VAMR is a video agent that handles multiple questions about a single long‑form video using a single shared tool‑use trajectory, rather than treating each question separately. It employs question‑conditioned visual perception, layered multi‑question memory, and a question‑horizon policy optimization to jointly acquire evidence and progressively build a shared understanding. In benchmark tests (LVBench, Video‑Holmes, LongVideoBench), VAMR outperforms prior methods, achieving higher accuracy and fewer reasoning rounds and processed frames.
The paper introduces Behavior Pack Optimization (BPO), a post‑training method for video multimodal large language models that replaces single‑response rewards with a set of outputs across counterfactual views. BPO enforces stability when interventions are irrelevant, sensitivity when key evidence is removed, and abstention when no evidence remains, using an anchor‑relative advantage to keep the objective stable with small pack sizes. Experiments on datasets such as TempCompass, MVBench, and NExT‑QA show that BPO improves macro accuracy and abstention metrics for models like Qwen2.5‑VL‑7B‑Instruct, with gains that transfer to other benchmarks and models.
