SynthGait-19K: A Physically Grounded Synthetic Video Dataset for Gait Parameter Estimation

Researchers release SynthGait-19K, a synthetic video dataset with 19,272 walking videos for training gait parameter estimation models.

SynthGait-19K is a physically grounded synthetic video dataset built from 6,427 MoCap sequences of 437 subjects, yielding 19,272 walking videos with SMPL motion and annotations for six gait parameters. The authors introduce Gait2Vid, a pipeline that unifies heterogeneous MoCap recordings and synthesizes RGB videos under controllable viewpoints, validating gait events against force-platform measurements. Using the dataset they benchmark direct RGB, pose-based, biomechanical, and human-mesh-recovery approaches, and introduce GaitXFormer as a direct RGB reference model. Findings show synthetic supervision transfers to real video, while spatial gait parameters are more sensitive to visual domain shift.

DF26: We Cannot Tell Fake From Real Anymore

DF26 benchmark shows humans and state-of-the-art deepfake detectors perform near chance on videos generated by seven modern text-to-video models.

Researchers introduce DF26, a benchmark of 271 real and 2,420 fully synthetic videos created by seven modern video generation models, all depicting single-person public-speaking scenarios such as direct-to-camera recordings, official statements, and studio interviews. Human viewers and state-of-the-art deepfake detectors scored close to random chance at distinguishing fakes from real footage. The authors argue current evaluation protocols are insufficient and call for benchmarks that explicitly measure robustness to modern generative model distribution shifts.

BVB: Benchmarking Agentic Video Understanding via Programmatic Reconstruction in Blender

Blender-VideoBench evaluates agentic video understanding by having agents programmatically reconstruct real videos in Blender scenes.

BVB (Blender-VideoBench) tests whether multimodal agents truly understand videos by requiring programmatic reconstruction of real-world videos as animated Blender scenes via a lightweight Mini-BVB harness under identical sandbox and cost constraints. Evaluation uses Dual VQA for spatiotemporal fact preservation and Latent Similarity for perceptual match, combined in a square-root mean overall score. Across 51 configurations from 10 model families, the best model reaches 88.6 Latent Similarity but retains only 53.7% of source-correct spatiotemporal answers, showing semantic retention remains the main challenge.

OPEN-1B: A Fully Auditable Training Run

Open-1B releases a 1B-parameter model with bitwise-reproducible training, letting independent auditors verify every step of the run on commodity hardware.

The paper introduces a 'fully auditable' tier of model transparency: every training operation is reproducible with bitwise certainty on heterogeneous commodity hardware by imposing definite ordering on GPU kernel reductions, data batch ordering, and collective communication. Because replaying a full run on one machine is infeasible, a collective verification scheme lets many independent auditors certify individual steps covering the whole run. The authors release Open-1B with its full pretraining dataset, every intermediate checkpoint, the training codebase, and an audit harness. This rules out undisclosed data, injected biases, or backdoors that proof-of-learning or proof-of-training-data techniques cannot exclude.

Mask Forcing: Improving Autoregressive Video Diffusion Distillation via Dual-Noise Masking Rollout

Researchers propose Mask Forcing, a dual-noise masking rollout that mitigates mode collapse in autoregressive video diffusion distillation.

The paper targets over-saturation and over-smoothing in autoregressive video diffusion models distilled via Distribution Matching Distillation, attributed to reverse-KL mode-seeking behavior. Mask Forcing perturbs the student self-rollout with random masks along spatial and temporal axes, injecting cleaner tokens that act as denoising guidance for noisier tokens. Experiments show improved visual quality across multiple distillation methods without using real video data or extra post-training stages.

Forging Tree-Ring: Reproducing and Instrumenting Black-Box Semantic Watermark Forgery

Reprompt watermark forgery reproduces on Stable Diffusion XL using free-tier T4 GPUs, with forged images accepted by the genuine detector 5 of 6 times.

The authors reproduce the Reprompt forgery attack of Müller et al. against Tree-Ring watermarking on Stable Diffusion XL using the released code on free-tier dual T4 GPUs with 14.6 GB usable memory, versus the A40 hardware of the original study. Over six trials, the genuine detector flagged genuine images 6/6, clean images 0/6, and forged images 5/6, at 325-332 seconds per attack. They also recovered the detector's discarded non-central chi-square statistic and built two natural scores separating forged images from the clean null at AUC 0.861 and 0.972. The notebook, pinned fork, and all measurement artifacts are released with the paper.
