Crowdsourced labeling provides valuable labeled data for domains across natural language processing, computer vision, and video. Label aggregation aims to infer latent true labels from noisy and biased annotations, with the key lying in annotator reliability estimation.
Video-IFBench is a new benchmark designed to evaluate how well multimodal large language models (MLLMs) follow user-specified instructions in video understanding tasks. It introduces an instruction taxonomy with four templates—single-task, multi-task, selection, and nested—covering 32 task types and 39 constraint categories that span semantic and format requirements. The benchmark was built using a semi-automatic pipeline that combines MLLMs, programmatic processing, and human verification, producing 1.5K samples, and a large-scale evaluation of over 20 recent MLLMs shows that instruction following remains difficult, especially for complex constraints and conditional structures.

Automated classroom engagement recognition holds substantial promise for scalable learning analytics, yet the suitability of modern Vision-Language Models (VLMs) for this task under zero-shot conditions remains largely unexplored. We present a systematic benchmark that evaluates five widely-used VLMs: CLIP, BLIP-VQA, GPT-4o, LLaVA-1.

SONIC‑O1 is a new benchmark designed to evaluate multimodal large language models on audio‑video understanding. It contains 60 hours of 231 clips across 13 real‑world conversational domains, with 4,958 human‑verified annotations and demographic metadata. The benchmark tests open‑ended summarization, multiple‑choice question answering, and temporally grounded reasoning, revealing performance gaps between model families and across demographic groups.
