Answering from Sure to Uncertain: Uncertainty-Aware Curriculum Learning for Video Question Answering

While significant advancements have been made in video question answering (VideoQA), the potential benefits of enhancing model generalization through tailored difficulty scheduling have been largely overlooked in existing research. This paper seeks to bridge that gap by incorporating VideoQA into a curriculum learning (CL) framework that progressively trains models from simpler to more complex data. Recognizing that conventional self-paced CL methods rely on training loss for difficulty measurement, which might not accurately reflect the intricacies of video-question pairs, we introduce the concept of uncertainty-aware CL. Here, uncertainty serves as the guiding principle for dynamically adjusting the difficulty. Furthermore, we address the challenge posed by uncertainty by presenting a probabilistic modeling approach for VideoQA. Specifically, we conceptualize VideoQA as a stochastic computation graph, where the hidden representations are treated as stochastic variables. This yields two distinct types of uncertainty: one related to the inherent uncertainty in the data and another pertaining to the model's confidence. In practice, we seamlessly integrate the VideoQA model into our framework and conduct comprehensive experiments. The findings affirm that our approach not only achieves enhanced performance but also effectively quantifies uncertainty in the context of VideoQA.

Lightning Unified Video Editing via In-Context Sparse Attention

Video editing has evolved toward In-Context Learning (ICL) paradigms, yet the resulting quadratic attention costs create a critical computational bottleneck. In this work, we propose In-context Sparse Attention (ISA), the first near-lossless empirical sparse framework tailored for ICL video editing. Our design is grounded in two key insights: first, context tokens exhibit significantly lower saliency than source tokens; second, we theoretically prove and empirically validate that Query sharpness correlates with approximation error. Motivated by these findings, ISA implements an efficient pre-selection strategy to prune redundant context, followed by a dynamic query grouping mechanism that routes high-error queries to full attention and low-error ones to a computationally efficient 0-th order Taylor sparse attention. Furthermore, we build \textbf{\texttt{LIVEditor}} , a novel lightning video editing model via ISA and a proposed video-editing data pipeline that curated a 1.7M high-quality dataset. Extensive experiments demonstrate that LIVEditor achieves a $\sim$60% reduction in attention-module latency while surpassing state-of-the-art methods across EditVerseBench, IVE-Bench, and VIE-Bench, delivering near-lossless acceleration without compromising visual fidelity.

Sports-QA: A Large-Scale Video Question Answering Benchmark for Complex and Professional Sports

Reasoning over sports videos for question answering is an important task with numerous applications, such as player training and information retrieval. However, this task has not been explored due to the lack of relevant datasets and the challenging nature it presents. Most datasets for video question answering (VideoQA) focus mainly on general and coarse-grained understanding of daily-life videos, which is not applicable to sports scenarios requiring professional action understanding and fine-grained motion analysis. In this paper, we introduce the first dataset, named Sports-QA, specifically designed for the sports VideoQA task. The Sports-QA dataset includes various types of questions, such as descriptions, chronologies, causalities, and counterfactual conditions, covering multiple sports. Furthermore, to address the characteristics of the sports VideoQA task, we propose a new Auto-Focus Transformer (AFT) capable of automatically focusing on particular scales of temporal information for question answering. We conduct extensive experiments on Sports-QA, including baseline studies and the evaluation of different methods. The results demonstrate that our AFT achieves state-of-the-art performance.

Doubly Deformable Aggregation of Covariance Matrices for Few-shot Segmentation

Training semantic segmentation models with few annotated samples has great potential in various real-world applications. For the few-shot segmentation task, the main challenge is how to accurately measure the semantic correspondence between the support and query samples with limited training data. To address this problem, we propose to aggregate the learnable covariance matrices with a deformable 4D Transformer to effectively predict the segmentation map. Specifically, in this work, we first devise a novel hard example mining mechanism to learn covariance kernels for the Gaussian process. The learned covariance kernel functions have great advantages over existing cosine similarity-based methods in correspondence measurement. Based on the learned covariance kernels, an efficient doubly deformable 4D Transformer module is designed to adaptively aggregate feature similarity maps into segmentation results. By combining these two designs, the proposed method can not only set new state-of-the-art performance on public benchmarks, but also converge extremely faster than existing methods. Experiments on three public datasets have demonstrated the effectiveness of our method.
