Watch-Think-Interact: Bootstrapping Long-Horizon Multi-Turn Streaming Video Reasoning with Reinforcement Learning

The paper introduces Watch-Think-Interact (WTI), a closed-loop framework for multi-question streaming video reasoning that maintains compact natural-language memory entries linked to video time ranges. WTI decides whether to answer, continue watching, or recall relevant past intervals for each question, avoiding replay of the full history. The authors build a large dataset, WTI-82K, and a training method, Stream-GDPO, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance on StreamingBench and OVO-Bench.

Memory as Weights: Internalizing Long-Term History for Streaming Videos

The paper introduces MaLoW, a streaming memory framework that internalizes long‑term video history into evolving lightweight parameter updates using a recurrent HyperNetwork and LoRA weights. MaLoW keeps current observations as input while carrying historical context forward without re‑visiting the full video stream. The authors also present MaLoW‑Instruct, a large streaming video dataset, and show that MaLoW outperforms prior memory methods on several benchmarks and improves action success in a vision‑language‑action setting.

Beyond Retrieval: Progressive Latent Memory Evolution for Streaming Video Understanding

The paper introduces LatentStream, a progressive latent working memory framework for streaming video understanding that replaces the traditional store‑and‑retrieve paradigm with a retrieve‑and‑internalize approach. It organizes visual history into short, mid, and long‑term levels using Jenks‑guided adaptive consolidation, then expands memory receptive fields to iteratively retrieve and internalize evidence into a compact latent memory. A confidence‑guided optimization further refines this memory, leading to state‑of‑the‑art performance on online and offline video benchmarks.
