Grounded Product Understanding in Livestream Videos

The paper introduces GPUB, a large-scale benchmark for grounded product understanding in e‑commerce livestream videos, featuring 3,000 livestreams, 31K fashion products, and multi‑moment temporal annotations. It defines three evaluation tasks, with the main task (GPrU) requiring simultaneous product identification and moment localization. Existing multimodal models perform poorly on GPrU, prompting the authors to develop UniPro, which improves performance by learning product‑aligned, temporally structured representations.

TLive-Omni: An Omni-Modal Understanding Model for E-Commerce Live Streaming

TLive-Omni is an omni‑modal understanding model designed for e‑commerce live streaming, integrating image, video, audio, and text inputs into a unified representation. It introduces Per‑vGrid for timestamped token organization, a three‑stage supervised training pipeline, and a Faithful‑RFT reinforcement fine‑tuning stage to enhance answer faithfulness and expression quality. The model is supported by a scenario‑oriented capability taxonomy and a compact data production engine that generates training signals for tasks such as speech recognition, product visual grounding, and omni‑modal QA, achieving strong performance on live‑commerce benchmarks and good generalization to general tasks.

SGWIB:Sliced Gromov-Wasserstein Information Bottleneck for Video Highlight Detection

The paper introduces SGWIB, a single‑modal video highlight detection framework that applies an information‑bottleneck approach while preserving inter‑segment temporal structure through a new Sliced Gromov‑Monge Gap regularizer. It also proposes Home‑Away‑Related Contextual Pseudo‑Labels and a contextual disentanglement module to mitigate sports‑specific bias. Experiments on MrHiSum and MoSu datasets show SGWIB outperforms existing methods on multiple ranking and accuracy metrics.

TimeBlind: A Spatio-Temporal Compositionality Benchmark for Video LLMs

TimeBlind is a diagnostic benchmark designed to evaluate fine‑grained spatio‑temporal compositionality in video large language models (LLMs). It categorizes temporal understanding into three levels—atomic event recognition, event property characterization, and reasoning about event interdependencies—and uses a minimal‑pairs paradigm where video pairs share identical static content but differ only in temporal structure. Across 20 state‑of‑the‑art MLLMs tested on 600 curated instances, the best model achieved only 48.2% instance accuracy, far below human performance of 98.2%, highlighting a reliance on static visual shortcuts rather than true temporal reasoning.

LiveStarPro: Proactive Streaming Video Understanding with Hierarchical Memory for Long-Horizon Streams

arXiv:2606. 17798v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Despite the remarkable progress of Video Large Language Models (Video-LLMs), current online architectures still struggle to simultaneously process continuous video streams, decide autonomously when to respond, and preserve long-horizon contextual memory.

HMGCLIP: Heterogeneous Multi-Granularity Contrastive Learning for E-commerce Representation Learning

HMGCLIP is a unified multimodal embedding framework that uses a heterogeneous hypergraph to capture both fine‑grained and coarse‑grained product attributes. By mining structure‑aware hard negatives and aligning multi‑granular semantics at relation and hyperedge levels, it enables a dual‑granularity inference mechanism that dynamically fuses attribute evidence. Experiments on a new fine‑grained e‑commerce dataset and the public MAVE benchmark show that HMGCLIP outperforms strong multimodal encoders, MLLMs, and e‑commerce baselines.
