arXiv:2504. 01407v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Long video understanding poses a fundamental challenge for large video-language models (LVLMs) due to the overwhelming number of frames and the risk of losing essential context through naive downsampling.

We introduce Predictive State Retrieval (PSR), a task in which a model observes a short video prefix and a temporal question about an object's future state, then retrieves instances from other videos or images that depict that state. Unlike action anticipation, which predicts a label, moment retrieval, which localizes an observed event within a video, or video generation, which synthesizes pixels, PSR combines anticipation with cross-instance retrieval across multiple temporal horizons.
