EventCoT: Event-centric Video Chain-of-thought for Reasoning Temporal Localization

arXiv:2607. 04872v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reasoning temporal localization (RTL) requires a model to generate an answer that itself contains the time interval supporting it, so high-level reasoning and precise temporal grounding must be produced jointly in a single response.

Incentivizing Vision Language Models to Search for Long Video Question Answering

arXiv:2607. 02959v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce VSeek, an agentic framework that transforms long-video question answering (LVQA) from a passive, single-pass perception task into a multi-turn retrieval process.

Beyond Frame Selection: Rethinking Long-Video Understanding with MLLMs

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have achieved strong progress in video understanding, yet it remains challenging because the token limitation makes MLLMs difficult to capture temporally sparse evidence. Existing methods typically rely on uniform sampling, or frame selection, but these strategies usually optimize either broad temporal coverage or local relevance, making it difficult to preserve both global storyline context and fine-grained evidence.
