CoVisco compresses long videos inside the vision encoder

Segmented attention and learned summary tokens let the encoder process long videos while presenting downstream models with a compact, adjustable visual interface.

Liu and colleagues introduce CoVisco, a unified image and video encoder designed to avoid both dense attention across every frame and post-hoc token compression.

The authors divide videos into temporal segments and assign each segment learnable abstract tokens that summarize its content.
