LVSum: A Benchmark for Timestamp-Aware Long Video Summarization

Apple 2 months ago 29

Researchers introduced LVSum, a benchmark with 72 annotated videos averaging 16 minutes to evaluate how well multimodal large language models summarize long-form video content with temporal grounding. Testing showed that transcripts significantly outperform visual frames for summarization quality, with a substantial gap remaining between AI-generated and human summaries. Current MLLMs struggle with temporal grounding and cross-modal coherence, revealing systematic weaknesses in understanding the temporal sequencing of events in extended videos.

RayRoPE: Projective Ray Positional Encoding for Multi-View Attention

Apple 2 months ago 51

Researchers introduced RayRoPE, a positional encoding method for multi-view transformers that represents patch positions using predicted 3D points along camera rays rather than ray directions. The method achieves 15% relative improvement on LPIPS metrics in the CO3D dataset for novel-view synthesis compared to alternative position encoding schemes. RayRoPE enables geometry-aware attention that maintains SE(3) invariance and can incorporate RGB-D inputs, improving performance on multi-view 3D reconstruction tasks.
