Processing long-form videos with Video Large Language Models (Video-LLMs) is computationally prohibitive. Current efficiency methods often compromise fine-grained perception through irreversible information disposal or inhibit long-range temporal modeling via rigid, predefined sparse patterns. This
Recent advances in Video LLMs have improved video understanding performance, but temporally grounded understanding in long-form videos remains challenging. Most models encode video frames into a flat sequence of visual tokens, which are then processed together with textual input by the LLM. While ef…
Recent advances in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have shown impressive progress in integrating visual and linguistic understanding. However, most existing MLLMs inject visual information into the input space of large language models (LLMs), which substantially increases context length and
In the era of Large Language Models (LLMs), Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures offer a promising approach to managing computational costs while scaling up model parameters. Conventional MoE-based LLMs typically employ static Top-K routing, which activates a fixed and equal number of experts for…
Most current video MLLMs rely on uniform frame sampling and image-level encoders, resulting in inefficient data processing and limited motion awareness. To address these challenges, we introduce EMA, an Efficient Motion-Aware video MLLM that utilizes compressed video structures as inputs. We propose…
Video understanding is a crucial next step for multimodal large language models (MLLMs). Various benchmarks are introduced for better evaluating the MLLMs. Nevertheless, current video benchmarks are still inefficient for evaluating video models during iterative development due to the high cost of co…
Rotary Position Embedding (RoPE) has shown strong performance in text-based Large Language Models (LLMs), but extending it to video remains a challenge due to the intricate spatiotemporal structure of video frames. Existing adaptations, such as RoPE-3D, attempt to encode spatial and temporal dimensi
Existing video-language models (Video-LLMs) typically rely on concatenating visual tokens with textual inputs for joint modeling. However, this token-level alignment leads to significant inefficiency, especially when scaling to long videos with dense visual inputs. In this work, we propose a video-t
Recent trends in Large Vision Language Models (LVLMs) research have been increasingly focusing on advancing beyond general image understanding towards more nuanced object-level referential comprehension. In this paper we present and delve into the self-consistency capability of LVLMs a crucial aspec…
Referring expression segmentation (RES) aims at segmenting the foreground masks of the entities that match the descriptive natural language expression. Previous datasets and methods for classic RES task heavily rely on the prior assumption that one expression must refer to object-level targets. In t…
