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.
arXiv:2606. 06615v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieving music using natural language descriptions has improved with contrastive audio-text models such as CLAP, but current systems remain limited to coarse semantic queries.
The paper introduces ACF-Net, an optical flow‑guided framework for asymmetric audio‑visual fine‑grained visual categorization (FGVC), addressing challenges where video and audio are not strictly synchronized or matched. ACF-Net comprises Optical Flow‑Guided Motion (OFGM) to capture motion‑sensitive visual cues and suppress background noise, and Asymmetric Cross‑Modal Adaptive Fusion (ACAF) to estimate modality reliability and perform uncertainty‑aware fusion. The authors also present BirdPro, a new bird‑oriented audio‑visual benchmark with 1,919 audio recordings and 11,965 videos across 194 species, and report that ACF‑Net outperforms baselines by 2.97% in fused and 1.92% in mismatched settings.
arXiv:2601.21670v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multimodal fusion is often treated as an optimization-balancing problem, where training signals are adjusted to prevent one modality from dom...
arXiv:2607. 00858v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Contrastive pre-training has propelled video-text alignment, yet models often inherit the critical limitations of their image-text predecessors like CLIP, resulting in entangled representations.
arXiv:2606. 01703v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We address the challenge of generating high-fidelity, long-form soundtracks that remain coherent across scene transitions.
arXiv:2606. 10010v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Evaluating text-to-music (TTM) systems remains expensive because music impression (MI) and text alignment (TA) scores rely on human mean opinion scores (MOS).
arXiv:2505. 18614v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Lyrics translation requires both accurate semantic transfer and preservation of musical rhythm, syllabic structure, and poetic style.
arXiv:2608.30974v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Joint-Embedding Predictive Architecture (JEPA) has shown strong performance in learning rich representations through self-supervised prediction in la...
arXiv:2607. 15295v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present AV-JEPA, an elegant multimodal extension of LeJEPA to audio-visual self-supervised learning.
arXiv:2603. 01006v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: REPresentation Alignment (REPA) improves the training of generative flow models by aligning intermediate hidden states with pretrained teacher features, but its effectiveness in token-conditioned audio Flow Matching critically depends on the choice of supervised layers, which is typically made heuristically based on the depth.
arXiv:2607. 11364v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generating immersive, synchronized and cinematic audio for long-form textual narratives remains a significant challenge in multi-modal AI.
