Overreliance on AI in Information-seeking from Video Content

The study examines how generative AI influences accuracy, efficiency, and confidence in retrieving information from videos. Across 900 participants and 8,000+ tasks, AI assistance improved accuracy by 3‑7% when the relevant video segment was viewed and by 27‑35% when it was not, while also boosting efficiency by 10‑25% depending on video length. However, participants over‑relied on AI, leading to accuracy drops of up to 32% with a deceiving assistant, and their confidence remained unchanged across conditions.

VidOmni-Bench: A Benchmark for Fine-Grained Video Understanding via Spatio-Temporal Event Verification across Complexity and Duration

VidOmni-Bench is a new benchmark for fine‑grained video understanding that asks models to verify whether each event in dense video captions is supported by the video. It contains 500 videos covering five complexity types and durations from 4 seconds to 90 minutes, and uses human‑verified sentence‑level labels to create hard negatives. Experiments show that Video‑LLMs often hallucinate events, struggle to detect incorrect descriptions, and exhibit varying weaknesses depending on video complexity and duration.

NoteVQA: Benchmarking VLMs on Real-Life Questions from Human Communities

NoteVQA is a new benchmark that collects 252 real‑life visual questions from the Chinese image‑sharing platform Xiaohongshu, covering 12 topics and 7 user intents. Each question is paired with a concise expert reference and a human‑audited interleaved answer that blends text and visual evidence. The study evaluates VLMs on short‑answer correctness and interleaved answer quality using a new AgenticInterleave framework and a 12‑dimensional IVR‑12 rubric, finding that even state‑of‑the‑art models achieve only about 53% accuracy and lag behind human references in content quality.
