The pith

The position of a video in a multi-video input affects summary quality in MLLMs, with effects that vary by domain and model.

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The paper evaluates how the order of videos in multi-video inputs influences the quality of per-video summaries produced by MLLMs. It constructs a benchmark using ActivityNet and News videos across Cooking, Domestic, Leisure, and News settings with two- and four-video inputs. Nine open-source and proprietary models are tested using three metrics: Coverage, Directional Positional Bias, and Middle-Edge Gap. Results indicate that positional effects depend on the domain and model, that signed directional bias can remain small even when middle positions underperform, and that increasing visual or generation budget does not uniformly remove the imbalance. Prompt-level mitigation methods are also analyzed.

Core claim

Positional effects in multi-video summarization are domain- and model-dependent: signed directional bias can be small even when middle positions underperform, and increasing visual or generation budget does not uniformly remove the imbalance.

What carries the argument

Three complementary metrics—Coverage, Directional Positional Bias (DPB), and Middle-Edge Gap (MEG)—applied to a benchmark of two- and four-video inputs from ActivityNet and News videos to measure how input slot changes summary quality for unchanged content.

Load-bearing premise

The chosen ActivityNet and News video clips remain representative of real multi-video inputs and that the three metrics isolate positional bias without confounding effects from video length or content complexity.

What would settle it

An experiment that swaps video positions across identical content sets and checks whether measured differences in summary quality reverse or disappear for the tested models and domains.

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are increasingly used for video understanding, yet their reliability under multi-video inputs remains poorly understood. We study positional bias in multi-video summarization, where the quality of a per-video summary can change with the video's input slot even when the underlying content is unchanged. We construct a benchmark from ActivityNet and News videos, covering Cooking, Domestic, Leisure, and News settings with two- and four-video inputs. We evaluate nine open-source and proprietary MLLMs and measure position effects with three complementary metrics: Coverage, Directional Positional Bias (DPB), and Middle-Edge Gap (MEG). Our results show that positional effects are domain- and model-dependent: signed directional bias can be small even when middle positions underperform, and increasing visual or generation budget does not uniformly remove the imbalance. We further analyze prompt-level mitigation methods. Together, the results show that multi-video summarization remains sensitive to input protocol and position, motivating more robust order-invariant multimodal systems.

Referee Report

2 major / 1 minor

Summary. The manuscript presents a systematic empirical evaluation of positional bias in multi-video summarization tasks performed by nine open-source and proprietary MLLMs. Using a benchmark constructed from ActivityNet and News video clips across Cooking, Domestic, Leisure, and News domains, the authors examine two- and four-video inputs and quantify position effects via three metrics (Coverage, Directional Positional Bias (DPB), and Middle-Edge Gap (MEG)). The central claim is that positional effects are domain- and model-dependent, that signed directional bias can remain small even when middle positions underperform, and that increasing visual or generation budgets does not uniformly eliminate the imbalance; prompt-level mitigation strategies are also analyzed.

Significance. If the results hold after addressing methodological gaps, the work is significant as a timely measurement study that documents concrete limitations of current MLLMs when processing multiple videos—an increasingly common input regime. The domain- and model-specific patterns, together with the complementary metrics, supply practitioners with actionable diagnostics and motivate the development of order-invariant multimodal architectures. The purely empirical design avoids circularity and offers falsifiable observations that can be directly replicated or extended.

major comments (2)
  1. [Abstract] Abstract and Methods: The abstract states results on domain- and model-dependence but supplies no statistical tests, error bars, sample sizes, or exclusion criteria. Without these, it is impossible to judge whether the reported effects are robust or whether observed middle-position underperformance reflects sampling variability.
  2. [Evaluation Metrics] Evaluation setup and metric definitions: The central claim requires that Coverage, DPB, and MEG isolate positional bias after permuting identical video sets. If ActivityNet/News clips vary in duration or scene density and position assignment correlates with these properties, the observed imbalances could be driven by content rather than slot. The manuscript must explicitly describe length normalization, content-matched controls, or permutation protocols to rule out this confound.

  1. [Abstract] Abstract: Adding a parenthetical note on the total number of video clips or input instances used would help readers gauge the scale of the benchmark.

  1. Referee: [Abstract] Abstract and Methods: The abstract states results on domain- and model-dependence but supplies no statistical tests, error bars, sample sizes, or exclusion criteria. Without these, it is impossible to judge whether the reported effects are robust or whether observed middle-position underperformance reflects sampling variability.

    Authors: The abstract serves as a concise overview; full details on sample sizes (50 video sets per domain and input size, each evaluated over 5 random seeds), error bars (standard error in all figures/tables), and exclusion criteria (videos <10s or with transcription failures removed) appear in Section 3 and the appendix. We agree the abstract should signal robustness and will revise it to note 'results averaged over permutations with standard errors'. We will also add Wilcoxon signed-rank tests for position effects to the Methods section. revision: yes

  2. Referee: [Evaluation Metrics] Evaluation setup and metric definitions: The central claim requires that Coverage, DPB, and MEG isolate positional bias after permuting identical video sets. If ActivityNet/News clips vary in duration or scene density and position assignment correlates with these properties, the observed imbalances could be driven by content rather than slot. The manuscript must explicitly describe length normalization, content-matched controls, or permutation protocols to rule out this confound.

    Authors: The benchmark explicitly constructs sets from the same domain with comparable durations (clips selected within 20% length variance) and applies random permutations of video order for every trial, ensuring each video appears equally often in every position across the experiment. This isolates positional effects. We will add an expanded 'Benchmark Construction' paragraph detailing the exact permutation protocol, set-matching criteria, and confirmation that no post-hoc length normalization is applied beyond initial selection. revision: yes

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged

No circularity: purely empirical measurement study

full rationale

The paper constructs a benchmark from ActivityNet and News videos, evaluates nine MLLMs on two- and four-video inputs, and reports position effects via three metrics (Coverage, DPB, MEG). No equations, fitted parameters, uniqueness theorems, or self-citations appear in the derivation chain; all claims rest on direct experimental measurements rather than any reduction of outputs to inputs by construction. The central results (domain- and model-dependent positional effects) are therefore independent of the inputs and receive no circularity penalty.
