BabelFake: A Multilingual Audio-Visual DeepFake Benchmark

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

BabelFake is a multilingual audio‑visual DeepFake benchmark featuring 399,000 clips from 496 consenting participants across five languages (English, German, Italian, French, Spanish). The dataset pairs 11 modern video manipulation methods with 4 voice‑cloning engines, covering both visual‑only and joint audio‑visual attacks. Experiments show that detection difficulty varies with the audio‑visual pairing, with significant performance drops when authentic audio is retained, and that cross‑language and demographic factors influence detector performance.

Vorch-Human: Unified Multi-Task Human-Centric Generation via Long-Horizon Continuation

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.

MADBench: A Benchmark for Modality-Aware Audio Deepfake Detection

arXiv:2608. 09593v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in speech synthesis and audio generation have made high-fidelity acoustic forgery low-cost and difficult to attribute, enabling a realistic attack scenario in which speech and background audio are independently manipulated over otherwise authentic video.

SyncVoice: Simple and Effective Automatic Video Dubbing with Vision-Augmented TTS

SyncVoice is a new automatic video dubbing framework that adds a lightweight Text‑Visual Fusion Module to a pretrained TTS system, aligning visual features with linguistic representations to produce temporally synchronized speech. The approach avoids complex architectural changes and achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on the LRS3 dataset in zero‑shot dubbing. When further trained on a large bilingual audio‑visual corpus, SyncVoice improves vocal fidelity while maintaining synchronization, enabling a single model to dub both Chinese and English videos.
