Large-scale video-language pretraining enables strong generalization across multimodal tasks but often incurs prohibitive computational costs. Although recent advances in masked visual modeling help mitigate this issue, they still suffer from two fundamental limitations: severe visual information loss under high masking ratios and temporal information leakage caused by inter-frame correlations. To address these challenges, we propose ClusterSTM, a Cluster-Wise Spatio-Temporal Masking strategy for efficient video-language pretraining. ClusterSTM first performs intra-frame clustering to partition visual tokens into multiple semantically independent clusters, then conducts cluster-wise masking by retaining the token with the highest temporal density within each cluster. Our masking strategy ensure that the retained tokens capture holistic video content while exhibit strong temporal correlation. Additionally, we introduce a video-text relevance reconstruction objective that aligns high-level multimodal semantics beyond conventional visual reconstruction. Extensive experiments across multiple benchmarks demonstrate that ClusterSTM achieves superior performance on video-text retrieval, video question answering, and video captioning tasks, establishing a new state-of-the-art among efficient video-language models.

Continual Test-Time Adaptation (CTTA) aims to empower perception systems to handle dynamic distribution shifts encountered after deployment. Existing methods predominantly follow a backward-alignment paradigm, which rigidly aligns incoming data with supervisory surrogates derived from the source domain. Consequently, they struggle with unreliable supervision and evolving distribution shifts. To overcome these limitations, we introduce a novel forward-facilitation paradigm through a method termed Dynamic Style Bridging. Prior to deployment, we construct a compact knowledge base of generated class exemplars. During test time, to mitigate inherent generative bias and adapt these proxies to incoming data, we propose a multi-level bridging mechanism. This mechanism dynamically injects the proxies with incoming data styles at the input, statistical, and representation levels, while preserving the original semantics of the proxies. These high-fidelity proxies are then used to provide reliable, on-demand supervisory signals, enabling stable adaptation under continual shifts. Extensive experiments across standard CTTA benchmarks demonstrate that our method achieves consistent and substantial improvements over recent state-of-the-art approaches.
