Designing Textual Interfaces To Enhance Llm Reasoning On Audio-Visual Question Answering

Automatic prompt optimization (APO) has shown strong effectiveness for text-based LLMs and LLM systems, but its application to audio-visual understanding systems requires suitable textual interfaces through which multimodal reasoning can be exposed to text-based optimizers.

Key points

  • We investigate how the design of textual interfaces affects prompt optimization for multimodal reasoning, on the audio-visual question answering task.
  • Our study highlights textual interface design as an important factor in making prompt optimization effective for omni-modal reasoning systems.
  • Our implementation details are specified in GitHub repo.
