Original captions, cross-model revisions, and evidence

SALMONN and MiniCPM each describe 50 AI-labelled and 50 comparison videos. Then each model revises the other model’s caption while inspecting the video and soundtrack again. Compare all four variants, their Gemini 3.8 Flash ratings, and their measured processing times.

Every analysis covers the first 30 seconds or less. Generated and revised captions can contain mistakes; Gemini ratings are automated judgments, not human ground truth. Retrieved captions describe other source videos. The comparison cohort has dataset AI flag zero and has not been independently verified as human-created.

Did revision improve each original caption?

Paired changes compare the revision with its own original on the same videos. A positive delta indicates a higher automated score; worse revisions are retained.
