Shot-Aware Frame Sampling for Video Understanding

Published in arXiv preprint, 2026

This work introduces InfoShot, a task-agnostic frame sampler for efficient long-video understanding. It partitions videos into semantically consistent shots and selects complementary representative and high-deviation frames to retain both broad context and short-lived critical events.
