Social Caption - Holistic Social Analysis: leaderboard

A multimodal model watches a one-minute Social-IQ 2.0 video at one frame per second, with a WhisperX transcript, and writes a structured description of its social interaction: setting and mood, the individuals, topic and relationships, and emotional and power dynamics; Social Caption (Mathur et al., 2026). Two human annotators rate each description on six 1-5 sub-dimensions grounded in the APRACE taxonomy, and the score is the summed mean rating out of 30 over a 50-video subset of the validation set; higher is better.

Metric: Human rating of a holistic description of the video's social interaction (sum of six 1-5 Likert sub-dimensions: scene description, individuals, topic and context, socio-emotional analysis, answer detail, prompt adherence; 6-30; mean of two annotators per video; Social-IQ 2.0 validation videos (one minute each), a 50-video subset matched to the full set; the model gets the video at 1 frame per second and a timestamped WhisperX transcript, default temperature).
