QC-MI-OVSEL: Benchmarking Query-Conditioned Multi-Instance Open-Vocabulary Sound Event Localization
We study query-conditioned multi-instance open-vocabulary sound event localization (QC-MI-OVSEL), where a system must recover all active physical sources matching a natural-language category query, including when the queried category is absent. We introduce the QC-MI-OVSEL benchmark, a 40,000-scene first-order Ambisoni...
