contents Our objective is audio-visual synchronization with a focus on 'in-the-wild' videos, such as those on YouTube, where synchronization cues can be sparse. Our contributions include a novel audio-visual synchronization model, and training that decouples feature extraction from synchronization modelling through multi-modal segment-level contrastive pre-training. This approach achieves state-of-the-art performance in both dense and sparse settings. We also extend synchronization model training to AudioSet a million-scale 'in-the-wild' dataset, investigate evidence attribution techniques for interpretability, and explore a new capability for synchronization models: audio-visual synchronizability.
