Abstract

The paper discusses the phenomenon of Distributed Implicit Harm (DIH) in video moderation using MLLMs, highlighting the challenges in detecting harm that arises from the composition of benign components.

Reality Card

Core Claim

The study reveals that existing MLLMs consistently fail to detect Distributed Implicit Harm (DIH) in videos, despite being able to assess individual components correctly.

Method / Result

Developed a dataset of over 9,000 videos to benchmark MLLMs on their ability to detect DIH.

Limitations

The dataset lacks compositional harm annotations and is difficult to collect due to the nature of DIH.
