New benchmark NeMo challenges video LLMs on temporal understanding

Researchers have introduced NeMo, a novel task and benchmark called NeMoBench, designed to evaluate the temporal understanding capabilities of video large language models (VideoLLMs). The task, inspired by the 'needle in a haystack' test, focuses on retrieval-style long-context recall and temporal grounding. NeMoBench comprises over 31,000 question-answer pairs derived from thousands of videos, with a scalable automated pipeline ensuring its continuous updateability. Experiments on 20 state-of-the-art models reveal their current strengths and weaknesses in temporal understanding. AI

IMPACT Introduces a new benchmark to push the capabilities of video large language models in temporal understanding.
