InfiniBench: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Large Multimodal Models in Very Long Video Understanding

원문 초록

Understanding long videos, ranging from tens of minutes to several hours, presents unique challenges in video comprehension. Despite the increasing importance of long-form video content, existing benchmarks primarily focus on shorter clips. To address this gap, we introduce InfiniBench a comprehensive benchmark for very long video understanding which presents 1)The longest video duration, averaging 52.59 minutes per video 2) The largest number of question-answer pairs, 108.2K 3) Diversity in questions that examine nine different skills and include both multiple-choice questions and open-ended questions 4) Human-centric, as the video sources come from movies and daily TV shows, with specific human-level question designs such as Movie Spoiler Questions that require critical thinking and comprehensive understanding. Using InfiniBench, we comprehensively evaluate existing Large Multi-Modality Models (LMMs) on each skill, including the commercial models such as GPT-4o and Gemini 1.5 Flash and the open-source models. The evaluation shows significant challenges in our benchmark. Our findings reveal that even leading AI models like GPT-4o and Gemini 1.5 Flash face challenges in achieving high performance in long video understanding, with average accuracies of just 49.16\% and 42.72\%, and average scores of 3.22 and 2.71 out of 5, respectively. We hope this benchmark will stimulate the LMMs community towards long video and human-level understanding. Our benchmark can be accessed at https://vision-cair.github.io/InfiniBench/
