Composition, Not Conversation: VLMs Lose the Scene, Not the Thread

L. D. M. S. Sai Teja, Ufaq Khan, N. Siva Gopala Krishna +5

Vision-language models (VLMs) increasingly reason over visual evidence that is cropped, segmented, retrieved, or revealed over time. Yet most VQA benchmarks present the complete im…

Advancing Video-Text Pretraining with Multi-View Captions

Fida M. Thoker, Renaud Vandeghen, Karen Sanchez +2

Video-text pretraining has achieved remarkable progress through the scaling of models and datasets, yet the quality of language supervision remains underexplored. Existing web-scal…

Last Translation Benchmark

Vilém Zouhar, Niyati Bafna, Mukund Choudhary +263

For scientific progress, we need benchmarks that test the limits of state-of-the-art models, and evaluation methods that inform us about failure cases. As models get stronger, stan…

TrackMAE: Video Representation Learning via Track Mask and Predict

Renaud Vandeghen, Fida Mohammad Thoker, Marc Van Droogenbroeck +1

Masked video modeling (MVM) has emerged as a simple and scalable self-supervised pretraining paradigm, but only encodes motion information implicitly, limiting the encoding of temp…

SMILE: Infusing Spatial and Motion Semantics in Masked Video Learning

Fida Mohammad Thoker, Letian Jiang, Chen Zhao +1

Masked video modeling, such as VideoMAE, is an effective paradigm for video self-supervised learning (SSL). However, they are primarily based on reconstructing pixel-level details…

Structured-Noise Masked Modeling for Video, Audio and Beyond

Aritra Bhowmik, Fida Mohammad Thoker, Carlos Hinojosa +2

Masked modeling has emerged as a robust self-supervised learning framework. However, most methods rely on random masking, which disregards the structural properties of different da…
