Auditory Illusion Benchmark for Large Audio Language Models
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.02277v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Perceptual illusions have long served as crucial probes into human cognition, revealing biases and limitations of perception. In the auditory domain, such illusions provide a unique lens for testing whether Large Audio Language Models (LALMs) replicate human perceptual tendencies. Despite their importance, most benchmarks focus on visual illusions or general audio tasks, leaving auditory illusions underexplored. To this end, we present AIB, the first auditory illusion benchmark for LALMs, covering ten representative illusions across music, soun

Why it matters
“Auditory Illusion Benchmark for Large Audio Language Models” highlights the need for repeatable measurement rather than a single impressive demonstration. Independent validation across datasets and clearly stated limitations determine whether a result can guide product decisions.
