LVSum: A Benchmark for Timestamp-Aware Long Video Summarization

arXiv:2604. 10024v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Long video summarization presents significant challenges for multimodal large language models (MLLMs), particularly in maintaining temporal fidelity over extended durations and producing summaries that are both semantically and temporally grounded.

A Systematic Evaluation of Positional Bias in Multi-Video Summarization with MLLMs

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are increasingly used for video understanding, yet their reliability under multi-video inputs remains poorly understood. We study positional bias in multi-video summarization, where the quality of a per-video summary can change with the video's input slot even when the underlying content is unchanged.

Rigel: Self-Distilled Score Adaptation for Image and Video Captioning Evaluation

Automatic evaluation of image and video captioning is essential for benchmarking multimodal systems, although standard evaluation metrics show limited alignment with human judgments. Recent approaches using large language models (LLMs), commonly referred to as LLM-as-a-Judge, have improved alignment with human judgments but still suffer from a mismatch between large-vocabulary language modeling and evaluation over a small label set.

Seeing Time: Benchmarking Chronological Reasoning and Shortcut Biases in Vision-Language Models

Recent advancements in Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have significantly enhanced their ability to interpret complex visual semantics, yet their capacity for chronological reasoning remains under-explored. In this paper, we introduce a novel benchmark specifically designed to evaluate how VLMs perceive and reason about chronological information within and across images.
