• Abstract: Audio captioning is a recently proposed task for automatically generating a textual description of a given audio clip. In this study, a novel deep network architecture with audio embeddings is presented to predict audio captions. Within the aim of extracting audio features in addition to log Mel energies, VGGish audio embedding model is used to explore the usability of audio embeddings in the audio captioning task. The proposed architecture encodes audio and text input modalities separately and combines them before the decoding stage. Audio encoding is conducted through Bi-directional Gated Recurrent Unit (BiGRU) while GRU is used for the text encoding phase. Following this, we evaluate our model by means of the newly published audio captioning performance dataset, namely Clotho, to compare the experimental results with the literature. Our experimental results show that the proposed BiGRU-based deep model outperforms the state of the art results.

  We propose an audio captioning pipeline that uses an textitaudio language model to synthesize accurate and diverse captions for audio at scale. We leverage this pipeline to produce a dataset of synthetic captions for AudioSet, named textttAF-AudioSet, and then evaluate the benefit of pre-training text-to-audio models on these synthetic captions.

  We propose ZerAuCap, a novel framework for summarising general audio signals in a text caption without requiring task-specific training. Our framework exploits a pre-trained large language model (LLM) for generating the text which is guided by a pre-trained audio-language model to produce captions. Our proposed framework achieves state-of-the-art results in zero-shot audio captioning on the AudioCaps and Clotho datasets.

• Zero-Shot Audio Captioning via Audibility Guidance [57.70351255180495]
  We propose three desiderata for captioning audio -- (i) fluency of the generated text, (ii) faithfulness of the generated text to the input audio, and (iii) audibility. Our method is a zero-shot method, i.e., we do not learn to perform captioning. We present our results on the AudioCap dataset, demonstrating that audibility guidance significantly enhances performance compared to the baseline.
