Spatial-Omni: Spatial Audio Understanding Integration in Multimodal LLMs via FOA Encoding

arXiv:2606. 10738v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent multimodal large language models mainly process audio as monaural signals, thereby discarding the spatial cues contained in spatial audio for sound localization, spatial relation reasoning, and spatial scene understanding.

BinauralVAE: Spatial Audio Reconstruction For World Models

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.

Listen, See and Track: Spatio-Temporal Audio-Visual Sound Event Reasoning for Omni-Modal Language Models

Understanding dynamic sound sources requires jointly determining what produces a sound, where the source is located, and how it moves over time. Yet existing audio-language models often represent clips as global acoustic events, while vision-language models lack the spatial audio cues needed to localize and track individual sources.
