The paper introduces an adaptive temporal modeling framework for weakly supervised video anomaly detection that addresses the limitations of rigid Multiple Instance Learning approaches. It presents a Temporal Refinement Module using dynamic positional encoding and a learnable class token to capture long‑range dependencies, and an Event Segmentation Module that identifies event boundaries via temporal discontinuity analysis to produce discriminative event‑level representations. An adaptive similarity‑based fusion strategy replaces fixed top‑k heuristics, dynamically integrating snippet‑level and event‑level anomaly scores into video‑level predictions, and the method outperforms state‑of‑the‑art baselines on two benchmarks.

arXiv:2606. 14724v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Video anomaly detection in surveillance settings must balance detection accuracy against real-time throughput, a tension that existing methods address either through stronger feature extractors or more efficient architectures, but rarely both.

The paper investigates whether detailed articulated human pose provides more discriminative power than coarse spatial relationships for early violence detection. By fixing the downstream pipeline and comparing five interaction representations—including bounding‑box geometry, handcrafted pose analogues, enriched pose descriptors, and a learned joint encoder—the study finds that pose‑based representations do not outperform coarse geometry. When visual encoders are frozen and evaluated on larger datasets, person‑crop appearance and whole‑frame context outperform geometry, but cropping to interacting people offers no advantage over encoding the entire frame. The authors further demonstrate that pre‑onset frames contain source‑related artifacts (e.g., title cards, watermarks) that contribute significantly to discrimination, suggesting that benchmark performance may reflect these artifacts rather than true event evidence.

CoRE is a weakly supervised framework that learns fine-grained temporal and entity support for perceived risk in driving videos using only coarse video-level judgments. It first trains a video-level predictor, freezes it, and then uses structured interventions over candidate temporal regions or entity tracks to generate graded prediction-effect targets. These targets train a student model that can predict temporal and entity support directly from the original video, enabling fine-grained evidence localization without requiring detailed annotations.

Video anomaly detection (VAD) aims to identify and temporally localize abnormal events in videos. Supervised methods learn anomaly decision boundaries from target-domain annotations but require substantial in-domain data.
