LiveSync: Iterative Self-Training for Lip-Sync Generation

Audio-driven lip synchronization aims to match target speech through localized mouth and jaw articulation while preserving subject identity, head pose, and surrounding facial context.

Key points

  • Naturally recorded videos provide synchronized reconstruction targets but rarely offer pairs that are matched in identity and pose yet differ primarily in speech-related articulation.
  • Mask-based training enables reconstruction from these videos, but random-reference inputs differ from the aligned self-reference used at inference.
  • We present LiveSync, an iterative self-training framework in which a single mask-based model generates pseudo pairs and is refined for deployment.
  • Experimental results show that LiveSync achieves leading synchronization performance on HDTF and competitive performance compared with the baselines on the AIGC-LipSync subset, while maintaining low inference latency.
