Real-time long-form avatar audio--video generation requires causal, continuous synthesis while maintaining audiovisual synchronization and visual consistency. Adapting a pretrained bidirectional model to this setting presents two key dilemmas.
Recent advances in LipSync generation technology have led to the creation of highly realistic videos, posing severe societal risks. However, existing defense strategies struggle against LipSync forger...
Vorch-Human is a unified framework for human‑centric audio‑visual generation that handles multiple tasks—animating a person from speech, jointly generating speech and video from a voice reference, and synthesizing a scene from paired appearance and voice references—using a single dual‑stream audio‑video diffusion transformer. The model incorporates clean condition‑audio and condition‑video tokens, per‑token task embeddings, temporal position types, condition masks, and a shared multimodal prompt encoder to express diverse inputs such as driving speech, timbre examples, first frames, and subject images. A two‑level data pipeline supplies the necessary supervision by extracting speech, appearance, and timbre annotations from clips and linking consistent identity and outfit references across videos, while a frozen‑prefix recurrence enables long‑form audio‑driven generation with reduced boundary discontinuity and identity drift.

X-VC is a zero‑shot streaming voice conversion system that performs one‑step conversion directly in the latent space of a pretrained neural codec. It employs a dual‑conditioning acoustic converter that jointly models source codec latents and target acoustic conditions, while using adaptive normalization to inject utterance‑level speaker information. The model is trained with generated paired data and a role‑assignment strategy, and uses a chunkwise inference scheme with overlap smoothing to achieve low‑latency streaming inference, achieving superior WER, speaker similarity, and real‑time factor on the Seed‑TTS‑Eval benchmark.

PAGE (Parts-Aware Guidance) is a diffusion-based framework that improves co-speech gesture portrait video generation by enhancing local spatial fidelity and global audio‑visual consistency. It introduces Parts‑Specific Reweighting during training to focus supervision on key regions like lips, eyes, and hands, and Consistency Classifier Guidance plus Differential Guidance during inference to correct audio‑visual mismatches and refine motion separately. The authors also present the Chinese Announcer Speech (CAS) dataset, a large‑scale Chinese benchmark that expands on the PATS dataset, and demonstrate that PAGE outperforms existing methods in perceptual quality, gesture diversity, and audio‑visual alignment.

PVSync is a unified model that estimates audio‑visual offset and scores phoneme‑level articulation for lip‑sync tasks. It uses window‑level contrastive learning for synchronisation and a phoneme‑level articulation objective that aligns audio and video embeddings of the same viseme class across clips. The model achieves higher correlation with human rankings and better performance on offset recovery and viseme matching benchmarks compared to existing methods.
