Researchers have introduced VA-Judger, a novel omni-reward model designed to improve the training of joint video-audio generation models. This model addresses limitations in existing reward signals that often fail to capture the holistic semantic and temporal coherence preferred by humans, leading to "reward hacking." To overcome this, the team developed VAPref-10K, a large dataset of human preference comparisons, and the VA-Judger-Bench benchmark for evaluating reward models. VA-Judger utilizes a chain-of-thought approach, first establishing structured outputs and coarse discrimination from clear preference gaps, then refining this with rejection sampling for harder comparisons, and finally decomposing feedback into individual quality dimensions for denser rewards.
