EgoAVU: Egocentric Audio-Visual Understanding

CVPR 2026

Understanding egocentric videos plays a vital role for embodied intelligence. Recent multi-modal large language models (MLLMs) can accept both visual and audio inputs. However, due to the challenge of obtaining text labels with coherent joint-modality information, whether MLLMs can jointly understan

On the Open Prompt Challenge in Conditional Audio Generation

ICASSP 2024accepted

Text-to-audio generation (TTA) produces audio from a text description, learning from pairs of audio samples and hand-annotated text. However, commercializing audio generation is challenging as user-input prompts are often under-specified when compared to text descriptions used to train TTA models. I…

Stack-and-Delay: A New Codebook Pattern for Music Generation

ICASSP 2024accepted

Language modeling based music generation relies on discrete representations of audio frames. An audio frame (e.g. 20ms) is typically represented by a set of discrete codes (e.g. 4) computed by a neural codec. Autoregressive decoding typically generates a few thousands of codes per song, which is pro…

Streaming Transformer Transducer based Speech Recognition Using Non-Causal Convolution

ICASSP 2022accepted

This paper improves the streaming transformer transducer for speech recognition using non-causal convolution. Many works apply the causal convolution to improve streaming transformer ignoring the lookahead context. We propose to use non-causal convolution to process the center block and lookahead co…
