CAViAR: A Causal Video Dataset for Fine-Grained Accident Reasoning in Real-World Scenarios

arXiv:2608. 19380v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While modern autonomous driving systems excel at perception tasks such as object detection and trajectory prediction, they lack the high-level causal reasoning required to interpret traffic accidents.

ID-VTG: Image-Disambiguated Video Temporal Grounding

arXiv:2608. 20127v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Video Temporal Grounding (VTG) faces significant challenges when natural language queries must distinguish between multiple events involving visually similar entities, particularly when relying on fine-grained visual attributes that are difficult to describe accurately in words alone.

ArmorOCR: Grounded Adversarial Visual Perception via Observation-Transferred Self-Distillation

arXiv:2608. 20122v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large multimodal models (LMMs) have demonstrated strong OCR recognition capabilities, yet remain vulnerable to adversarial visual text that is readable to humans but challenging for models to localize and recognize.
