SonicCaps: Large-Scale Diverse and Fine-Grained Captioning for Improved Audio-Retrieval
Recent advances in audio-language modeling have been driven by large-scale audio captioning datasets. However, existing datasets remain limited by low semantic diversity, generic descriptions lacking acoustic details, and one-to-one audio-caption mappings that poorly reflect the inherent ambiguity of auditory perception. We introduce SonicCaps, a large-scale audio captioning dataset comprising ~15M captions paired with ~700k audio clips, generated using a multi-modal large language model (Qwen3-Omni) conditioned on both audio and text. To explicitly promote diversity, we generate around 24 cap
