Parallelized Autoregressive Decoding for Omni-Modal Dense Video Captioning

arXiv:2607.02963v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Dense video captioning aims to generate temporally grounded descriptions of video events, benefiting both event-level video understanding and generation. In this domain, autoregressive video large language models have emerged as a prevalent paradigm due to their strong generative and cross-modal modeling capacity. However, generating dense captions under the token-by-token paradigm severely limits inference efficiency and hinders scalability as video length and event density increase. In this work, we propose a parallelized autoregressive frame
