MOSS-Audio-Thinking — Caption Variant Evaluation

Every variant produces the voice-acting caption (GENERAL + per-sentence SCRIPT with cues, inline bursts and [pause]) for the same 100 clips. Each caption is scored 1–10 by Gemini-3.5-Flash, which listens to the audio and rates General, How-to-say (delivery cues), Inline-text (transcription), Vocal-burst accuracy, and Overall. We compare model size (4B vs 8B), reasoning (Thinking on/off), and the upstream ASR (Parakeet-v3 vs Qwen3-ASR vs VibeVoice).

Conclusions & recommendations

Thinking on vs. off:

ASR comparison — does a better ASR improve the caption?

The MOSS config is held fixed (8B · Thinking); only the ASR transcript/timestamps fed in changes. Because these demo clips have no ground-truth transcript, the fairest quality signal is Gemini's inline-text and overall scores on the resulting caption (Gemini hears the audio). An alternative ASR beat Parakeet-v3.

Vocal-burst locator experiment — does injecting burst timestamps help?

Idea (as requested): run laion/vocalburst-locator at a looser threshold 0.7 (0.9 has many false negatives), pass the flagged time regions to MOSS-8B (no-think) as hints, give it the complete VocalBurst taxonomy, and prompt it to prioritise identifying/labelling bursts (inline + in GENERAL). Result on 95 judged clips:

Finding: the aggressive locator-hint + burst-emphasis approach HURT quality. Pushed to look for bursts, MOSS hallucinated them (e.g. a "Guffaw"/"Chuckle" where the audio has none) or mislabeled the locator's false-positive regions (a breath/gasp called a chuckle). The baseline scores high on burst accuracy precisely by staying conservative (correctly adding none on burst-free clips). Recall went up but precision collapsed. A gentler operating point (higher threshold, "only if clearly audible" prompt) would be the next thing to try. Example clips the judge penalised for a hallucinated/mislabeled burst:

⚖ Gemini: The voice is a quiet whisper rather than 'bassy' or 'elderly', and the 'Chuckle' is actually a sharp breath/gasp.
