Researchers have developed ClimateVID, a new dataset and methodology for analyzing social media videos related to climate change. The study evaluated the zero-shot capabilities of various vision-language models (VLMs) like VideoChatGPT, PandaGPT, and VideoLLava, finding they currently struggle to detect climate-specific classes. However, unsupervised clustering techniques using image embedding models such as ConvNeXt V2 and DINOv2 successfully identified meaningful visual patterns within the video data. AI
