Why it matters
Addresses the lack of evaluation for full-video AD generation, providing a measurable benchmark that includes both fine-tuned and zero-shot approaches, which is essential for scaling accessibility.
Motivation
Visual content is the dominant medium of communication, yet without audio descriptions (ADs), it remains inaccessible to blind and low-vision people.
