arXiv:2606. 01485v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We describe our submission to the VRR Challenge @ CVPR 2026, built on the \emph{ImplicitQA} / \emph{VRR-QA} benchmark~\cite{implicitqa}: multiple-choice video question answering in which answers are deliberately \emph{not} observable in any single frame and must be inferred from spatial layout, motion, depth, viewpoint, causality, and social context across discontinuous frames of creative video.

OmniReasoning: Pushing the Limits of Audio-Visual Joint Reasoning

OmniReasoning introduces a new benchmark, OmniReasoningBench, that requires both audio and visual evidence for answering 1,150 multiple-choice and open-ended questions across two tasks. The authors also develop OmniQA, a data engine that automatically generates evidence‑grounded QA pairs with time‑stamped clue chains, producing training datasets OmniReasoning‑SFT‑112K and OmniReasoning‑RL‑19K. Finally, they propose Modality‑Factored Self‑Distillation (MFSD), an on‑policy self‑distillation method that assigns token‑level credit by evaluating responses under modality‑specific clue contexts, enabling the OmniReasoning‑30B‑A3B model to achieve significant performance gains on both the new benchmark and existing video benchmarks.

Video Evidence to Reasoning Efficient Video Understanding via Explicit Evidence Grounding

arXiv:2601. 07761v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) face a fundamental dilemma in video reasoning: they are caught between the prohibitive computational costs of verbose reasoning and the hallucination risks of efficient, ungrounded approaches.
