• Abstract: Motion instruction generation in cross-video comparison aims to produce corrective feedback that describes the differences between a query and a reference motion. However, existing models often generate instructions that exhibit motion hallucinations, failing to reflect actual kinematic differences between paired videos. To systematically investigate these hallucinations, we introduce MotionHalluc, a dedicated benchmark for evaluating motion hallucinations in paired-video comparison. MotionHalluc comprises 1540 fine-grained questions over 553 video pairs, evaluating hallucinations along three core dimensions: (1)directional hallucination, (2)attributional hallucination, and (3)temporal hallucination. Extensive evaluations of state-of-the-art large multimodal models demonstrate high susceptibility to these hallucinations. Furthermore, we provide Perceive-Parse-Verify (PPV) as a training-free measurements extraction and verification baseline that converts candidate instructions into executable measurement queries and supplies kinematic measurements at inference time. Our results show that this simple measurements injection yields an average 10.6% performance gain across models, suggesting that motion reasoning with explicit quantitative measurements is a key factor in reducing hallucinations in cross-video comparison. Our code and dataset will be made publicly available upon acceptance.

• Thinking Hallucination for Video Captioning [0.76146285961466]
  In video captioning, there are two kinds of hallucination: object and action hallucination. We identify three main factors: (i) inadequate visual features extracted from pre-trained models, (ii) improper influences of source and target contexts during multi-modal fusion, and (iii) exposure bias in the training strategy. Our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on the MSR-Video to Text (MSR-VTT) and the Microsoft Research Video Description Corpus (MSVD) datasets.
