EgoMemReason is a new benchmark for week‑long egocentric video understanding that focuses on memory‑driven reasoning rather than simple perception tasks. It tests three memory types—entity, event, and behavior—across 500 questions, each requiring evidence from an average of 5.1 video segments and 25.9 hours of backtracking. Evaluation of 17 models shows that even the best achieves only 39.6% accuracy, highlighting the difficulty of long‑horizon memory in multimodal systems.

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.
