Slot-VLM: Object-Event Slots for Video-Language Modeling

Video-Language Models (VLMs), powered by the advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs), are charting new frontiers in video understanding. A pivotal challenge is the development of an effective method to encapsulate video content into a set of representative tokens to align with LLMs. In this work, we introduce Slot-VLM, a new framework designed to generate semantically decomposed video tokens, in terms of object-wise and event-wise visual representations, to facilitate LLM inference.
