Active Video Perception: Iterative Evidence Seeking for Agentic Long Video Understanding
Ziyang Wang, Honglu Zhou, Shijie Wang +6
Long video understanding (LVU) is challenging because answering real-world queries often depends on sparse, temporally dispersed cues buried in hours of mostly redundant and irrele…
Future Optical Flow Prediction Improves Robot Control & Video Generation
Kanchana Ranasinghe, Honglu Zhou, Yu Fang +7
Future motion representations, such as optical flow, offer immense value for control and generative tasks. However, forecasting generalizable spatially dense motion representations…
xGen-MM (BLIP-3): A Family of Open Large Multimodal Models
Le Xue, Manli Shu, Anas Awadalla +30
This paper introduces BLIP-3, an open framework for developing Large Multimodal Models (LMMs). The framework comprises meticulously curated datasets, a training recipe, model archi…
Strefer: Empowering Video LLMs with Space-Time Referring and Reasoning via Synthetic Instruction Data
Honglu Zhou, Xiangyu Peng, Shrikant Kendre +4
Next-generation AI companions must go beyond general video understanding to resolve spatial and temporal references in dynamic, real-world environments. Existing Video Large Langua…
xGen-MM-Vid (BLIP-3-Video): You Only Need 32 Tokens to Represent a Video Even in VLMs
Michael S. Ryoo, Honglu Zhou, Shrikant Kendre +9
We present xGen-MM-Vid (BLIP-3-Video): a multimodal language model for videos, particularly designed to efficiently capture temporal information over multiple frames. BLIP-3-Video…
xGen-VideoSyn-1: High-fidelity Text-to-Video Synthesis with Compressed Representations
Can Qin, Congying Xia, Krithika Ramakrishnan +16
We present xGen-VideoSyn-1, a text-to-video (T2V) generation model capable of producing realistic scenes from textual descriptions. Building on recent advancements, such as OpenAI'…
