n recent years, we have witnessed significant advancements in the field of visual generation which have molded the research landscape presented in computer vision conferences such as ECCV, ICCV, and CVPR. However, in a world where information is conveyed through a rich tapestry of sensory experiences, the fusion of audio and visual modalities has become much more essential for understanding and replicating the intricacies of human perception and diverse real-world applications. Indeed, the integration of audio and visual information has emerged as a critical area of research in computer vision and machine learning, having numerous applications across various domains, from immersive gaming environments to lifelike simulations for medical training, such as multimedia analysis, virtual reality, advertisement and cinematic application. x000D

Despite these strong motivations, little attention has been given to research focusing on understanding and generating audio-visual modalities compared to traditional, vision-only approaches and applications. Given the recent prominence of multi-modal foundation models, embracing the fusion of audio and visual data is expected to further advance current research efforts and practical applications within the computer vision community, which makes this workshop an encouraging addition to ECCV that will catalyze advancements in this burgeoning field.x000D
