Video understanding has rapidly evolved toward video large language models (VideoLLMs): systems that couple video representations with pretrained large language models and condition generation on a te...
arXiv:2606. 07577v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Audio-visual large language models (LLMs) hold strong promise for long-form video understanding, yet their long-video inference is fundamentally limited by the linear growth of video tokens and key-value (KV) caches.
arXiv:2608.20473v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Video language models process videos as dense visual-token sequences with substantial representational redundancy. Compressing these sequences is there...
Audio Description (AD) provides spoken narration of visual events during dialogue gaps, making movies accessible to visually impaired audiences. The problem requires determining both what (which visua...
arXiv:2607. 25669v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Emerging Omni-modal Large Language Models (OmniLLMs) enable unified understanding of text, audio, and video, but their long audio-video token sequences introduce substantial memory and inference costs.
The paper introduces Cue2Narrate, a two‑stage pipeline that jointly predicts what visual events to narrate and when to insert the narration in long, untrimmed movie clips. It uses a dual‑head audio‑visual localizer to identify visual cue and narration windows, followed by a LoRA‑adapted vision‑language model that generates concise audio descriptions, trained with a Description Ranking Loss. The authors also present the LongLSMDC benchmark, comprising up to 8‑minute clips, and show that Cue2Narrate outperforms video‑only and audio‑only baselines by 5–12 points in average mAP and improves AD generation over fine‑tuned base VLMs.
