Papers with time-sensitive tasks
MTPChat: A Multimodal Time-Aware Persona Dataset for Conversational Agents (2025.findings-naacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing time-aware datasets that focus on persona-grounded conversations focus on temporal dynamics, which narrows their scope and diminishes their complexity. |
| Approach: | They propose a multimodal, time-aware persona dialogue dataset that integrates linguistic, visual, and temporal elements within dialogue and persona memory. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework integrates linguistic, visual, and temporal elements within dialogue and persona memory to assess a model’s ability to understand implicit temporal cues and dynamic interactions. |
VideoLLM Knows When to Speak: Enhancing Time-Sensitive Video Comprehension with Video-Text Duet Interaction Format (2025.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent studies on video large language models focus on model architectures and training datasets . interaction format between user and model is unsatisfactory for time-sensitive tasks . |
| Approach: | They propose a video-text duet interaction format that allows for continuous playback of the video . when a text message ends, the video continues to play, similar to the alternative of two performers in a duet. |
| Outcome: | The proposed format improves performance on time-sensitive tasks with minimal training efforts. |

| Challenge: | Existing methods for MLLMs struggle with fine-grained temporal reasoning . despite advances in video understanding, current methods struggle with time-sensitive tasks . |
| Approach: | They propose a time-stamp-aware multi-segment grounding method that enhances temporal understanding by introducing timestamps. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms existing methods on time-sensitive tasks and generalizes well across diverse temporal understanding scenarios. |
