New AVENUE benchmark targets audio-video editing model evaluation

Researchers have introduced AVENUE, a new benchmark and evaluation framework designed to improve audio-video editing models. The AVENUE benchmark includes 1,291 source clips and 7,957 editing instructions, curated from the VGGSound dataset, covering audio-targeted, video-targeted, and coupled edits. The accompanying evaluation framework is modality-aware and sample-specific, addressing limitations in existing systems that often overlook unintended cross-modal changes. Initial evaluations using AVENUE reveal that current models frequently introduce unwanted modifications to one modality when editing the other, regardless of the editing paradigm used. AI

IMPACT This benchmark aims to drive progress in controllable audio-video editing, potentially leading to more sophisticated multimedia manipulation tools.

RANK_REASON The cluster describes a new benchmark and evaluation framework for audio-video editing models, presented in an academic paper. [lever_c_demoted from research: ic=1 ai=1.0]

    AVENUE: Audio-Video EditiNg Understanding and Evaluation

    arXiv:2609.04253v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Audio-video (AV) editing aims to modify audio and video content according to a target prompt. Unlike single-modality editing, AV editing requires models to infer a modality-selective edit scope from the prompt alone: determining n…
