arXiv:2510. 09608v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) could power real-time assistants and autonomous agents, but they face a critical challenge: understanding near-infinite video streams without escalating latency and memory usage.
arXiv:2607. 24794v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) demonstrate superior generalization in fundamental video tasks, restricted context windows limit their long video understanding.
arXiv:2607. 25266v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have enabled long-form video understanding at a scale that was not previously possible.
arXiv:2504. 01407v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Long video understanding poses a fundamental challenge for large video-language models (LVLMs) due to the overwhelming number of frames and the risk of losing essential context through naive downsampling.

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.
Text-Video Retrieval (TVR) retrieves videos that match a natural-language query, but extending image-text models such as CLIP to videos is fundamentally limited by the lack of temporal modeling. Video...
The paper introduces STITCH, a training‑free method that partitions videos into semantically meaningful temporal chunks using a frozen video‑text backbone. By detecting changes in the embedding sequence of short video windows, STITCH produces reusable temporal abstractions that can be applied to multiple tasks such as event boundary detection, language‑based moment retrieval, and frame selection for vision‑language models. Experiments show that STITCH performs competitively with specialized methods while requiring no task‑specific training, especially when processing is limited to a few frames or tokens.
