VideoResearcher: Self-Improving Tool Design for Long-Video Understanding

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

VideoResearcher is a training‑free, multi‑agent framework that autonomously designs, tests, and refines high‑impact tools for long‑video understanding. It operates through dual Solving and Evolving loops, analyzing tool‑use trajectories to identify gaps, coordinating specialized agents to develop and validate executable tools, and reusing evolved tools to improve evidence acquisition in subsequent reasoning. The approach achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance among self‑improving agents and approaches the human‑designed upper bound, demonstrating a paradigm that expands agent capabilities while reducing costly manual engineering.
