The Low Frequency Trap: Video Language Models Fail at Simple Event Bookkeeping

arXiv:2608. 06361v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Real-world video benchmarks provide broad coverage, but their fixed clips entangle event count, rate, duration, and visual complexity, making failure modes hard to isolate.

Moment-Video: Diagnosing Temporal Fidelity of Video MLLMs on Momentary Visual Events

arXiv:2606. 02522v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Video multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have made rapid progress on general and long-form video understanding, yet their ability to preserve brief answer-critical visual evidence remains underexplored.

Event-Driven Video Generation

arXiv:2603. 13402v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Current text-to-video models can make individual frames look convincing while still getting simple interactions wrong: objects move before contact, an intended action is skipped, a placed object keeps drifting, or a support relation breaks.

EgoPlay: Event-Triggered Video Editing for Egocentric Streams

arXiv:2607. 24560v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce EgoPlay, an event-triggered video-to-video editor for egocentric streams, obtained by fine-tuning a pretrained V2V diffusion transformer on event-conditioned data built primarily from Ego4D.

Temporal Preservation over Processing: Diagnosing and Designing Spatiotemporal Single-Stage Video Detectors

arXiv:2606. 31421v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Single-stage video object detectors are increasingly deployed in time-critical applications, yet it remains unclear whether these models genuinely reason over temporal context or merely exploit a single informative frame-a gap hidden by standard metrics, which reward correct predictions regardless of how they are reached.

Do Video-LLMs Actually Watch? Diagnosing Character-Tracking Failures in Long-Form Video

Can a Video Large Language Model (Video-LLM) follow one person through a long video, keeping track of who they are well enough to report, in order, how their outfit changes across a full TV episode? Benchmarks increasingly score this kind of task, and the strongest open-source 7--8B models now reach 37--38% on InfiniBench's global appearance task, which asks exactly that.
