Revolutionizing Fact Verification in Procedural Video Understanding
This paper introduces DualFact, a multimodal fact verification framework designed for procedural video understanding. It addresses limitations of existing metrics by separating factual correctness into conceptual and contextual layers, incorporating implicit argument augmentation, and using contrastive fact sets for robust evaluation.
Key Metrics & Impact
DualFact significantly improves factuality assessment for procedural video captions by offering a dual-layer fact representation and a fact verification pipeline using NLI models. It reveals systematic omissions and role-level inconsistencies in state-of-the-art multimodal LLMs, providing deeper diagnostic insights than traditional metrics.

DualFact employs a dual-layer fact structure, distinguishing between conceptual facts (abstract roles) and contextual facts (grounded predicate-argument relations). This allows for fine-grained error analysis, identifying hallucinations, salience errors, and omissions.

Two new benchmarks, YouCook3-Fact and CraftBench-Fact, are introduced. These datasets feature clause-level segmentation, implicit argument augmentation, and structured fact annotations at both conceptual and contextual levels, facilitating comprehensive evaluation of procedural understanding.

DualFact reveals that state-of-the-art LLMs produce fluent but often incomplete or inconsistent captions. It correlates more strongly with human judgments than standard metrics, especially for contextual facts, and highlights that caption-only evaluation overestimates hallucinations compared to video-grounded verification.
LLM Performance Insights
Analysis using DualFact shows that multimodal LLMs, while capable of generating fluent captions, frequently struggle with factual grounding. Specifically, a significant portion of identified 'hallucinations' in caption-only evaluation are reclassified as 'saliency errors' under video-grounded assessment, indicating the presence of visually plausible but task-irrelevant mentions. This underscores the importance of a robust, video-grounded verification framework.
