arXiv:2510. 01483v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) demonstrate strong image-level scene understanding, but reasoning over long egocentric video remains costly: because VLMs maintain no persistent memory or explicit spatial representation, all sampled frames must be re-processed for every new query.

Language-guided aerial perception aims to understand user-specified tiny targets in complex unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) scenes. In real UAV deployment, the UAV must respond while it flies, so such perception runs in an online streaming manner, where frames arrive sequentially and the model responds to each one without access to future frames.

The paper introduces inr2action, a memory framework that encodes entire robot episodes as fixed‑size neural implicit representations. Each episode’s video is fitted to a shared, meta‑learned initialization, producing a weight delta that serves as memory. This delta is projected into token embeddings to condition a language model for question answering and a decoder for command regression, enabling recall without retrieving individual frames.

The paper introduces Caption‑once, Frames‑on‑Demand (CFD), a budget‑aware edge‑cloud framework for long‑video understanding. CFD first runs a single offline captioning pass on the edge to build a dual‑track narrative index—an event‑level story skeleton and a clip‑level micro‑log—that is cached for future queries. At query time, a cloud‑side MLLM uses a Visual‑Need Router to decide whether to retrieve keyframes for perceptual questions, thereby limiting visual processing while preserving temporal structure in language space.

The paper introduces IG‑VLA, a vision‑language‑action framework that learns to imagine task‑relevant future scene evolution in a latent spatiotemporal space, guiding action prediction without generating full pixel‑level videos. It further compresses this future reasoning into a compact Scene Gist Token via Scene Gist Memory, enabling efficient inference. Experiments on LIBERO, LIBERO‑Plus, and VLABench show that IG‑VLA improves success rates by nearly 6% and speeds up inference up to 6.38× compared to strong baselines.
