The authors introduce WOVEN, a training source and benchmark for visual transition reasoning, and show that training on it improves multimodal LLMs across many external benchmarks, even with small subsets.

The authors constructed WOVEN using video-pretrained generative models to create 36,076 examples spanning 20 scene types, 5 action types, and 8 reasoning types.
