MBZUAI researchers introduce PG-Video-LLaVA, a large multimodal model with pixel-level grounding capabilities for videos, integrating audio cues for enhanced understanding. The model uses an off-the-shelf tracker and grounding module to localize objects in videos based on user prompts. PG-Video-LLaVA is evaluated on video question-answering and grounding benchmarks, using Vicuna instead of GPT-3.5 for reproducibility.

Video-ChatGPT is a new multimodal model that combines a video-adapted visual encoder with a large language model (LLM) to enable detailed video understanding and conversation. The authors introduce a new dataset of 100,000 video-instruction pairs for training the model. They also develop a quantitative evaluation framework for video-based dialogue models.

A new approach to composed video retrieval (CoVR) is presented, which leverages large multimodal models to infer causal and temporal consequences implied by an edit. The method aligns reasoned queries to candidate videos without task-specific finetuning. A new benchmark, CoVR-Reason, is introduced to evaluate reasoning in CoVR.

Researchers from MBZUAI have introduced VideoMolmo, a large multimodal model for spatio-temporal pointing conditioned on textual descriptions. The model incorporates a temporal module with an attention mechanism and a temporal mask fusion pipeline using SAM2 for improved coherence across video sequences. They also curated a dataset of 72k video-caption pairs and introduced VPoS-Bench, a benchmark for evaluating generalization across real-world scenarios, with code and models publicly available.
