Multimodal Neural Networks for Video: Trends from WACV 2026
WACV 2026 in Tucson showed where applied computer vision is heading: multimodality has become the norm, synthetic data is moving to the center of the pipeline, and model efficiency is increasingly achieved by means other than quantization alone. Two FusionBrain AIRI papers stood out: MaxInfo, which selects key frames in long videos, and Feature Inversion, which analyzes what vision encoders retain.
