arXiv:2608. 11017v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-horizon egocentric video is a rich substrate for wearable AI assistants, but object-centric questions such as where an item was moved, when it last changed state, or why it was relocated remain difficult because caption- and transcript-based memories rarely preserve persistent object identity or structured spatial change.
Long-horizon egocentric video is a rich substrate for wearable AI assistants, but object-centric questions such as where an item was moved, when it last changed state, or why it was relocated remain difficult because caption- and transcript-based memories rarely preserve persistent object identity or structured spatial change. Existing long-video QA methods mainly emphasize temporal grounding and clip retrieval, while prior 3D scene-graph methods typically assume stronger geometry than free-motion wearable RGB video provides, including point clouds, RGB-D input, posed views, sparse reconstruction, or reconstructed scenes.
arXiv:2605. 28831v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Long-horizon memory question answering often requires sparse evidence from heterogeneous histories, including events, object states, visual observations, temporal relations, and causal steps.
The paper introduces Linguistic Trajectory Encoding (LTE), a hybrid representation that compresses dynamic object motion histories using natural language descriptions, sparse spatial anchors, and visual anchors. LTE adapts compression to motion complexity by anchoring periods without reliable observations to the last seen location while preserving accuracy with geometric waypoints and linguistic descriptions. Evaluated on the newly constructed Spatial Memory Benchmark (SMB) from EgoLife multi‑day recordings, LTE achieves 45.3 % success in semantic trajectory retrieval and 48.7 % in long‑horizon object retrieval, outperforming prior structured‑memory and VLM baselines, and compresses trajectories 8.7×–26.1× with sub‑second query latency on 24‑hour video.

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.
Vision-language models (VLMs) achieve strong semantic understanding but remain unreliable in metric spatial reasoning, particularly when queries require comparing multiple instances of the same object category. We study this problem through the Closest-Instance Distance Query (CIDQ), where a model must identify the nearest visible candidate to a unique reference object and estimate their gravity-aligned floor-plane distance.
