Sonic-AMG is a novel framework that generates human motion in real time from spatial audio, the first to do so in a streaming manner. It encodes acoustic content and body-relative source geometry as separate tokens, then uses a causal transformer with a flow head to produce continuous motion latents that a causal decoder turns into motion segments. The system introduces rehearsal training and spatial feedback to mitigate training‑inference mismatches, achieving state‑of‑the‑art FID and R‑precision on the SAM benchmark while enabling coherent, real‑time reactions to sound events and source locations.

BinauralVAE is an open‑source pipeline that reconstructs spatial audio using various Variational Autoencoder architectures, including complex‑valued variants, to learn latent representations of binaural signals. The project builds on realistic acoustic data from a simulated robot navigating an environment, providing a foundation for audio‑centric world models. It aims to map the causal link between navigational actions and their acoustic outcomes, positioning sound as a complementary modality for spatial awareness.

arXiv:2606. 01306v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While Transformer-based architectures have established themselves as a dominant paradigm in Multivariate Time Series Forecasting (MTSF), their core self-attention mechanism inherently functions as a low-pass filter, systematically smoothing out high-frequency signals vital for sharp local changes.
