BinauralVAE: Spatial Audio Reconstruction For World Models

BinauralVAE is an open‑source pipeline that reconstructs spatial audio using various Variational Autoencoder architectures, including complex‑valued variants, to learn latent representations of binaural signals. The project builds on realistic acoustic data from a simulated robot navigating an environment, providing a foundation for audio‑centric world models. It aims to map the causal link between navigational actions and their acoustic outcomes, positioning sound as a complementary modality for spatial awareness.

StreamAV-Bench: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Streaming Audio-Video Generation

StreamAV-Bench is the first comprehensive benchmark designed for streaming audio‑video generation, addressing the limitations of existing benchmarks that focus on completed sequences. It introduces a unified evaluation framework with a progressive track for instruction adherence and long‑horizon stability, and an interactive track for responsive interaction and state retention. The benchmark includes 32 fine‑grained, expert‑verified evaluation cases and evaluates 13 representative systems, revealing temporal drift in progressive generation and responsiveness bottlenecks in interactive control.

Do Joint Audio-Video Generation Models Understand Physics?

arXiv:2605. 07061v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Joint audio-video generation models are rapidly approaching professional production quality, raising a central question: do they understand audio-visual physics, or merely generate plausible sounds and frames that violate real-world consistency?
