Echoes Over Time: Unlocking Length Generalization in Video-to-Audio Generation Models

CVPR 2026

Scaling multimodal alignment between video and audio is challenging, particularly due to limited data and the mismatch between text descriptions and frame-level video information. In this work, we tackle the scaling challenge in multimodal-to-audio generation, examining whether models trained on sho

FOLEYBENCH: A BENCHMARK FOR VIDEO-TO-AUDIO MODELS

ICASSP 2026oral

Video-to-audio generation (V2A) is of increasing importance in domains such as film post-production, AR/VR, and sound design, particularly for the creation of Foley sound effects synchronized with on-screen actions. Foley requires generating audio that is both semantically aligned with visible event…

SoundCTM: Unifying Score-based and Consistency Models for Full-band Text-to-Sound Generation

ICLR 2025poster

Sound content creation, essential for multimedia works such as video games and films, often involves extensive trial-and-error, enabling creators to semantically reflect their artistic ideas and inspirations, which evolve throughout the creation process, into the sound. Recent high-quality diffusion…

TalkCuts: A Large-Scale Dataset for Multi-Shot Human Speech Video Generation

NeurIPS 2025poster

In this work, we present TalkCuts, a large-scale dataset designed to facilitate the study of multi-shot human speech video generation. Unlike existing datasets that focus on single-shot, static viewpoints, TalkCuts offers 164k clips totaling over 500 hours of high-quality 1080P human speech videos w…

VRDMG: Vocal Restoration via Diffusion Posterior Sampling with Multiple Guidance

ICASSP 2024accepted

Restoring degraded music signals is essential to enhance audio quality for downstream music manipulation. Recent diffusion-based music restoration methods have demonstrated impressive performance, and among them, diffusion posterior sampling (DPS) stands out given its intrinsic properties, making it…

GibbsDDRM: A Partially Collapsed Gibbs Sampler for Solving Blind Inverse Problems with Denoising Diffusion Restoration

ICML 2023oral

Pre-trained diffusion models have been successfully used as priors in a variety of linear inverse problems, where the goal is to reconstruct a signal from noisy linear measurements. However, existing approaches require knowledge of the linear operator. In this paper, we propose GibbsDDRM, an extensi…

Unsupervised Vocal Dereverberation with Diffusion-Based Generative Models

ICASSP 2023accepted

Removing reverb from reverberant music is a necessary technique to clean up audio for downstream music manipulations. Reverberation of music contains two categories, natural reverb, and artificial reverb. Artificial reverb has a wider diversity than natural reverb due to its various parameter setups…
