New datasets and methods advance causal reasoning in video question answering · 2 sources tracked

Researchers have introduced two new datasets and methodologies for causal video question answering, aiming to improve models' ability to understand complex cause-and-effect relationships in dynamic visual scenes. CausalChaos! leverages "Tom and Jerry" cartoons to create challenging questions with multi-level answers, highlighting the need for advanced causal modeling and joint vision-language approaches. ChainReaction proposes a modular architecture that separates causal chain extraction from answer generation, enhancing interpretability and generalization by using natural language causal chains as intermediate representations.

    CausalChaos! Dataset for Comprehensive Causal Action Question Answering Over Longer Causal Chains Grounded in Dynamic Visual Scenes

    arXiv:2404.01299v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Causal video question answering (QA) has garnered increasing interest, yet existing datasets often lack depth in causal reasoning. To address this gap, we capitalize on the unique properties of cartoons and construct Causa…

    ChainReaction: Causal Chain-Guided Reasoning for Modular and Explainable Causal-Why Video Question Answering

    arXiv:2508.21010v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing Causal-Why Video Question Answering (VideoQA) models often struggle with higher-order reasoning, relying on opaque, monolithic pipelines that entangle video understanding, causal inference, and answer generation. …
