The paper introduces CaC, a coarse‑to‑fine anomaly reward model that uses Vision‑Language Models to first scan globally for anomalous time windows, then ground anomalies spatially, and finally reason with structured spatiotemporal Chain‑of‑Thought. It builds the first large‑scale generated video anomaly dataset with detailed annotations and trains the model through a three‑stage progressive paradigm, including reinforcement learning with Group Relative Policy Optimization. Experiments show CaC improves fine‑grained anomaly detection by 25.7% and reduces generated‑video anomalies by 11.7% while enhancing overall video quality.
Video anomaly detection (VAD) aims to identify and temporally localize abnormal events in videos. Supervised methods learn anomaly decision boundaries from target-domain annotations but require substantial in-domain data.
The paper introduces an adaptive temporal modeling framework for weakly supervised video anomaly detection that addresses the limitations of rigid Multiple Instance Learning approaches. It presents a Temporal Refinement Module using dynamic positional encoding and a learnable class token to capture long‑range dependencies, and an Event Segmentation Module that identifies event boundaries via temporal discontinuity analysis to produce discriminative event‑level representations. An adaptive similarity‑based fusion strategy replaces fixed top‑k heuristics, dynamically integrating snippet‑level and event‑level anomaly scores into video‑level predictions, and the method outperforms state‑of‑the‑art baselines on two benchmarks.

PARSEE-VAD is a training‑free online video anomaly detection framework that separates semantic evidence acquisition from score‑state evolution. It uses Proposition‑Aware Reasoning to extract structured propositional evidence from the current causal window and selectively activates more specific queries, while Streaming Evidence Escalation maps this evidence into a compact score‑domain event state and propagates only the bounded state to maintain temporal continuity. Experiments on four benchmarks show strong performance with reduced specialist computation and sparse score‑state propagation, supporting a current‑first principle for streaming multimodal inference.
arXiv:2607. 18142v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Industrial Video Anomaly Detection (IVAD) aims to identify anomalous objects and events in an industrial process, which is crucial for modern manufacturing and quality control systems.
The paper introduces a test‑time reinforcement learning framework for anomalous video understanding, addressing challenges such as unreliable pseudo‑labels, inadequate reward design, and collapsed group‑relative advantages. It proposes dual‑query consistency filtering, an entropy‑aware consensus reward, and a virtual negative anchor mechanism to improve sample reliability, reward quality, and policy‑gradient signals. Experiments on VAU‑Bench demonstrate significant performance gains, especially on the ECVA subset where accuracy rises from 75.81% to 90.00%.

The paper introduces the Very Big Video Reasoning (VBVR) Dataset, a large-scale collection of over one million video clips organized into 200 curated reasoning tasks. It also presents VBVR-Bench, a benchmark framework that uses rule-based, human-aligned scorers for reproducible evaluation of video reasoning models. The authors conduct a large-scale scaling study, noting early signs of emergent generalization to unseen reasoning tasks, and make all resources publicly available.
