arXiv:2601. 07761v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) face a fundamental dilemma in video reasoning: they are caught between the prohibitive computational costs of verbose reasoning and the hallucination risks of efficient, ungrounded approaches.
arXiv:2607. 08763v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reasoning has become a core capability for large models, especially when reliable decisions require understanding logical consequences.
The paper introduces the Very Big Video Reasoning (VBVR) Dataset, a large-scale collection of over one million video clips organized into 200 curated reasoning tasks. It also presents VBVR-Bench, a benchmark framework that uses rule-based, human-aligned scorers for reproducible evaluation of video reasoning models. The authors conduct a large-scale scaling study, noting early signs of emergent generalization to unseen reasoning tasks, and make all resources publicly available.
arXiv:2608. 15869v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal large language models increasingly use visual chain-of-thought (Visual CoT) to reason about spatial, temporal, and embodied environments.
arXiv:2509. 09151v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Research in video understanding has advanced rapidly, driven by increasingly diverse datasets and more powerful model architectures.
arXiv:2609.40129v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reasoning through video generation offers a promising path toward visual intelligence by modeling latent visual states and their dynamics. However, cur...
arXiv:2608. 16316v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) for video reasoning have long been hindered by the high computational cost of processing vast amounts of visual information.
The paper introduces LatentStream, a progressive latent working memory framework for streaming video understanding. It replaces the traditional store‑and‑retrieve approach with a retrieve‑and‑internalize strategy, organizing visual history into short, mid, and long‑term levels and progressively expanding memory receptive fields to internalize evidence into a compact latent memory. The method also employs confidence‑guided optimization to refine memory tokens, achieving state‑of‑the‑art results on online and offline video benchmarks.
arXiv:2606. 07433v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Video understanding is being rapidly transformed by multimodal large language models (MLLMs), as research moves from short clips to long, multimodal, and knowledge-intensive video scenarios.
The paper introduces LatentStream, a progressive latent working memory framework for streaming video understanding that replaces the traditional store‑and‑retrieve paradigm with a retrieve‑and‑internalize approach. It organizes visual history into short, mid, and long‑term levels using Jenks‑guided adaptive consolidation, then expands memory receptive fields to iteratively retrieve and internalize evidence into a compact latent memory. A confidence‑guided optimization further refines this memory, leading to state‑of‑the‑art performance on online and offline video benchmarks.
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.
