Abstract
Understanding long-range videos remains a key challenge in computer vision due to high temporal redundancy and computational burden. Despite strong performance of recent models, they are constrained in terms of scalability and generalization when applied to longer video sequences. In this work, we present Keyframe-based Spatio-Temporal Adaptive Representation (K-STAR), a redundancy-aware video summarization framework designed to generate compact and semantically rich representations that are effective in downstream tasks. The proposed method jointly models appearance and motion cues while filtering redundant frames. Importantly, it preserves critical temporal transitions while significantly reducing the number of processed frames. Additionally, each key frame is encoded using object, scene, and background-aware prompts, enabling richer semantic representation. Evaluated on the UCF-101 dataset, K-STAR achieves Top-1 accuracy of 93.06% and Top-5 accuracy of $\mathbf{9 8. 7 3 \%}$, with $\mathbf{5 6} \times$ frame reduction and $\mathbf{1 1. 5} \times$ faster inference, demonstrating competitive performance with substantially improved efficiency.
This work presents a novel framework that addresses two critical limitations of existing methods: inadequate modeling of hierarchical temporal structure and inability to handle complex many-to-many correspondences between modalities by introducing a multi-scale temporal convolutional encoder that captures motion patterns across different temporal granularities.
This work introduces VideoChat3, a fully open, efficient, and generalist video-centric MLLM, which surpasses prior open-source models with equal or larger parameter counts with only 4B parameters and higher efficiency.
Despite advances in Video Large Language Models (VLLMs) that have displayed promising outcomes in video understanding, the redundancy in the long-duration frames remains a hindrance to efficient reasoning. This paper introduces a training-free $\mathbf{P}$ersistence-Aware $\mathbf{C}$ompression and $\mathbf{A}$ggregation (PCA) method designed to preserve high-fidelity raw visual information before the encoding stage. PCA can be built on arbitrary VLLMs and consists of two modules: 1) A Dynamic Downsampling (DD) module that adaptively removes redundant frames by analyzing frame-wise similarity. 2) A Persistence-Aware Motion Enhancement (PAME) module that enriches each selected keyframe by aggregating the temporal context of its neighbors, ensuring that essential information is preserved even after aggressive frame reduction. Our approach substantially reduces the computation of long-context modeling, while enhancing the performance of the baseline model. Extensive experiments demonstrate that PCA consistently outperforms existing state-of-the-art approaches in both efficiency and accuracy, achieving a speedup of 1.8$\times$ to 2.5$\times$ compared to the baseline VLLM.
