The exponential growth of video content necessitates effective video summarization to efficiently extract key information from long videos. However, current approaches struggle to fully comprehend complex videos, primarily because they employ static or modality-agnostic fusion strategies. These methods fail to account for the dynamic, frame-dependent variations in modality saliency inherent in video data. To overcome these limitations, we propose TripleSumm, a novel architecture that adaptively weights and fuses the contributions of visual, text, and audio modalities at the frame level. Furthermore, a significant bottleneck for research into multimodal video summarization has been the lack of comprehensive benchmarks. Addressing this bottleneck, we introduce MoSu (Most Replayed Multimodal Video Summarization), the first large-scale benchmark that provides all three modalities. Extensive experiments demonstrate that TripleSumm achieves state-of-the-art performance, outperforming existing methods by a significant margin on four benchmarks, including MoSu. Our code and dataset are available at https://github.com/smkim37/TripleSumm.

Human motion is inherently continuous and dynamic, posing significant challenges for generative models. While discrete generation methods are widely used, they suffer from limited expressiveness and frame-wise noise artifacts. In contrast, continuous approaches produce smoother, more natural motion but often struggle to adhere to conditioning signals due to high-dimensional complexity and limited training data. To resolve this 'discord' between discrete and continuous representations we introduce DisCoRD: Discrete Tokens to Continuous Motion via Rectified Flow Decoding, a novel method that leverages rectified flow to decode discrete motion tokens in the continuous, raw motion space. Our core idea is to frame token decoding as a conditional generation task, ensuring that DisCoRD captures fine-grained dynamics and achieves smoother, more natural motions. Compatible with any discrete-based framework, our method enhances naturalness without compromising faithfulness to the conditioning signals on diverse settings. Extensive evaluations demonstrate that DisCoRD achieves state-of-the-art performance, with FID of 0.032 on HumanML3D and 0.169 on KIT-ML. These results establish DisCoRD as a robust solution for bridging the divide between discrete efficiency and continuous realism. Project website: https://whwjdqls.github.io/discord-motion/
