The Video Browser Showdown (VBS) challenges systems to deliver accurate results under strict time constraints. To meet this demand, we present Fusionista2.0, a streamlined video retrieval system optimized for speed and usability. All core modules were re-engineered for efficiency: preprocessing now relies on ffmpeg for fast keyframe extraction, optical character recognition uses Vintern-1B-v3.5 for robust multilingual text recognition, and automatic speech recognition employs faster-whisper for real-time transcription. For question answering, lightweight vision-language models provide quick responses without the heavy cost of large models. Beyond these technical upgrades, Fusionista2.0 introduces a redesigned user interface with improved responsiveness, accessibility, and workflow efficiency, enabling even non-expert users to retrieve relevant content rapidly. Evaluations demonstrate that retrieval time was reduced by up to 75% while accuracy and user satisfaction both increased, confirming Fusionista2.0 as a competitive and user-friendly system for large-scale video search.

In this paper, we propose a Hierarchical Transformer model for Vietnamese spelling correction problem. The model consists of multiple Transformer encoders and utilizes both character-level and word-level to detect errors and make corrections. In addition, to facilitate future work in Vietnamese spelling correction tasks, we propose a realistic dataset collected from real-life texts for the problem. We compare our method with other methods and publicly available systems. The proposed method outperforms all of the contemporary methods in terms of recall, precision, and f1-score. A demo version is publicly available.
