EventVL: Understand Event Streams via Multimodal Large Language Model

Read the original on arXiv AI →

EventVL introduces the first generative event-based multimodal large language model (MLLM) designed for explicit semantic understanding of event streams. The framework leverages a newly annotated dataset of nearly 1.4 million event–image/video–text pairs and incorporates an Event Spatiotemporal Representation to capture comprehensive event information, along with Dynamic Semantic Alignment to refine sparse semantic spaces. Experiments demonstrate that EventVL outperforms existing MLLM baselines in event captioning and scene description generation tasks, advancing the field of event vision.

Hyper-RED: Scalable Event Pre-training via Semantic Hypergraph Distillation

Hyper-RED introduces a scalable image-to-event pretraining framework that transfers high‑order semantic structures via hypergraphs, avoiding rigid pixel‑wise alignment. By constructing image, event, and cross‑modal hypergraphs and applying a hypergraph relational distillation loss, the method preserves local relational consistency and event‑specific characteristics while inheriting image‑derived semantic organization. Experiments across five event datasets show consistent scaling from ViT‑S to ViT‑L and state‑of‑the‑art performance.

WALL-WM: Carving World Action Modeling at the Event Joints

WALL-WM is a World Action Model that shifts video-action learning from chunk-centric optimization to event-grounded Vision-Language-Action pretraining, using semantically coherent action events as the atomic unit of learning. Existing WAMs commonly initialize from multimodal or video foundation models and then optimize fixed-length action chunks conditioned directly on the current observation and instruction.

Seeing Before Synthesizing: VLM-Guided Transition Event Discovery for Weakly-Supervised Dense Video Captioning

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.
