MV-STRIDE: Enabling MLLMs to Master Multi-View Spatial Reasoning via Hierarchical Capability Modeling

MV-STRIDE is a Multi‑View hierarchical Spatial Reasoning dataset that models dependencies among perception, scene understanding, and contextual reasoning to support 3D spatial cognition. It introduces a QA generation pipeline that enforces cross‑view constraints, producing multi‑level reasoning tasks with chain‑of‑thought supervision. Experiments show that training on MV‑STRIDE yields state‑of‑the‑art performance on multi‑view spatial benchmarks, enabling MLLMs to reason robustly across diverse viewpoints.

RT-NeuS: Towards Real-Time Neuro-Symbolic Video Understanding via Adaptive Temporal Verification

RT-NeuS is a neuro‑symbolic framework for long‑form video question answering that retains the accuracy and formal guarantees of temporal‑logic‑guided methods while dramatically reducing inference latency. It achieves this by using coarse‑to‑fine adaptive sampling to focus on query‑relevant frames and batched proposition detection with KV‑cache reuse, enabling all propositions to be evaluated in a single forward pass. Experiments on LongVideoBench, Video‑MME, and MLVU show up to a 13× speed‑up on an NVIDIA H200 GPU while matching or surpassing prior neuro‑symbolic accuracy.

ARGenSeg: Image Segmentation with Autoregressive Image Generation Model

ARGenSeg introduces an autoregressive generation-based approach for image segmentation that integrates seamlessly with multimodal large language models (MLLMs). Unlike prior methods that use boundary points or dedicated segmentation heads, ARGenSeg generates dense masks directly through visual token output and detokenization via a universal VQ‑VAE, enabling fine‑grained pixel‑level perception. The framework employs a next‑scale‑prediction strategy to parallelize token generation, resulting in faster inference while outperforming state‑of‑the‑art segmentation models on multiple datasets.

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.
