Humans can selectively attend to a target sound and estimate its direction in complex scenarios, whereas such selective localization remains challenging for current deep learning-based systems. Sound source localization (SSL) has achieved remarkable success with deep learning, yet most methods localize all active sources without selectivity.

Existing multi-speaker dialogue systems bind speakers to utterances through structured supervision: per-turn tags, multi-stream transcriptions, or learnable speaker embeddings. These systems operate within speech-only pipelines that produce clean vocal sequences without the ambient texture of real conversations.
arXiv:2607. 24786v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Weak supervision sets a practical regime for audio-visual sound source localization as dense spatial annotations are costly to obtain at scale.

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.
arXiv:2601. 18904v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Generative AI for speech and audio is increasingly expected to serve users across languages, cultures, and communities, yet current auditory Large Language Models (LLMs) are still largely trained and evaluated on high-resource data.
