Multimodal video misinformation detection is commonly formulated as a holistic video-understanding task, where the entire video and its associated content are processed and judged in a single pass. However, real-world misinformation often exhibits a sparse and compositional evidence structure: a reliable decision may depend on only a few coupled clues, while most video content contributes limited additional information.

PARSEE-VAD is a training‑free online video anomaly detection framework that separates semantic evidence acquisition from score‑state evolution. It uses Proposition‑Aware Reasoning to extract structured propositional evidence from the current causal window and selectively activates more specific queries, while Streaming Evidence Escalation maps this evidence into a compact score‑domain event state and propagates only the bounded state to maintain temporal continuity. Experiments on four benchmarks show strong performance with reduced specialist computation and sparse score‑state propagation, supporting a current‑first principle for streaming multimodal inference.

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have achieved strong progress in video understanding, yet it remains challenging because the token limitation makes MLLMs difficult to capture temporally sparse evidence. Existing methods typically rely on uniform sampling, or frame selection, but these strategies usually optimize either broad temporal coverage or local relevance, making it difficult to preserve both global storyline context and fine-grained evidence.
The paper introduces PACE, a factor-guided, progressive framework for acquiring evidence in long-video question answering. PACE first indexes clip-level descriptions using question-derived factors, then refines evidence retrieval with contrastive cues derived from candidate answers. On the MMR‑V dataset, PACE achieves 42.6% accuracy and recovers 66.9% of annotated cues, outperforming direct inference and prior agentic baselines, and shows consistent improvements across several long-video benchmarks.
