Abstract: Techniques for audio understanding using fixed language models are provided. In one aspect, a system for performing audio understanding tasks includes: a fixed text embedder for, on receipt of a prompt sequence having (e.g., from 0-10) demonstrations of an audio understanding task followed by a new question, converting the prompt sequence into text embeddings; a pretrained audio encoder for converting the prompt sequence into audio embeddings; and a fixed autoregressive language model for answering the new question using the text embeddings and the audio embeddings. A method for performing audio understanding tasks is also provided.

Abstract: A training device for treating snoring and apnea is creates positive pressure within a user's nasal passages during exhalation. Exhaling through a breathing tube inflates a primary inflation chamber and a secondary inflation chamber. The secondary inflation chamber is positioned in proximity to the user's nose while inflated, blocking the majority of any nasal exhalations and controlling nasal airflow and pressure.
