EgoMemReason: A Memory-Driven Reasoning Benchmark for Long-Horizon Egocentric Video Understanding

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.

EventMemAgent: Hierarchical Event-Centric Memory for Online Video Understanding with Adaptive Tool Use

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.

LiveStarPro: Proactive Streaming Video Understanding with Hierarchical Memory for Long-Horizon Streams

arXiv:2606. 17798v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Despite the remarkable progress of Video Large Language Models (Video-LLMs), current online architectures still struggle to simultaneously process continuous video streams, decide autonomously when to respond, and preserve long-horizon contextual memory.

ICM-Bench: Person-Level Identity Reasoning in Multimodal Agents with Long-Term Memory

ICM-Bench is a new benchmark for evaluating identity-centric reasoning in multimodal agents with long-term memory. It consists of 839 synthetic video clips totaling 141 minutes and 1,217 open-ended questions about six recurring adults in a one-year life album. The benchmark isolates the ability to maintain recurring person identities and reason over their cross-time relations, and compares various baseline systems, showing that while Gemini 3.1 Pro performs well overall, its accuracy drops on questions requiring long-term identity profiles.
