Video-ChatGPT: Towards Detailed Video Understanding via Large Vision and Language Models

arXiv · · Significant research

Summary

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.

VideoGPT+: Integrating Image and Video Encoders for Enhanced Video Understanding

arXiv ·

MBZUAI researchers introduce VideoGPT+, a novel video Large Multimodal Model (LMM) that integrates image and video encoders to leverage both spatial and temporal information in videos. They also introduce VCGBench-Diverse, a comprehensive benchmark for evaluating video LMMs across 18 video categories. VideoGPT+ demonstrates improved performance on multiple video benchmarks, including VCGBench and MVBench.

PG-Video-LLaVA: Pixel Grounding Large Video-Language Models

arXiv ·

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.

A Benchmark and Agentic Framework for Omni-Modal Reasoning and Tool Use in Long Videos

arXiv ·

A new benchmark, LongShOTBench, is introduced for evaluating multimodal reasoning and tool use in long videos, featuring open-ended questions and diagnostic rubrics. The benchmark addresses the limitations of existing datasets by combining temporal length and multimodal richness, using human-validated samples. LongShOTAgent, an agentic system, is also presented for analyzing long videos, with both the benchmark and agent demonstrating the challenges faced by state-of-the-art MLLMs.

A Culturally-diverse Multilingual Multimodal Video Benchmark & Model

arXiv ·

A new benchmark, ViMUL-Bench, is introduced to evaluate video LLMs across 14 languages, including Arabic, with a focus on cultural inclusivity. The benchmark includes 8k manually verified samples across 15 categories and varying video durations. A multilingual video LLM, ViMUL, is also presented, along with a training set of 1.2 million samples, with both to be publicly released.
