New framework enhances audio language models with trainable audio prompts

Researchers have developed a new framework for Audio Language Models (ALMs) that introduces trainable prompts directly into the audio encoder. This approach aims to capture task-specific acoustic features, enhancing few-shot adaptation by complementing existing text-side prompt learning methods. Experiments across 11 datasets indicate that this plug-and-play module generally improves performance when integrated with text prompt tuning, suggesting that explicit modulation of the audio representation space is effective.

    Acoustic Prompting via Stage-wise Modulation for Few-Shot Learning in Audio Language Models

    arXiv:2606.15751v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Audio-Language Models (ALMs) have shown remarkable success in zero-shot audio classification by aligning audio waveforms with text. Recent efforts to improve downstream performance focus on learning optimal text prompts. However, …
