Unlocking In-Context Learning in Audio-Language Models from Decentralized Medical Audio

Read the original on Hugging Face Trending Papers →

Clinical audio diagnosis in low-resource settings requires models that identify conditions from minimal examples without large annotated corpora. We propose Federated Self-Contextualization (FSC), a multimodal language model framework for in-context clinical audio diagnosis across federated hospital clients.

EXAM$^2$: $\underline{Ex}tending$ $\underline{A}udio$ $Understanding$ $in$ $\underline{M}ultilingual$ $and$ $\underline{M}ultimodal$ $Analysis$

EXAM$^2$ is a new benchmark for audio understanding that covers six languages and multiple modalities—speech, sound, music, mixed-audio, and visual images—providing 5,667 multiple-choice questions, 22,614 image instances, and 135,684 multilingual translations. It evaluates large audio language models (LALMs) and multimodal large language models (LLMs), revealing significant gaps in multilingual and cross‑modal performance. The authors also introduce Gemma3n-EXAM$^2$, a lightweight fusion model that improves multilingual results by up to 12.4% and multimodal results by 21.7% over a strong baseline.

Zero-Shot Respiratory Sound Classification through LLM-Augmented Audio-Text Alignment

The paper introduces a framework that aligns self‑supervised respiratory encoders with medical terminology in a shared latent space, enabling zero‑shot respiratory sound classification. By using a medical LLM to generate structured reports from metadata, the method creates dense semantic anchors for contrastive learning, combining a sigmoid‑based contrastive loss with the encoder’s native SSL objective and similarity‑aware negative sampling. On nine tasks across six datasets, the approach achieves a 61.3% mean zero‑shot AUC, outperforming CLAP and Qwen2‑Audio, and reaches the highest linear probing AUC with only 43% of the data used by full‑scale baselines.
