HAVEN: Hierarchically Aligned Multimodal Benchmark for Unified Video Understanding
While Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) exhibit strong performance on standard video tasks, their ability to faithfully summarize and reason over complex narratives remains poorly evaluated. Existing summarization benchmarks fragment supervision across isolated granularities, such as keyframes, key shots, or disjointed text summaries, failing to capture the inherently hierarchical structure of cross-modal alignment. To address this critical gap, we introduce HAVEN, a hierarchically aligned multimodal benchmark for unified video understanding. HAVEN pioneers a fully granular (frame, shot, and video levels) and fully multimodal (video and text) dataset architecture, complete with explicit, continuous alignment between modalities. Built upon this unified annotation paradigm, we propose a comprehensive evaluation suite spanning summarization, temporal reasoning, multimodal grounding, and saliency ranking. Extensive benchmarking of state-of-the-art MLLMs exposes a persistent gap between surface-level textual fluency and grounded multimodal understanding. Ultimately, HAVEN advances the evaluation of multimodal systems beyond traditional QA formats, offering a rigorous, standardized testbed to drive future research in interpretable, hierarchical video understanding. We publicly release the dataset, benchmark suite, and evaluation protocols.
