AgentVidBench: A Multi-Hop Video Question Answering Benchmark for Evaluating MLLM Agents

AgentVidBench is a new multi‑hop video question‑answering benchmark designed to evaluate spatial, temporal, and causal reasoning in multimodal large language models (MLLMs). Unlike existing tests that focus on simple scene queries or global summaries, AgentVidBench includes step‑by‑step solution traces to assess whether agents gather the necessary evidence to justify their answers. Experiments with 12 MLLMs show limited single‑turn performance, but integrating these models into agentic workflows improves both accuracy and trajectory scores, establishing AgentVidBench as a comprehensive testbed for future research on agentic video understanding.

Evaluation of MLLM-Agnostic Plug-and-Play Keyframe Selection Methods for Long Video Understanding

The paper evaluates five training‑free, plug‑and‑play keyframe selection methods for multimodal large language models (MLLMs) on long‑video understanding tasks. It compares these methods across three different MLLMs and three video question‑answering benchmarks, finding that QAaF performs best in 13 of 15 settings while FOCUS ranks second. The study offers a unified benchmark for assessing MLLM‑agnostic keyframe selection techniques.
