Researchers have introduced AVDC (Audio-Visual Decoupled Captions), a new dataset designed to improve omni-modal understanding by disentangling visual and auditory semantics. The dataset includes tripartite captions for videos: visual-only (V), audio-only (A), and joint audio-visual (AV), capturing modality-specific nuances and cross-modal interactions. To further enhance reasoning capabilities, they also developed AVDC-QA-CoT, a question-answering dataset augmented with Chain-of-Thought. A two-stage training approach, involving pre-training on AVDC and instruction tuning on AVDC-QA-CoT, demonstrated significant performance gains across various downstream tasks like video captioning and audio-centric analysis.
