The authors frame language-guided equalization as predicting a distribution of plausible settings, rather than one correct setting, because listeners can interpret a request differently. They collect 11 settings per prompt–audio pair and evaluate text-conditioned models by comparing predicted distributions with listener choices. Tested in-context-learning methods outperform random guessing on both metrics; this measures agreement with the participant pool, not listening satisfaction.
