AVI-Bench - Audio-Visual Captioning: leaderboard

An AVI-Bench task: audio-visual captioning (280 videos): FENSE, the best sentence-BERT similarity to the reference captions with a fluency-error penalty. AVI-Bench (2026) evaluates omni-modal models zero-shot on audio-visual tasks arranged by cognitive stage; scores in percent, higher is better.

Metric: Task score (%) on audio-visual captioning (280 videos): FENSE, the best sentence-BERT similarity to the reference captions with a fluency-error penalty, on AVI-Bench (5,864 audio-visual items in 14 tasks over four cognitive stages), zero-shot with the same prompts for every omni-modal model; task scores normalized to percentages; higher is better.
