arXiv:2602. 10230v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Audio language models process input audio into rich frame-level representations, but the standard approach to temporal localization generates timestamps as sequences of text tokens, which discards the frame-level representations in favor of autoregressive decoding.

arXiv:2606. 06357v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Continuous audio autoencoders reconstruct waveforms well but often produce latents with weak structure for understanding, while self-supervised audio encoders capture semantics but are not directly decodable.

Encore is a new framework for generating long, synchronized audio‑video content. It splits the problem into local continuity, handled by iterative chunk‑wise synthesis with cross‑chunk context, and global consistency, enforced through reference audio‑video signals with shifted position embeddings. The Adaptive Signal Routing mechanism learns attention biases and residual scales to modulate the influence of each conditioning signal, enabling end‑to‑end joint audio‑video generation and infinite‑length inference.
