Researchers from Nankai University, ByteDance Inc., and Tsinghua University developed ASID-1M, a million-scale, attribute-structured, and quality-verified dataset of audiovisual instructions, alongside a progressive supervised fine-tuning scheme for video Multimodal Large Language Models. Their ASID-Captioner model, trained with this data, achieved state-of-the-art performance among open-source models and rivaled proprietary models on various fine-grained video understanding benchmarks.

Key insights

  • High-quality, attribute-structured, and rigorously verified data is crucial for advancing universal video understanding in MLLMs, surpassing limitations of data quantity alone.
  • A multi-stage, automated pipeline with systematic verification steps can effectively generate large-scale, fine-grained multimodal instruction data.
  • Progressive supervised fine-tuning, starting with attribute-wise learning and extending to longer contexts, significantly enhances MLLM capabilities for fine-grained perception and instruction following.
