Towards Efficient Audio-Visual Learners via Empowering Pre-trained Vision Transformers with Cross-Modal Adaptation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this paper, we explore the cross-modal adaptation of pre-trained Vision Transformers (ViTs) for the audio-visual domain by incorporating a limited set of trainable parameters. To this end, we propose a Spatial-Temporal-Global Cross-Modal Adaptation (STG-CMA) to gradually equip the frozen ViTs with the capability for learning audio-visual representation, consisting of the modality-specific temporal adaptation for temporal reasoning of each modality, the cross-modal spatial adaptation for refining the spatial information with the cue from counterpart modality, and the cross-modal global adaptation for global interaction between audio and visual modalities. Our STG-CMA presents a meaningful finding that only leveraging the shared pre-trained image model with inserted lightweight adapters is enough for spatial-temporal modeling and feature interaction of audio-visual modality. Extensive experiments indicate that our STG-CMA achieves state-of-the-art performance on various audio-visual understanding tasks including AVE, AVS, and AVQA while containing significantly reduced tunable parameters. The code is available at https://github.com/kaiw7/STG-CMA.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
