New AV-FABLE benchmark targets AI manipulation in long-form videos

Researchers have introduced AV-FABLE, a new benchmark designed to detect AI-driven manipulations in long-form videos. Unlike existing benchmarks that focus on short clips, AV-FABLE addresses the challenge of localized manipulations within longer content by separating audio and visual timelines. Initial tests show that current audio-visual large language models (AV-LLMs) struggle with zero-shot prompting for detection and localization, but their frozen perception features retain strong forensic signals. To leverage these signals, a new method called NFSR (Native Forensics via Separated Readouts) was proposed, which uses separate audio and visual decoders to achieve superior performance in identifying manipulated segments.

    AV-FABLE: Audio-Visual Manipulation Forensics in Long-Form Videos

    arXiv:2610.33413v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Localized AI manipulations in long-form videos often affect brief events within otherwise authentic content, making video-level classification insufficient for forensic analysis. Existing audio-visual deepfake benchmarks largely foc…
