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.

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.
