Episode Details

Standard speech recognition treats background sounds as noise to discard, losing vital context like breaking glass or engine trouble. This exploration covers how audio-language models like MOSS-Audio, MiDashengLM, and Audio Flamingo learn to perceive complete acoustic scenes. By replacing monotonic speech targets with rich captions and explicit time tokens, these architectures bridge encoders to language models to track environmental events, musical structure, and subtle acoustic textures rather than just producing transcripts.
