The paper introduces Temporal Activation Injection (TAI), a post‑processing technique that reinforces temporal representations in Video Large Language Models (VideoLLMs) at inference time. By measuring the temporal divergence vector τ_l— the layer‑wise difference caused by reversing video frame order— the authors find that temporal information peaks at intermediate layers and fades toward the output. TAI injects the peak divergence back into later layers, improving temporal reasoning on three VideoLLMs across four benchmarks without affecting non‑temporal performance.

TimeBlind is a diagnostic benchmark designed to evaluate fine‑grained spatio‑temporal compositionality in video large language models (LLMs). It categorizes temporal understanding into three levels—atomic event recognition, event property characterization, and reasoning about event interdependencies—and uses a minimal‑pairs paradigm where video pairs share identical static content but differ only in temporal structure. Across 20 state‑of‑the‑art MLLMs tested on 600 curated instances, the best model achieved only 48.2% instance accuracy, far below human performance of 98.2%, highlighting a reliance on static visual shortcuts rather than true temporal reasoning.

STRAND is a new benchmark that tests multimodal large language models’ ability to track objects, their states, and relationships over time in videos. It evaluates intermediate reasoning by breaking queries into sub‑questions and uses Faithful Accuracy to ensure all parts of an answer are correct. The authors also propose an object‑centric framework that builds structured trajectories and shows reduced hallucinations and better temporal consistency compared to existing models.
