VidOmni-Bench is a new benchmark for fine‑grained video understanding that asks models to verify whether each event in dense video captions is supported by the video. It contains 500 videos covering five complexity types and durations from 4 seconds to 90 minutes, and uses human‑verified sentence‑level labels to create hard negatives. Experiments show that Video‑LLMs often hallucinate events, struggle to detect incorrect descriptions, and exhibit varying weaknesses depending on video complexity and duration.

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are increasingly used for video understanding, yet their reliability under multi-video inputs remains poorly understood. We study positional bias in multi-video summarization, where the quality of a per-video summary can change with the video's input slot even when the underlying content is unchanged.

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.

Automatic evaluation of image and video captioning is essential for benchmarking multimodal systems, although standard evaluation metrics show limited alignment with human judgments. Recent approaches using large language models (LLMs), commonly referred to as LLM-as-a-Judge, have improved alignment with human judgments but still suffer from a mismatch between large-vocabulary language modeling and evaluation over a small label set.
