+ # SpookyBench: A Benchmark for Purely Temporal Video Understanding
34
+
35
+ SpookyBench is a novel benchmark dataset designed to evaluate the ability of video-language models (VLMs) to understand purely temporal patterns, independent of spatial cues. The dataset consists of 451 videos across four categories: Text, Object Images, Dynamic Scenes, and Shapes. Each video appears as random noise in individual frames, but reveals meaningful content (words, objects, etc.) when viewed as a temporal sequence. This design exposes a critical limitation in current VLMs, which often heavily rely on spatial information and struggle to extract meaning from purely temporal sequences.

+ The dataset contains 451 videos distributed as follows:

+
43
+ | **Category** | **Total Videos** | **Description** |
44
+ |-------------|-----------------|----------------|
45
+ | **Text** | 210 (46.6%) | English words encoded through temporal noise patterns |
46
+ | **Object Images** | 156 (34.6%) | Single objects encoded using temporal animation |
47
+ | **Dynamic Scenes** | 57 (12.6%) | Video depth maps with temporal motion patterns |
48
+ | **Shapes** | 28 (6.2%) | Geometric patterns encoded through temporal sequences |
49
+ | **Total** | **451** | **Comprehensive temporal understanding evaluation** |
