PRISM-Bench: An Audio-Centric Diagnostic Benchmark for Text-to-Audio-Video Generation

PRISM‑Bench is an audio‑centric diagnostic benchmark for text‑to‑audio‑video generation, built from 900 human‑verified samples. It evaluates audio along two axes—audio type (speech, music, sound) and sound‑source visibility (on‑screen vs. off‑screen)—across four perceptual dimensions (audio‑visual coherence, audio quality, audio expressiveness, and prompt following) using 35 fine‑grained criteria. The benchmark employs an enhanced MLLM‑as‑a‑Judge protocol that aligns strongly with human raters, revealing a performance gap between frontier and open‑source T2AV models and highlighting overfitting to perceptual fidelity while struggling with complex grounding and control tasks, especially for music and synchronized on‑screen audio.
