Practical overview
When it fits
Use the repository when selecting a SALMONN-family research release for a speech, audio-processing or audio-visual task; check the corresponding branch for the materials relevant to that release.
Who it is for
- Researchers exploring multimodal language models for speech or audio tasks.
- Developers looking for research releases, checkpoints or training materials to build task-specific prototypes.
Documented uses
- Explore model releases for speech and audio-related tasks.
- Find an audio-visual model release for video understanding work.
- Use released training code, annotations or checkpoints as a starting point for research.
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and specifies an Apache-2.0 license.
- Releases have different tasks and materials; the repository points to separate branches and related projects.
- The speech-quality release includes data-processing scripts and fine-tuned checkpoints, while other releases have their own materials.
- The repository mentions inference and training code across releases, but does not provide one shared setup or inference workflow in the cited overview.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Choose a SALMONN research release to explore
Find the project branch or linked release corresponding to a SALMONN model variant or research task.
Before you start
- Access to the SALMONN GitHub repository.
Steps
Open the SALMONN repository and review the listed model-family releases.
Select the linked branch or repository matching the intended variant, such as SALMONN, video-SALMONN, or speech-quality assessment.
Follow that release's page for its own details.
Expected outcome
You reach the selected variant's project page for further information.
Guide limitations
- The repository index does not provide setup or execution instructions for these variants; consult the selected release page.
