The field of multimodal video analysis and retrieval is rapidly evolving, with a focus on improving efficiency, accuracy, and scalability. Researchers are exploring innovative approaches to optimize video analytics, such as intelligent routing systems, efficient complex object query methods, and prompt-aware frame sampling strategies. These advancements aim to reduce computational overhead, improve query accuracy, and enhance the overall user experience. Notably, the integration of large language models (LLMs) and multimodal learning techniques is gaining traction, enabling more effective content moderation, text-video retrieval, and partially relevant video retrieval.

Some papers are particularly noteworthy, including LOVO, which introduces an efficient system for complex object queries in large-scale video datasets, achieving near-optimal query accuracy and significantly reducing search latency. The Mangosteen corpus provides a high-quality, open-source dataset for Thai language model pretraining, demonstrating the importance of culturally nuanced and transparent data curation. The GREAT framework addresses the challenge of query recommendation in video-related search, leveraging a novel LLM-based approach to guide query generation and improve relevance.
