LSAR: Sparse Lexical Representation Learning for Efficient and Interpretable Audio Retrieval

As Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) expand the scope of retrieval-augmented generation, recommendation, and multimedia search, audio retrieval is expected to become a dependable retrieval component. Yet existing systems struggle to reconcile lexical precision, non-verbal acoustic evidence, and efficient, transp...

Contrastive language-music pretraining for cross-modal music retrieval

Cross-modal music retrieval allows searching music by natural language queries, thereby resolving the challenge present in conventional tag-based music retrieval systems. This paper presents a contrastive pre-training framework for learning aligned embeddings between textural description and music audio signals. The pr...

MARS: What Retrieval Signals Are Hidden in Multimodal Large Language Models for Text-Video Retrieval?

Experiments on four text-video retrieval benchmarks show that MARS achieves state-of-the-art results in both direct similarity-based retrieval and reranking settings, and a hard-negative-aware slot specialization objective that encourages the slots to capture discriminative matching cues is introduced.

OmniRoute: Mapping Temporal Semantic Evidence to Audio-Visual Token Budgets for Efficient Omnimodal Large Language Models

Omnimodal large language models (Omni-LLMs) encode audio and visual streams into temporally interleaved token sequences for multimodal reasoning. However, processing long audio-visual token sequences incurs substantial prefill costs. Existing compression methods have made progress, but often overlook temporal changes i...
