Auto-AEG: Scalable Data Construction for Open-Vocabulary Audio Event Grounding
Large Audio-Language Models (LALMs) reason fluently about sound yet struggle to localize precisely when events occur, while classical Sound Event Detection (SED) attains frame-level precision only over a closed label set. At the intersection of these paradigms lies the task of Open-Vocabulary Audio Event Grounding: predicting all time intervals of a target sound event described by an arbitrary natural language query. Progress is bottlenecked by data scarcity: no large-scale resource provides open-vocabulary onset/offset supervision, and manual temporal annotation is prohibitively expensive. To address this, we introduce Auto-AEG, a scalable pipeline that constructs such supervision by aut...
