Parallelized Autoregressive Decoding for Omni-Modal Dense Video Captioning
Summary
This paper introduces PadCaptioner, a 3B parameter model for omni-modal dense video captioning that uses parallelized autoregressive decoding to achieve high efficiency and quality, outperforming 7B counterparts. A latent planning mechanism enables lossless parallel generation by exploiting weak local dependencies among events.

Source: https://huggingface.co/papers/2607.02963 We propose PadCaptioner, a 3B model for omni-modal dense video captioning that achieves high efficiency and strong grounded caption quality, outperforming 7B counterparts.
The core idea is to exploit the weak local dependencies among temporally distinct events and restructure the causal token dependency, enabling lossless parallel generation.
We design a latent planning mechanism that automatically determines parallelizable units with non-local awareness, guiding subsequent parallel decoding and improving event grounding and caption quality.
Code will be released athttps://github.com/showlab/PadCaptioner. Please give us a ⭐ to stay updated!
