NoteVQA: Benchmarking VLMs on Real-Life Questions from Human Communities

NoteVQA is a new benchmark that collects 252 real‑life visual questions from the Chinese image‑sharing platform Xiaohongshu, covering 12 topics and 7 user intents. Each question is paired with a concise expert reference and a human‑audited interleaved answer that blends text and visual evidence. The study evaluates VLMs on short‑answer correctness and interleaved answer quality using a new AgenticInterleave framework and a 12‑dimensional IVR‑12 rubric, finding that even state‑of‑the‑art models achieve only about 53% accuracy and lag behind human references in content quality.

Companion-style QA Assistance in Ego-Vision

BuddyVQA is a new benchmark for companion‑style question answering on egocentric streaming video, comprising 21.6K questions tied to 6K highlight moments across 1,012 long first‑person videos. It emphasizes two often overlooked aspects of daily first‑person QA: ego‑deictic expressions and interactively chained questions, requiring models to resolve visual pronouns and infer user intent within a long‑form streaming context. The authors propose MyBuddy, a multimodal chain‑of‑thought QA assistant that uses a question filter and multi‑level memory to efficiently retrieve visual and QA information, achieving significant performance gains on BuddyVQA and generalizing to other streaming and common video QA benchmarks.

Incentivizing Vision Language Models to Search for Long Video Question Answering

arXiv:2607. 02959v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce VSeek, an agentic framework that transforms long-video question answering (LVQA) from a passive, single-pass perception task into a multi-turn retrieval process.
