Each Judge Its Own Yardstick: Discovering Per-VLM Taxonomies for Physical Video EvaluationYu Cao, Ziquan Liu, Zhensong Zhang et al.
Maintaining physical consistency in video generators and world models increasingly relies on vision-language models (VLMs) as automated judges that provide reward signals, ranking decisions, and data-filtering criteria. Yet VLMs differ substantially in training data and architecture, encoding physical phenomena through distinct internal representations. A single global evaluation schema therefore gives every VLM the same axes of competence, regardless of what each can actually perceive. We propose JudgeFit, an iterative refinement procedure that discovers a per-VLM evaluation taxonomy. An initial taxonomy is constructed by prompting the target VLM to enumerate physics errors on a small set of videos and clustering the resulting descriptions. The taxonomy is then refined through a diagnostic step: we calibrate the VLM's per-dimension scores to human physical-commonsense ratings, diagnose which dimensions it scores unreliably or redundantly, and prompt an LLM to repair them, iterating until convergence. We further instantiate this procedure as a benchmark and apply it to 16 VLMs spanning eight model families. The refined taxonomy outperforms the global-schema baseline on held-out videos for every VLM tested, with a mean relative improvement of approximately 32%. Beyond aggregate accuracy, the per-VLM profiles expose model-specific blind spots that overall rankings cannot anticipate, with reliability patterns differing markedly across model families.

TriMotion: Modality-Agnostic Camera Control for Video GenerationSeunghyun Shin, Jifei Song, Wooseok Jeon et al.
Camera motion control is essential for directing viewpoint changes in generative systems. However, existing methods typically condition the generation process on a single specific modality, such as explicit pose trajectories or reference videos, limiting their ability to support heterogeneous user inputs. To address this limitation, we present TriMotion, a modality-agnostic framework for camera-controlled video generation that maps video, pose, and text inputs, describing the same camera trajectory into a shared motion embedding space. Learning such a space requires synchronized supervision across modalities. Therefore, we build the Motion Triplet Dataset by extending a Multi-Cam Video Dataset with geometry-grounded motion descriptions derived from camera extrinsics. We further introduce a latent motion consistency objective that leverages the motion embedding space to encourage the generated video to follow the target camera trajectory directly in latent space, avoiding the cost of pixel-space decoding. Extensive experiments show that TriMotion generates high-quality videos that accurately follow the target camera trajectories across all three modalities. Beyond standard generation, the shared motion embedding space also enables flexible applications such as sequential motion composition and cross-modal motion interpolation.
