The paper introduces Watch-Think-Interact (WTI), a closed-loop framework for multi-question streaming video reasoning that maintains compact natural-language memory entries linked to video time ranges. WTI decides whether to answer, continue watching, or recall relevant past intervals for each question, avoiding replay of the full history. The authors build a large dataset, WTI-82K, and a training method, Stream-GDPO, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance on StreamingBench and OVO-Bench.
The paper introduces MaLoW, a streaming memory framework that internalizes long‑term video history into evolving lightweight parameter updates using a recurrent HyperNetwork and LoRA weights. MaLoW keeps current observations as input while carrying historical context forward without re‑visiting the full video stream. The authors also present MaLoW‑Instruct, a large streaming video dataset, and show that MaLoW outperforms prior memory methods on several benchmarks and improves action success in a vision‑language‑action setting.
MemoryCard is a video-memory-based augmentation framework designed to improve long-video question answering for Vision‑Language Models. It segments lengthy videos into semantically coherent units—each representing a distinct topic or event—by performing a self‑reading process over the video and aligned utterances. For each unit, the framework generates an event‑level video gist and selects representative visual moments, which are compiled into unified Memory Cards that are used for retrieval and answering questions, yielding up to a 21.8% relative accuracy improvement under comparable visual‑token budgets.
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.
The paper introduces LatentStream, a progressive latent working memory framework for streaming video understanding that replaces the traditional store‑and‑retrieve paradigm with a retrieve‑and‑internalize approach. It organizes visual history into short, mid, and long‑term levels using Jenks‑guided adaptive consolidation, then expands memory receptive fields to iteratively retrieve and internalize evidence into a compact latent memory. A confidence‑guided optimization further refines this memory, leading to state‑of‑the‑art performance on online and offline video benchmarks.
OneStreamer is a streaming video model that jointly learns to record evidence and respond to tasks through a shared proactive generation process. Its Proactive Hierarchical Caption Memory creates time‑grounded local‑detail captions and event summaries, while Proactive State Transition Learning reduces waiting states by supervising all output anchors. The authors also built a large OneStreamer‑1M dataset and show that a 4B model outperforms baselines on eight streaming video benchmarks, with ablations confirming the benefits of generated captions and PSTL.
