Pitch hearing in audio-language models (PitchBench, Liessens Dujardin et al., 2026): naming the pitch of a tone mixed with noise, bells, crowd, rain or street sound at four signal-to-noise ratios (240 stimuli), with synthetic stimuli. A pitch answer counts when any of MIDI number, scientific pitch notation or frequency is right; accuracy in percent, higher is better.

Metric: Accuracy (%; name the pitch against background sounds at four SNRs). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around 2030. 6 models tracked.
