Researchers have conducted the first neuron-level interpretability studies on large audio-language models (LALMs) to understand how they encode emotion across different languages. The studies identified "Multilingual Emotion Neurons" (MLENs) and "Emotion-Sensitive Neurons" (ESNs) in models like Qwen2.5 Omni, Kimi-Audio, and Audio Flamingo 3. Causal interventions demonstrated that these specific neurons, when manipulated, can precisely control or degrade the model's recognition and generation of emotions, showing both language-specific and transferable cross-lingual affective capabilities.
