  • Temporal grounding of activities, the identification of specific time intervals of actions within a larger event context, is a critical task in video understanding. Recent advancements in multimodal large language models (LLMs) offer new opportunities for enhancing temporal reasoning capabilities. In this paper, we evaluate the effectiveness of combining image-based and text-based large language models (LLMs) in a two-stage approach for temporal activity localization. We demonstrate that our method outperforms existing video-based LLMs. Furthermore, we explore the impact of instruction-tuning on a smaller multimodal LLM, showing that refining its ability to process action queries leads to more expressive and informative outputs, thereby enhancing its performance in identifying specific time intervals of activities. Our experimental results on the Charades-STA dataset highlight the potential of this approach in advancing the field of temporal activity localization and video understanding.
