• Abstract summary: We ask if similar spurious relationships might influence the task of video summarization. We first estimate a baseline with temporally invariant models to see how well such models rank on benchmark datasets. We then disrupt the temporal order of the videos to investigate the impact it has on existing state-of-the-art models.

• Abstract: An important aspect of summarizing videos is understanding the temporal context behind each part of the video to grasp what is and is not important. Video summarization models have in recent years modeled spatio-temporal relationships to represent this information. These models achieved state-of-the-art correlation scores on important benchmark datasets. However, what has not been reviewed is whether spatio-temporal relationships are even required to achieve state-of-the-art results. Previous work in activity recognition has found biases, by prioritizing static cues such as scenes or objects, over motion information. In this paper we inquire if similar spurious relationships might influence the task of video summarization. To do so, we analyse the role that temporal information plays on existing benchmark datasets. We first estimate a baseline with temporally invariant models to see how well such models rank on benchmark datasets (TVSum and SumMe). We then disrupt the temporal order of the videos to investigate the impact it has on existing state-of-the-art models. One of our findings is that the temporally invariant models achieve competitive correlation scores that are close to the human baselines on the TVSum dataset. We also demonstrate that existing models are not affected by temporal perturbations. Furthermore, with certain disruption strategies that shuffle fixed time segments, we can actually improve their correlation scores. With these results, we find that spatio-temporal relationship play a minor role and we raise the question whether these benchmarks adequately model the task of video summarization.

  TemporalBench is a new benchmark dedicated to evaluating fine-grained temporal understanding in videos. It consists of 10K video question-answer pairs, derived from 2K high-quality human annotations detailing the temporal dynamics in video clips. Results show that state-of-the-art models like GPT-4o achieve only 38.5% question answering accuracy on TemporalBench.

  Temporal Sentence Grounding in Videos (TSGV) aims to ground a natural language sentence in an untrimmed video. Recent studies have found that current benchmark datasets may have obvious moment annotation biases. We introduce a new evaluation metric "dR@n,IoU@m" that discounts the basic recall scores to alleviate the inflating evaluation caused by biased datasets.

We evaluate the proposed model in cross-scenario temporal grounding, where the train / test data are heterogeneously sourced.

We propose a causality-inspired VMR framework that builds structural causal model to capture the true effect of query and video content on the prediction.
