Automatically generating videos in which synthesized speech is synchronized with lip movements in a talking head has great potential in many human-computer interaction scenarios. In this paper, we present an automatic method to generate…

Recent large vision-language models have achieved strong performance on short- and medium-length video understanding, yet they remain inadequate for ultra-long or even infinite video reasoning, where models must preserve coherent memory…

State-of-the-art target speaker extraction (TSE) systems are typically designed to generalize to any given mixing environment, necessitating a model with a large enough capacity as a generalist. Personalized speech enhancement could be a…

Flow-based generative models have greatly improved text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis quality, but inference speed remains limited by the iterative sampling process and multiple function evaluations (NFE). The recent MeanFlow model accelerates…

Retrieval-augmented generation from videos requires systems to retrieve relevant audiovisual evidence from large corpora and synthesize it into coherent, attributed text. Current approaches struggle at both ends: retrieval methods fail on…

Talking-head video editing aims to efficiently insert, delete, and substitute the word of a pre-recorded video through a text transcript editor. The key challenge for this task is obtaining an editing model that generates new talking-head…
