Parser-Free VLM Verification for Federated Weakly Supervised Video Anomaly Detection

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 7, 2026 · UTC

How can vision-language models help video anomaly detection (VAD) when surveillance data remain distributed, weakly labeled, and resource-constrained? Most weakly supervised VAD methods assume centralized training; recent VLM-based extensions further rely on dense inference, generated explanations, or additional adaptation. We introduce a lightweight federated MIL-VLM cascade in which only a compact MIL scorer is trained across clients, while a frozen VLM verifies high-scoring suspect segments post hoc. We study two VLM feedback interfaces: parsed text-generation decisions and a logit-based in
