MS2CAST is a semi‑supervised video anomaly detection framework that fuses multi‑scale cross‑attention between a vision transformer (MViTv2‑S) and a CNN (ConvNeXt‑T) for spatial encoding, and replaces optical flow with two interchangeable spatiotemporal modules—SwinLSTM and VMRNN—operating in latent space. The training objective combines L1 loss, Gradient Difference Loss, and Multi‑Scale SSIM to enforce pixel‑level accuracy, sharpness, and structural fidelity. Experiments on UCSD Ped2, CUHK Avenue, and ShanghaiTech show competitive ROC‑AUC scores while using less than 1 GB of GPU memory.

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.

MoG-VLM is a motion‑guided vision‑language model designed for efficient video anomaly detection. It uses a lightweight motion signal, Temporal Gradient Magnitude, to perform content‑aware sampling and activates dense multi‑frame VLM reasoning only around frames with high anomaly likelihood via a hierarchical dual‑stream design. The method achieves state‑of‑the‑art AUC‑ROC scores on four benchmarks and delivers a 1.31× inference speedup on XD‑Violence.
