The paper introduces ACF-Net, an optical flow‑guided framework for asymmetric audio‑visual fine‑grained visual categorization (FGVC), addressing challenges where video and audio are not strictly synchronized or matched. ACF-Net comprises Optical Flow‑Guided Motion (OFGM) to capture motion‑sensitive visual cues and suppress background noise, and Asymmetric Cross‑Modal Adaptive Fusion (ACAF) to estimate modality reliability and perform uncertainty‑aware fusion. The authors also present BirdPro, a new bird‑oriented audio‑visual benchmark with 1,919 audio recordings and 11,965 videos across 194 species, and report that ACF‑Net outperforms baselines by 2.97% in fused and 1.92% in mismatched settings.

arXiv:2607. 00858v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Contrastive pre-training has propelled video-text alignment, yet models often inherit the critical limitations of their image-text predecessors like CLIP, resulting in entangled representations.
