ShallowStream: Index Shallow then Answer Deep for Streaming Video Understanding

ShallowStream is a framework for streaming video understanding that uses the shallow layers of a multimodal large language model (MLLM) to encode frames and build a lightweight index. During streaming, it maintains an always‑on index via the KV cache of shallow layers, and at query time it scores context frames using shallow‑layer attention and selects diverse evidence for answering. The approach matches the performance of leading streaming methods while cutting per‑frame prefill latency and 10‑second end‑to‑end latency by up to 52.1× and 11.9×, respectively.

Diagnosing and Correcting Bias in MLLM for Long Video Understanding

The paper introduces S‑MME, a benchmark for diagnosing shortcut‑biased behavior in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) on long‑video question answering. It proposes CLEAR, a training‑free framework that estimates and mitigates bias by treating the full video‑question pair as a complete view and intervening on hidden states during inference. Experiments on five benchmarks demonstrate that CLEAR improves prediction accuracy and robustness across different MLLMs.

Reasoning with Memory: A Temporal Granularity-Adaptive Framework for Training-Free Long Video Understanding

arXiv:2607. 24794v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) demonstrate superior generalization in fundamental video tasks, restricted context windows limit their long video understanding.
