Researchers from Tsinghua University and ByteDance have developed SALMONN, a multimodal language model (LLM) that can recognize and comprehend various audio inputs, including voice, audio events, and music. They also propose a low-cost activation tuning technique to activate cross-modal emergent skills and reduce catastrophic forgetting. SALMONN performs well on a range of hearing tasks.
Revolutionizing AI’s Listening Skills: SALMONN – A Groundbreaking Multimodal Neural Network for Advanced Audio Processing
A team of researchers from Tsinghua University and ByteDance have developed SALMONN, the first multimodal language model (LLM) capable of recognizing and comprehending general audio inputs, including voice, audio events, and music. This breakthrough model utilizes a dual encoder framework, comprising a BEATs audio encoder and a speech encoder, to improve performance on both speech and nonspeech audio applications.
With SALMONN, companies can now leverage AI technology to revolutionize their audio processing capabilities. By “hearing” and comprehending a wide variety of audio inputs, businesses can automate customer engagement, enhance sales processes, and manage interactions across all customer journey stages.
