arXiv:2606. 16353v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Streaming video understanding models must answer queries at any moment during an ongoing stream, using only what they have observed so far and under fixed memory and computation budgets.
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.
