PlayWorld: Benchmarking World Models with Agent Players over Long-Horizon Objectives
Kaixin Ding, Xi Chen, Minghong Cai +9
Video world models simulate future states conditioned on current observations and user actions. Recent systems have demonstrated impressive video consistency and action controllabi…
CineCap: Structured Reasoning with Spatio-Temporal Anchors for Cinematographic Video Captioning
Xinyu Mao, Yuhui Zeng, Xiaokun Liu +6
Cinematographic captioning aims to describe how a video is filmed using professional film-language concepts such as camera movement, shot size, depth of field, composition, and sho…
Geometry-Instructed Video Editing
Chirui Chang, Xiaoyang Lyu, Yi-Hua Huang +7
Object-level geometric edits, including translating, rotating, scaling, duplicating, or removing an object, are routine operations in digital content creation (DCC) workflows, yet…
CapRiCorn-1K: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Video Captioning and Subject Referential Consistency Across Temporal Scales
Xinlong Chen, Jiafu Tang, Yue Ding +12
Accurate and comprehensive video captions with consistent subject references are critical for downstream understanding and generation tasks. However, few existing benchmarks can ob…
UnityShots: Memory-Driven Multi-Shot Audio-Video Generation with Boundary-Aware Gating
Jiehui Huang, Yuechen Zhang, Bin Xia +7
Generating a coherent multi-shot video requires structured cross-shot memory. Subject appearance, scene context, and speaker identity must persist across cuts. Existing approaches…
Stable Velocity: A Variance Perspective on Flow Matching
Donglin Yang, Yongxing Zhang, Xin Yu +5
While flow matching is elegant, its reliance on single-sample conditional velocities leads to high-variance training targets that destabilize optimization and slow convergence. By…
