Abstract

The growing popularity of short videos has driven demand for one-click content creation. Visual templates turn uploaded images into personalized content with preset effects, but reusable template generation still requires substantial manual effort in asset preparation and tool orchestration. We propose TemplateCraft, a multi-agent system that converts natural-language instructions into client-executable templates through planning, material generation, effect-workflow generation, and protocol compilation. Its Planner-Evaluator loop uses execution feedback for targeted rollback, while stage-level and long-term memory support revision without parameter updates. We evaluate TemplateCraft on TemplateBench, derived from 60 real-world templates. With the same Qwen3-VL backbone, TemplateCraft raises image/video generation success rates from 56.7%/30.0% to 66.7%/50.0% over Planner-only (best-of-three) and improves template adherence and style consistency. With additional evaluation and revision, it matches or exceeds a GPT-4o Planner-only baseline on selected metrics. Persistent assets further improve cross-input style consistency.

ASSEMBLE: Atomic Skills for Evidence-Grounded Video Reasoning

Complex video reasoning often depends on evidence scattered across distant moments, entities, and events, yet a correct answer alone does not reveal whether a model relied on the right parts of the video. We introduce ASSEMBLE, a framework that makes supporting evidence explicit throughout long-video reasoning. ASSEMBLE organizes local observations and cross-clip narratives into timestamped evidence catalogs traceable to the source video. A grounding-aware reader then composes question-specific atomic skills whose structured outputs contain explicit evidence references and support assessments. We use correctness-gated citation alignment as a direct grounding signal: after teacher-supervised fine-tuning, Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) jointly optimizes answer correctness and citation alignment. This produces inspectable intermediate traces while keeping final predictions linked to explicit supporting evidence. Using a 9B reader supervised by a 235B teacher and shared precomputed evidence catalogs, ASSEMBLE achieves 59.2% macro-averaged answer accuracy across three long-video reasoning benchmarks, compared with 58.3% for Gemini-2.5-Pro, while improving macro-averaged overlap-based Grounded accuracy by 6.7%, with gains on all three benchmarks. Ablations further show that, with the same post-trained reader and inference budget, structured skill inference improves Grounded accuracy over free-form reasoning. Together, these results show that explicit evidence grounding can be integrated directly into long-video reasoning without sacrificing answer accuracy.

TempQ-Jail: Query-Constrained Candidate Ranking for Text-to-Video Jailbreak Attacks

Existing text-to-video (T2V) jailbreak methods mainly seek more effective or stealthier attack candidates. In guarded T2V systems, however, video generation and security evaluation are costly, so an attacker often cannot test a large candidate pool. We therefore formulate T2V jailbreak as a query-constrained candidate allocation and ranking problem and propose TempQ-Jail. The method combines heterogeneous attack mechanisms to expand candidate coverage, estimates each candidate's end-to-end attack value from security-gate passage, dangerous visual generation, preservation of the original intent, and temporal validity, and ranks candidates so that high-value attacks appear early in a limited query trajectory. We evaluate TempQ-Jail on CogVideoX-5B using 70 common viable intents derived from T2VSafetyBench and compare it with six representative T2V jailbreak methods under a unified protocol. TempQ-Jail achieves TP-ASR@5 and TP-ASR@10 of 48.9% and 65.4%, improving over the strongest baselines by 4.6 and 4.0 percentage points, respectively. It also obtains the highest AUC-TP (0.469) and the lowest AvgQ (6.3). Analyses of query trajectories, candidate allocation, failure attribution, and ablations show that TempQ-Jail more effectively identifies and prioritises candidates with complete attack potential under limited query budgets.

ROAM-ASD: Robust Open-World Active Speaker Detection with Flexible Multimodal Fusion

Active speaker detection (ASD) requires reliable association between visible faces and acoustic speech, yet existing systems often degrade under challenging domains or incomplete observations. We introduce ROAM-ASD, a robust audiovisual framework that jointly models audio, full-face, and fine-grained mouth representations. A unified joint self-attention mechanism processes all input streams together with modality-agnostic query tokens, enabling direct interaction among available modality inputs. Modality dropout further improves robustness when input streams are unavailable. ROAM-ASD achieves state-of-the-art performance across five ASD benchmarks: 98.8% mAP on WASD, 87.9% on UniTalk, 96.5% on AVA, 99.3% on ASW, and 98.2% on Talkies, improving over previous best systems by 5.1, 4.7, 0.9, 1.0, and 2.1 mAP points, respectively. ROAM-ASD also substantially improves zero-shot cross-dataset generalization and remains robust to missing observations.
