AVC-Reward: Event-Centric Audio-Video Consistency Evaluation

AVC-Reward introduces an event‑centric framework for evaluating audio‑video consistency, breaking down scenes into individual audio and visual events and assessing them at three levels: global narrative harmony, event‑level temporal synchronization, and fine‑grained attribute alignment. The metric, instantiated as a trainable reward model, is validated against human judgments using the AVC‑Benchmark, which contains diverse positive and negative samples from various generation models. AVC‑Reward outperforms existing automatic methods, offers interpretable failure localization, and enhances consistency when used as a reinforcement‑learning signal.

AVC-Reward: Event-Centric Audio-Video Consistency Evaluation

AVC-Reward introduces an event‑centric framework for evaluating audio‑video consistency in joint generation models. It separates audio and visual events, assesses them independently, cross‑validates cross‑modal relations, and aggregates results into a three‑level metric covering global narrative harmony, event‑level synchronization, and fine‑grained attribute alignment. The resulting AVC‑Reward model aligns closely with human judgments, offers interpretable failure localization, and enhances consistency when used as a reinforcement‑learning signal.

Persistent Robot World Models: Stabilizing Multi-Step Rollouts via Reinforcement Learning

The paper introduces a reinforcement learning post‑training scheme that trains robot world models on their own autoregressive rollouts, using a contrastive RL objective adapted from diffusion models. It also proposes a training protocol that compares multiple variable‑length futures, a multi‑view visual fidelity reward, and demonstrates state‑of‑the‑art rollout fidelity on the DROID dataset, outperforming baselines on LPIPS, SSIM, and human preference tests.

Temporally-Grounded Language Generation: Towards Real-Time Vision-Language Models

The paper introduces Temporally-Grounded Language Generation (TGLG), a benchmark that tests vision‑language models on their ability to produce semantically accurate and temporally precise utterances in real‑time settings. It identifies perceptual updating and contingency awareness as key capabilities, curates datasets from sports broadcasting and egocentric interactions, and proposes the TRACE metric to jointly evaluate semantic similarity and temporal alignment. The authors also present VLM‑TSI, a model that interleaves visual and linguistic tokens in a time‑synchronized manner, achieving better performance than a strong baseline yet still showing modest overall results, underscoring the challenge of real‑time VLMs.

Harnessing Intrinsic Subject-Aware Attention for Controllable Multi-Subject Video Generation

The paper tackles two main issues in multi-subject video generation—uncontrollable fidelity strength and semantic drift—by studying Diffusion Transformers (DiTs). It discovers that certain attention blocks naturally create an Intrinsic Spatial Grounding Map (ISGM) that accurately locates reference subjects. Leveraging this insight, the authors introduce Dual-phase Intrinsic Attention Leveraging (DIAL), which uses ISGM during low-noise stages to control fidelity strength without retraining and during high-noise stages to generate preference pairs for reinforcement learning, thereby anchoring attention and reducing semantic drift. Experiments on the OpenS2V-Eval benchmark show that DIAL outperforms baseline models, improving identity consistency and enabling controllable fidelity strength.
