New frame selection method improves video captioning quality and diversity

Researchers have developed a Learnable Frame Selector (LFS) to improve video captioning by intelligently selecting relevant frames. Unlike uniform sampling, LFS balances temporal diversity and event relevance, using feedback from large language models to optimize caption quality. This method has shown improvements on existing benchmarks and a new dataset, ICH-CC, and also enhances video question answering performance. AI

    LFS: Learnable Frame Selector for Event-Aware and Temporally Diverse Video Captioning

    arXiv:2601.14594v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Video captioning models convert frames into visual tokens and generate descriptions with large language models (LLMs). Since encoding all frames is prohibitively expensive, uniform sampling is the default choice, but it enforces…
