This research systematically explores visual context representation in Video MLLMs to optimize performance within fixed context window sizes. The study demonstrates that prioritizing more frames, especially with temporal compression, is generally more effective than increasing embedding density per frame, leading to improved understanding of long videos.
Key insights
- Compression-based methods for visual embeddings are more effective than sampling, leading to better performance and steeper loss reduction.
- Increasing the number of frames is generally more beneficial for improving Video MLLM performance than increasing the number of embeddings per frame, particularly for tasks requiring long temporal context.
- The performance loss from reducing embeddings per frame can be effectively compensated, or even surpassed, by increasing the number of frames, especially with temporal compression techniques.
