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).
By Yeeun Choi, Youngbeom Yoo, Joon-Young Lee, Hyolim Kang, Seon Joo Kim
Recent advancements in chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning have shown promise in enhancing video understanding and reasoning capabilities of multimodal large language models (MLLMs). However, existing CoT-based MLLMs require labor-intensive CoT annotations and incur substantial training and inference overhead.
