RT-NeuS: Towards Real-Time Neuro-Symbolic Video Understanding via Adaptive Temporal Verification

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

RT-NeuS is a neuro‑symbolic framework for long‑form video question answering that retains the accuracy and formal guarantees of temporal‑logic‑guided methods while dramatically reducing inference latency. It achieves this by using coarse‑to‑fine adaptive sampling to focus on query‑relevant frames and batched proposition detection with KV‑cache reuse, enabling all propositions to be evaluated in a single forward pass. Experiments on LongVideoBench, Video‑MME, and MLVU show up to a 13× speed‑up on an NVIDIA H200 GPU while matching or surpassing prior neuro‑symbolic accuracy.

STRAND: Benchmarking and Improving Object-Centric Spatio-Temporal Monitoring in Video Large Language Models

STRAND is a new benchmark that tests multimodal large language models’ ability to track objects, their states, and relationships over time in videos. It evaluates intermediate reasoning by breaking queries into sub‑questions and uses Faithful Accuracy to ensure all parts of an answer are correct. The authors also propose an object‑centric framework that builds structured trajectories and shows reduced hallucinations and better temporal consistency compared to existing models.
