MM-Ego: Towards Building Egocentric Multimodal LLMs Apple Machine Learning Research

​This research aims to comprehensively explore building a multimodal foundation model for egocentric video understanding. To achieve this goal, we work on three fronts. First, as there is a lack of QA data for egocentric video understanding, we automatically generate 7M high-quality QA samples for egocentric videos ranging from 30 seconds to one hour long in Ego4D based on human-annotated data. This is one of the largest egocentric QA datasets. Second, we contribute a challenging egocentric QA benchmark with 629 videos and 7,026 questions to evaluate the models’ ability in recognizing and… This research aims to comprehensively explore building a multimodal foundation model for egocentric video understanding.
