LAION-BVD: A 10-Million-Hour Open Video Dataset for Multimodal Pre-training
Andreas Hochlehnert, Marianna Nezhurina, Mehdi Cherti +9
We present LAION-BVD, a large-scale open video dataset for multimodal learning, which contains 1.3B platform-specific video URLs collected from CommonCrawl. From these, we download…
LittleLearner: Language Models Under Pedagogically Controlled Knowledge Exposure
Fanfei Li, Jana Zeller, Manuel Prada-Corral +4
Modern language models are trained on heterogeneous web-scale text corpora. Consequently, studying knowledge and skill acquisition is difficult, as prior exposure to related conten…
Visual prompt engineering for video models
Robert Geirhos, Yuxuan Li, Thaddäus Wiedemer +7
In the age of foundation models, a model is only as good as its prompt. For this reason, prompt engineering has become an essential technique for improving language model performan…
VGGSounder: Audio-Visual Evaluations for Foundation Models
Daniil Zverev, Thaddäus Wiedemer, Ameya Prabhu +3
The emergence of audio-visual foundation models underscores the importance of reliably assessing their multi-modal understanding. The VGGSound dataset is commonly used as a benchma…
A Very Big Video Reasoning Suite
Maijunxian Wang, Ruisi Wang, Juyi Lin +53
Rapid progress in video models has largely focused on visual quality, leaving their reasoning capabilities underexplored. Video reasoning grounds intelligence in spatiotemporally c…
MATH-Beyond: A Benchmark for RL to Expand Beyond the Base Model
Prasanna Mayilvahanan, Ricardo Dominguez-Olmedo, Thaddäus Wiedemer +1
With the advent of DeepSeek-R1, a new wave of reinforcement learning (RL) methods has emerged that seem to unlock stronger mathematical reasoning. However, a closer look at the ope…
