Two new research papers challenge the current direction of video anomaly detection (VAD). The first paper argues that the field's focus on general models and multi-modal large language models (MLLMs) has shifted focus away from scene-specific, context-dependent anomaly identification. The second paper introduces MMVIAD, a new dataset and benchmark for industrial VAD, and presents a model called VISTA that improves performance on multi-task evaluation, outperforming GPT-5.4. AI
