arXiv:2607. 04383v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Audio-Language Models (LALMs) reason fluently about sound yet struggle to localize precisely when events occur, while classical Sound Event Detection attains frame-level precision only over a closed label set.

SsgCaps is a publicly available dataset of human-engineered sound scenes, each paired with a precisely structured prompt that guides the sampling process. The prompts are drawn from a predefined action-based typology, enabling extensive yet plausible sampling. A comparative quantitative analysis shows only small differences between the open and private versions, supporting the recommendation of the open version for benchmarking sound scene generation algorithms.

arXiv:2606. 14141v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sound events are entities with semantic identities, locations, and trajectories, but current audio-language models usually reason about clips as global event content.

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:2605. 07061v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Joint audio-video generation models are rapidly approaching professional production quality, raising a central question: do they understand audio-visual physics, or merely generate plausible sounds and frames that violate real-world consistency?
