A Dive into Text-to-Video Models

VIDiff: Translating Videos via Multi-Modal Instructions with Diffusion Models

VIDiff is a unified foundation model that uses diffusion techniques to perform a broad range of video tasks, including both understanding tasks like language‑guided video object segmentation and generative tasks such as video editing and enhancement. Unlike prior methods that focus on short clips and require time‑consuming tuning, VIDiff can edit and translate videos within seconds based on user instructions and employs an iterative auto‑regressive approach to maintain consistency in long‑form videos. The authors demonstrate convincing generative results across diverse input videos and written instructions, supported by qualitative and quantitative evidence.

Training Design for Text-to-Image Models: Lessons from Ablations

Video generation models as world simulators

We explore large-scale training of generative models on video data. Specifically, we train text-conditional diffusion models jointly on videos and images of variable durations, resolutions and aspect ratios.

LAION-BVD: A 10-Million-Hour Open Video Dataset for Multimodal Pre-training

We present LAION-BVD, a large-scale open video dataset for multimodal learning, which contains 1.3B platform-specific video URLs collected from CommonCrawl. From these, we download 80M videos with a t...

Kairos: A Dataset for Fine-Grained Video-Language Modeling over Space, Time, and Dynamics

Kairos is a new video dataset designed for fine-grained video-language modeling, featuring long-duration videos from ten minutes to half an hour. Each video is annotated with time-resolved labels that capture ongoing actions, entity appearances, attributes, interactions, and evolving contextual cues throughout the timeline. The dataset supports fine-grained evaluation, long-range modeling, reasoning, instruction data construction, representation learning, and video generation.
