    arXiv · 2026

    This work investigates the degradation of existing VMR methods, particularly of DETR architectures, when trained on caption-based queries but evaluated on search queries, and identifies a critical issue in these architectures -- an active decoder-query collapse -- as a primary cause of the poor generalization to multi-moment instances.
