Abstract

Editing multi-camera concerts requires coordinated decisions about musical relevance, visual quality and cut timing. We present a modular framework that combines instrument activity from multitrack audio, visible instruments and image sharpness with beat-based timing and probabilistic camera selection. An interpretable scoring model links these components to the choice of views over complete shot intervals. Component tests and an exploratory expert study on a four-camera concert yield mixed assessments across the editing variants. The findings motivate extending local audiovisual relevance with contextual and sequence-level criteria. The architecture provides a basis for testing these extensions and studying how component behaviour affects the quality of complete edits.

Catalogue-Grounded Multimodal Attribution for Museum Video under Resource and Regulatory Constraints

Museum audiovisual archives are important records of visual culture, yet in-gallery video remains difficult to search because it lacks catalogue-compatible metadata. We propose CaGMulA, catalogue-grounded multimodal attribution for museum video: a locally deployable pipeline that combines video-language models, structured catalogue retrieval, and abstention-aware decision policies. The system summarises visible artworks, generates catalogue-style descriptions, and attributes title and artist only when evidence is sufficient. We evaluate VideoLLaMA2 and Qwen2-VL across four model configurations and four attribution modes on 18 in-gallery videos. Open-ended generation fails under conservative conditions, producing 0\% coverage across models. By contrast, closed-set catalogue retrieval reaches 100\% coverage with 62\% accepted title--artist correctness, while a verifier-gated hybrid mode reduces coverage to 50\% but improves accepted correctness to 78\%. The results show that reliable museum-video attribution is driven less by unrestricted generation than by catalogue grounding, visual retrieval, and selective abstention for curatorial review.

MMFact: Simplifying Multimodal Misinformation Detection with Shared Resources and Tools

Multimodal misinformation detection methods often rely on different preprocessing pipelines and auxiliary resources, making experimental comparisons difficult to interpret. We present MMFact, a collection of shared resources and tools that simplifies this research workflow. It brings together 47 detector implementations and baselines, three multimodal datasets, and prepared materials ranging from semantic features to OCR, image descriptions, and external evidence. Compatible methods can use the same materials, reducing variation introduced by preprocessing and supporting fairer comparisons. A modular training and evaluation framework preserves method-specific designs while providing common experimental procedures. By treating prepared materials as a shared research resource, MMFact helps researchers focus on developing and evaluating detection methods.

AdShot: Benchmarking Multimodal Large Language Models for Video Advertisement Clipping

Advertisers routinely create multiple duration variants of ads to meet marketing budgets and viewer preferences, a labor-intensive and costly process. While multimodal large language models (MLLMs) excel at general video understanding, their ability to perform specialized editorial tasks remains unexplored. We introduce AdShot, a benchmark for evaluating MLLMs on shot selection for ad clipping. It contains 823 professionally edited ad pairs (30-sec sources and 15-sec edits) across 194 brands and 17 industries, annotated with shot-level boundaries and content features (action, emotion, information, imagery). We evaluate 13 state-of-the-art video-only MLLMs and 2 audio-visual MLLMs (7B-72B parameters) on shot selection accuracy (Precision, Recall, F1), duration constraints (15s), and content preservation, including an audio ablation. We find: (1) model architecture matters more than scale, with smaller models often matching or exceeding larger ones; performance is strongest for target ads with 6-10 shots; (2) models exhibit a mean absolute duration error of 5.39s, with most tending to overshoot the 15s target, though they can still substantially reduce human editing effort; (3) all models exhibit systematic content biases, favoring information-rich and emotion-focused shots while under-selecting action and imagery. We publicly release our benchmark to facilitate research at the intersection of multimodal AI and computational advertising.
