Reward-Tilted On-Policy Distillation for Acoustic Grounding in Audio-Language Models

Audio-language models (ALMs) can exploit textual shortcuts to answer questions while overlooking acoustic evidence, weakening audio understanding. On-policy distillation (OPD) trains compact ALMs by supervising student-generated responses with teacher predictions, but does not explicitly distinguish acoustic support fr...

Mizar: A 159M-Parameter Audio-Language Model for Audio Understanding

Audio-language models (ALMs) integrate acoustic perception with the knowledge encoded in language models, enabling contextual understanding of auditory events. Making these capabilities practical on devices with limited memory and computation motivates our focus on small ALMs with fewer than 200M parameters. We introdu...
