucinations in Egocentric Video Understanding

EMNLP 2025

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated remarkable performance in complex multimodal tasks. While MLLMs excel at visual perception and reasoning in third-person and egocentric videos, they are prone to hallucinations, generating coherent yet inaccurate responses. We present EGOILL

MULTIVOX: A Benchmark for Evaluating Voice Assistants for Multimodal Interactions

EMNLP 2025

The rapid progress of Large Language Models (LLMs) has empowered omni models to act as voice assistants capable of understanding spoken dialogues. These models can process multimodal inputs beyond text, such as speech and visual data, enabling more context-aware interactions. However, current benchm
