Most keyframe selection studies focus on offline settings, assuming access to the full video and query in advance. In contrast, real-world streaming scenarios require online frame selection under unkn...
arXiv:2607. 00446v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As video corpora continue to expand in both scale and task complexity, there is increasing demand for approaches that retrieve relevant videos from large-scale corpora (inter-video reasoning) and subsequently perform fine-grained, query-conditioned tasks (intra-video reasoning) within the retrieved content, such as temporal grounding.

SVMemAgent introduces a streaming video memory (SVMem) that continuously updates a compact representation of observed frames for online keyframe selection without prior knowledge of video length, query, or future frames. The agent decides at each timestep whether to replace an existing memory frame with a new one or discard it, trained via Group Relative Policy Optimization using task-driven rewards from question-answer pairs. Experiments demonstrate that SVMemAgent outperforms existing online baselines and rivals offline methods, and its learned policy tends to favor frames containing textual information, potentially aiding downstream VideoQA tasks.

QREF is a plug‑and‑play system that improves DeepSearch agents by refining search queries to match the current reasoning intent and filtering evidence to keep only what is relevant. The Query Refiner rewrites queries for complementary coverage across each search batch, while the Evidence Filter removes distracting retrieval results. Experiments show that QREF boosts DeepSearch performance on four benchmarks, achieving significant Pass@1 gains and dramatically reducing ineffective query batches without changing the agents’ architectures or retraining their reasoning policies.
