PathRIR: Physics-Guided Acoustic Path Selection and Late-Tail Compensation for Fast Room Impulse Response Simulation

arXiv:2607. 23293v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Image-source-method (ISM)-based room impulse response (RIR) simulation is a useful and physically interpretable tool for acoustic scene modeling, but full-order ISM becomes computationally expensive as the reflection order and room complexity increase.

From Sounds to Scenes: A Benchmark for Evaluating Context-Aware Auditory Scene Understanding in Large Audio Language Models

Recent Large Audio Language Models (LALMs) have achieved remarkable progress in audio perceptual tasks across individual acoustic layers, including speech, sound, and music. However, existing benchmarks predominantly evaluate these layers in isolation, overlooking the complex contextual relationships that arise when multiple acoustic sources co-occur in real-world auditory scenes.

Spatial-Omni: Spatial Audio Understanding Integration in Multimodal LLMs via FOA Encoding

arXiv:2606. 10738v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent multimodal large language models mainly process audio as monaural signals, thereby discarding the spatial cues contained in spatial audio for sound localization, spatial relation reasoning, and spatial scene understanding.

How to Leverage Synthetic Speech for LLM-Based ASR Systems?

arXiv:2606. 29031v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In regulated domains such as banking and healthcare, where privacy constraints make real speech costly to collect and retain, synthetic speech from modern text-to-speech (TTS) is an appealing alternative for training automatic speech recognition (ASR) without exposing sensitive customer recordings.
