Semantic Slots for Video Object-Centric Learning proposes a Transformer-based decoder that frees slots from spatial anchoring, enabling them to act as semantic queries invariant to object position. This design removes the need for complex temporal predictors, allowing a single-frame slot to decompose subsequent video frames. On YouTube-VIS, the method outperforms prior approaches, improving mBO by 31 points over VideoSAUR and achieving state-of-the-art results with 86.6% ARI and 62.8% mBO.

arXiv:2607. 00858v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Contrastive pre-training has propelled video-text alignment, yet models often inherit the critical limitations of their image-text predecessors like CLIP, resulting in entangled representations.

In video understanding, vision-language models (VLMs) must ingest massive numbers of visual tokens, causing the computational and memory cost of the prefill stage to rise sharply. Such visual sequences are highly redundant along the spatio-temporal dimension, yet a high compression ratio is often accompanied by the loss of critical details.

arXiv:2608. 03112v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models excel at image and video understanding but suffer from high inference latency due to the need to process thousands of tokens per image, limiting their deployment on resource-constrained edge devices and in real-time surveillance applications.
