Spatiotemporal Knowledge Graphs as Persistent Scene Memory for Embodied Question Answering

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.

WALL-WM: Carving World Action Modeling at the Event Joints

WALL-WM is a World Action Model that shifts video-action learning from chunk-centric optimization to event-grounded Vision-Language-Action pretraining, using semantically coherent action events as the atomic unit of learning. Existing WAMs commonly initialize from multimodal or video foundation models and then optimize fixed-length action chunks conditioned directly on the current observation and instruction.

Event-Causal RAG: A Retrieval-Augmented Generation Framework for Long Video Reasoning in Complex Scenarios

Event-Causal RAG (EC‑RAG) is a lightweight retrieval‑augmented framework designed for reasoning over ultra‑long and streaming videos. It segments video streams into semantically complete events using a dual visual‑audio sentinel mechanism, representing each event as a State‑Event‑State (SES) structure that captures pre‑event, event, and post‑event states. During question answering, bidirectional graph retrieval accesses relevant predecessor and successor events from a dual vector‑graph memory, and answers are generated using both this structured memory and the corresponding video evidence. The authors also introduce ECV‑1H, an hour‑scale long‑video QA benchmark with over 150 hours of untrimmed video and 1,251 human‑annotated QA pairs, where EC‑RAG achieves significant accuracy gains across multiple video foundation models while maintaining efficient streaming memory usage on a single RTX 5090 GPU.

ID-VTG: Image-Disambiguated Video Temporal Grounding

arXiv:2608. 20127v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Video Temporal Grounding (VTG) faces significant challenges when natural language queries must distinguish between multiple events involving visually similar entities, particularly when relying on fine-grained visual attributes that are difficult to describe accurately in words alone.
