MVBench Temporal-Conflict Subset
A curated 75-sample subset of OpenGVLab/MVBench selected for a controlled temporal-conflict benchmark on vision-language models.
The full design and motivation are described in the parent project proposal (Temporal Conflict Resolution in Vision-Language Models). In short: each video here was chosen because its question + wrong-option distractors map directly onto a visually-realizable mid-clip edit — recolor, resize, swap, multiplication, or existence-flip — so that the wrong candidate becomes a valid edit target. The benchmark then probes how a VLM arbitrates between the original and the edited state when answering the original MVBench question.
Composition
| Split | Source | n | Conflict mechanism |
|---|---|---|---|
moving_attribute |
CLEVRER (synthetic) | 15 | Recolor / reshape / re-material the target object mid-clip toward a wrong-option distractor |
moving_count |
CLEVRER (synthetic) | 15 | Clone or remove objects mid-clip to shift count toward a wrong-option distractor |
object_existence |
CLEVRER (synthetic) | 15 | Add or remove the queried object class mid-clip to flip yes ↔ no |
moving_direction |
CLEVRER (synthetic) | 15 | Recolor / reshape the named referent mid-clip; original direction question now has two candidate referents |
object_interaction |
Charades / STAR (real) | 15 | Real-world object swap inside the action window — replace the held object with a wrong-option distractor |
Total: 75 samples, 75 unique videos, ~98 MB.
Selection criteria
Sampling was uniform random (seed 42) from each MVBench JSON, oversampling to 30 candidates per split. Each candidate was then manually verified by a per-split agent against the following editability test:
- Atomic distractors. The wrong-option candidates must be visually-realizable as a single attribute edit, not narrative descriptions.
- Referent specificity. The question must name a single, isolatable object (or class) so the edit lands cleanly.
- QA invariance. The edit must not break the question's logical pre-conditions (e.g., for
moving_count, exclude collision-counting questions where cloning would create unscheduled collisions). - Editability of the swap target. For
object_interaction, every candidate must be a hand-sized, portable object — answers that are furniture (table,bed,closet,refrigerator) were dropped because such swaps are not coherent for current real-world video edit models.
Candidates that failed were replaced from the reserve until 15 valid samples were collected per split. The editability_notes field on every row records the recommended edit type for that sample.
Files
data/metadata.parquet— the canonical 75-row table (loadable withdatasets.load_dataset).metadata.json— same data as JSON for non-parquet workflows.videos/*.mp4— 75 video files, named with the original MVBench filename so they can be cross-referenced against OpenGVLab/MVBench.
