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.

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.

The paper evaluates five training‑free, plug‑and‑play keyframe selection methods for multimodal large language models (MLLMs) on long‑video understanding tasks. It compares these methods across three different MLLMs and three video question‑answering benchmarks, finding that QAaF performs best in 13 of 15 settings while FOCUS ranks second. The study offers a unified benchmark for assessing MLLM‑agnostic keyframe selection techniques.
The paper introduces Seeing Before Synthesizing (SBS), a weakly-supervised dense video captioning framework that uses a vision‑language model to generate frame‑level narratives for gaps between events and detect transitions based on semantic changes. SBS refines temporal masks by aligning transition points with vision‑language cues, rather than relying on rigidly placed synthetic captions. Experiments on ActivityNet Captions and YouCook2 show that SBS achieves state‑of‑the‑art results in both captioning and localization tasks.
