• Abstract: Large-scale sound recognition data sets typically consist of acoustic recordings obtained from multimedia libraries. As a consequence, modalities other than audio can often be exploited to improve the outputs of models designed for associated tasks. Frequently, however, not all contents are available for all samples of such a collection: For example, the original material may have been removed from the source platform at some point, and therefore, non-auditory features can no longer be acquired. We demonstrate that a multi-encoder framework can be employed to deal with this issue by applying this method to attention-based deep learning systems, which are currently part of the state of the art in the domain of sound recognition. More specifically, we show that the proposed model extension can successfully be utilized to incorporate partially available visual information into the operational procedures of such networks, which normally only use auditory features during training and inference. Experimentally, we verify that the considered approach leads to improved predictions in a number of evaluation scenarios pertaining to audio tagging and sound event detection. Additionally, we scrutinize some properties and limitations of the presented technique.

  Large audio-language models (LALMs) have shown impressive capabilities in understanding and reasoning about audio and speech information. These models still face challenges, including hallucinating non-existent sound events, misidentifying the order of sound events, and incorrectly attributing sound sources.

  We propose the AV-SUPERB benchmark that enables general-purpose evaluation of unimodal audio/visual and bimodal fusion representations. We evaluate 5 recent self-supervised models and show that none of these models generalize to all tasks. We show that representations may be improved with intermediate-task fine-tuning and audio event classification with AudioSet serves as a strong intermediate task.

  We introduce the encoder-prompt-decoder paradigm to decode localization from the fused audio-visual feature.

We develop a Correlation Adapter (ColA) to keep minimal training efforts as well as maintain adequate knowledge of the visual foundation model.

Results indicate that we can transfer knowledge from the video summarization task to a model trained specifically for the task of highlight detection.
