Aligning visual features with language embeddings is a key challenge in vision-language models (VLMs). The performance of such models hinges on having a good connector that maps visual features generated by a vision encoder to a shared…
We present \emph{Video-in-the-Loop} (ViTL), a two-stage long-video QA framework that preserves a fixed token budget by first \emph{localizing} question-relevant interval(s) with a low-fps skim and then \emph{answering} via span-aware…
We study the problem of aligning a video that captures a local portion of an environment to the 2D LiDAR scan of the entire environment. We introduce a method (VioLA) that starts with building a semantic map of the local scene from the…
