Two new research papers introduce methods to improve the capabilities of large audio-language models (LALMs). The first, MUGEN, presents a benchmark for evaluating multi-audio understanding and identifies input scaling as a bottleneck, proposing training-free strategies like Audio-Permutational Self-Consistency to boost accuracy. The second, GigaChat Audio, focuses on temporal grounding in long audio recordings, developing a time-aware LLM that can answer questions with explicit timestamps over extended durations using large-scale synthetic supervision.
