Parametric Test-time Scaling Law Comparison
The study reveals a novel saturation-based scaling law that accurately predicts vision-text alignment based on the number of video frames (nf) and text captions (nc). This comparison highlights key differences in how models leverage visual and textual data.
| Parameter | VideoMAEv2 | DINOv2 (Image Model) |
|---|---|---|
| Saturation Score (S∞) | ~0.41 | ~0.37 |
| Frame Error Coeff. (Cf) | 0.15 | 0.05 (3x lower) |
| Caption Error Coeff. (Cc) | 0.13 | 0.13 | Frame Scaling Exp. (α) | 0.75 | 1.76 (Faster saturation for static models) |
| Caption Scaling Exp. (β) | 1.30 | 1.40 |
| R² (Predictive Power) | 0.9791 | 0.9964 |
Alignment as a Zero-Shot Performance Predictor
Our analysis reveals a significant correlation between a video model's cross-modal alignment with text and its performance on various downstream vision tasks, even for models trained without explicit text supervision. This finding suggests that video-text alignment can serve as a powerful zero-shot metric, reducing the need for expensive task-specific training. For instance, strong positive correlations were found with semantic tasks like action classification on SSv2 and Kinetics, and also with non-semantic perception tasks such as camera pose estimation and object tracking. Point tracking was a notable exception, likely due to its highly localized nature. This capability transforms alignment into a practical tool for guiding video model development.
Capturing the Flow of Time in Video
A critical aspect of video understanding is the ability to capture temporal relationships. Our study shows that while language models often process text in a more bag-of-words fashion at shallower layers, video embeddings themselves exhibit sensitivity to the temporal ordering of events. On the synthetic Test of Time dataset, we observed differing k-NN alignments when temporal order was perturbed. Furthermore, using the VideoComp dataset, we found that alignment scores significantly dropped when comparing a video to a temporally reordered negative caption. This drop was more pronounced in models with higher overall alignment, indicating that these models are indeed learning more sophisticated temporally-aware structures. Notably, native video models like VideoMAEv2 demonstrate a superior capacity to leverage temporal information from multiple frames compared to image-based models (DINOv2), as evidenced by their significantly higher frame error coefficients in our scaling laws. There is still considerable room for improvement in achieving robust temporal understanding.
