AVSCap: Orchestrating Audio-Visual Synergy for Omni-modal Video Captioning
Omni-modal video captioning is not merely combining visual captioning with audio transcription: a useful caption must describe how visual actions, speech, music, and sound effects co-evolve. Existing large multimodal models often fail at this relational step, treating audio and visual streams as loosely coupled observations, relying on automatic speech recognition, and under-specifying non-speech sounds and their links to visual events. We present AVSCap, a framework for audio-visual captioning centered on explicit cross-modal event binding. First, we construct AVSCap-130K, a tri-modal trainin
Who Grades the Grader? Co-Evolving Evaluation Metrics and Skills for Self-Improving LLM Agents
Self-evolving agent systems improve by creating, revising, and retiring their own skills, but every such loop rests on a hidden assumption: a reliable evaluation metric already exists. In many real applications it does not. We make three claims. First, metrics can be \emph{evolved}: our metric loop searches compositions of small drawback detectors under a full evolutionary lifecycle, trained to agree with a ten-item anchored reference set, regularized by consensus over unlabeled outputs, and audited against a held-out anchor it never reads, yielding a transparent, inspectable metric rather tha
