Watch-Think-Interact: Bootstrapping Long-Horizon Multi-Turn Streaming Video Reasoning with Reinforcement Learning

The paper introduces Watch-Think-Interact (WTI), a closed-loop framework for multi-question streaming video reasoning that maintains compact natural-language memory entries linked to video time ranges. WTI decides whether to answer, continue watching, or recall relevant past intervals for each question, avoiding replay of the full history. The authors build a large dataset, WTI-82K, and a training method, Stream-GDPO, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance on StreamingBench and OVO-Bench.

Memory as Weights: Internalizing Long-Term History for Streaming Videos

The paper introduces MaLoW, a streaming memory framework that internalizes long‑term video history into evolving lightweight parameter updates using a recurrent HyperNetwork and LoRA weights. MaLoW keeps current observations as input while carrying historical context forward without re‑visiting the full video stream. The authors also present MaLoW‑Instruct, a large streaming video dataset, and show that MaLoW outperforms prior memory methods on several benchmarks and improves action success in a vision‑language‑action setting.

MemoryCard: Topic-Aware Multi-Modal Clue Compression for Long-Video Question Answering

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.
