MotionBlind: Probing the Illusion of Motion Understanding in Video-LLMs

arXiv:2609.09528v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Video large language models (Video-LLMs) are increasingly used as the perceptual front end of world models, a role that assumes they can read motion: h...

Select, Compress, Reinvest: A Controlled Study of Visual-Token Allocation in Long-Video MLLMs

The study investigates how long‑video language models decide which frames to keep, compress, and reuse, testing each decision in isolation across six selection rules, three benchmarks, and two answering models. It finds that selecting frames based on queries yields the biggest performance boost, that halving spatial resolution costs little, and that reallocating saved tokens to more compressed frames can further improve accuracy. The work also highlights the importance of a unified evaluation harness to avoid misleading comparisons.

SPLIT: Training-Free AI-Generated and Partially Edited Video Detection via Spatial Patch-Level Incoherence and Temporal Roughness

arXiv:2607. 02886v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deploying AI-generated video detectors in real-world services demands an ultra-low false positive rate (FPR) on real videos to avoid falsely rejecting authentic content, a regime where standard metrics such as AUROC fail to reflect actual operating behavior.

PERSIST: Persistent-State Discrimination for Shot Boundary Detection

PERSIST redefines shot boundary detection as a task of semantic discrimination, requiring a persistent update of a video’s latent temporal state rather than a transient visual change. It employs a FiLM‑conditioned sinusoidal representation network and a structured discriminator that fuses local change, transient impulse, and return‑to‑trend cues into a single interpretable per‑frame signal. The method achieves comparable recall to leading detectors while significantly reducing false positives from flash, text overlay, and archival artifacts, and it is trained solely on real transitions from ClipShots.
