arXiv:2607. 02588v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal large language models excel on short clips but struggle on hour-long videos in an online setting, where frames are processed incrementally under limited memory.
arXiv:2606. 07512v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current Vision-Language Models struggle with hours-long videos because processing full-length visual sequences induces prohibitive token explosion and attention dilution.
arXiv:2608.31005v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing long-video agents acquire evidence through one uniform behavior, ignoring whether the required evidence is concentrated, requires broad occurr...
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.
EventMemAgent is an active online video agent that uses a hierarchical memory module to handle continuous perception and long‑range reasoning in streaming video. The framework employs a short‑term memory layer to detect event boundaries and sample frames within a fixed buffer, while a long‑term memory layer archives observations event‑by‑event. It also incorporates a multi‑granular perception toolkit and Agentic Reinforcement Learning to internalize reasoning and tool‑use strategies, achieving competitive results on online video benchmarks.
arXiv:2608. 14015v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Understanding tens-of-minutes surgical videos requires long-horizon temporal reasoning, answering what happens before, after, or across stages of a procedure by grounding the question in visual evidence spread across time.
EgoMemReason is a new benchmark for week‑long egocentric video understanding that focuses on memory‑driven reasoning rather than simple perception tasks. It tests three memory types—entity, event, and behavior—across 500 questions, each requiring evidence from an average of 5.1 video segments and 25.9 hours of backtracking. Evaluation of 17 models shows that even the best achieves only 39.6% accuracy, highlighting the difficulty of long‑horizon memory in multimodal systems.
Long-form video understanding requires locating sparse, question-relevant evidence in long, multimodal videos. Real-world video distributions differ in modality-specific information density, content structure, and evidence patterns, causing fixed video-agent designs to incur redundant processing or fail when mismatched.
VideoWeaver is an agent harness and benchmark for long‑video generation that evaluates and evolves reusable skills. It allows an agent to dynamically compose foundation skills into a workflow based on a single high‑level instruction, rather than following a static pipeline. The benchmark includes 16 task categories and 285 cases with multimodal references, and an evidence‑grounded agent‑as‑judge inspects execution traces and final videos to guide skill evolution, improving both process and output quality.
