Researchers have introduced VideoSearcher, a novel agentic framework designed to enhance video deep research (VDR) by integrating multi-tool reasoning capabilities. This system addresses limitations in current multimodal search agents, which often focus on static images or text-centric retrieval, by unifying temporal localization, spatial focusing, and multimodal search within a single reasoning process. To optimize the learning of these complex reasoning trajectories, the team developed Bi-branch Sequence Policy Optimization (BiSPO), a reinforcement learning algorithm that separates tool-invocation and answer-accuracy optimization. Additionally, they have created VideoSearch-QA, a new benchmark specifically for evaluating open-world video information grounding and multimodal search-based reasoning. AI
