arXiv:2504. 01407v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Long video understanding poses a fundamental challenge for large video-language models (LVLMs) due to the overwhelming number of frames and the risk of losing essential context through naive downsampling.
arXiv:2607. 24794v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) demonstrate superior generalization in fundamental video tasks, restricted context windows limit their long video understanding.
arXiv:2608. 07663v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: When videos extend from hours to days, directly processing them end-to-end becomes impractical for current Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs).
Long-video understanding remains challenging for multimodal large language models, because temporally extended videos often contain thousands of frames and are therefore expensive to process exhaustively. Existing methods usually construct compact visual inputs from long videos under a limited visual budget.
arXiv:2606. 12300v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Temporal grounding--returning the interval $[t_s, t_e]$ for a natural-language query over a video--is the language interface to long-form video, yet has been studied on short videos; the dynamics of hour-scale natural-language grounding remain underexplored.
arXiv:2606. 29445v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Video understanding is a fundamental capability for multimodal intelligence, and recent Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable performance on Video Question Answering (VideoQA) benchmarks.
arXiv:2607. 09876v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automatically retrieving videos from large camera-trap datasets remains challenging.
arXiv:2512. 05774v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Long video understanding (LVU) is challenging because answering real-world queries often depends on sparse, temporally dispersed cues buried in hours of mostly redundant and irrelevant content.
arXiv:2607. 13421v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Spatio-Temporal Video Grounding (STVG) aims to retrieve the visual trajectory of a specific object from a video stream as described by a natural language expression.
arXiv:2607. 25266v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have enabled long-form video understanding at a scale that was not previously possible.
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.
arXiv:2510. 09608v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) could power real-time assistants and autonomous agents, but they face a critical challenge: understanding near-infinite video streams without escalating latency and memory usage.
arXiv:2607. 01086v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The evaluation of long-term video quality understanding remains an open challenge for large vision-language models (LVLMs).
