Where to Look Matters: On-Policy Self-Distillation for Long-Video Understanding

The paper introduces Clue-OPSD, a clue‑privileged on‑policy self‑distillation framework that improves long‑video understanding by focusing on short, question‑relevant clue intervals rather than the entire video. Experiments on multiple benchmarks and Qwen3.5 model scales show that this approach consistently outperforms standard backbone models and competes strongly with supervised post‑training baselines, all while requiring fewer input frames and no additional inference modules.

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.

Not Another Text Benchmark: Putting the "Visual" Back in Visual Question Answering for Large Video Models

The paper introduces three new vision‑centric evaluation benchmarks—temporal frame retrieval, video future prediction, and causal memory distortion—to assess visual question answering in large video models. Unlike traditional benchmarks that rely on text-based multiple choice questions, these tasks require models to reason directly from visual inputs. The authors find that current state‑of‑the‑art models struggle with visual queries, highlighting a gap in visual understanding that future research should address.
