New benchmark reveals video models forget long-term context

Researchers have introduced SceneBench, a new benchmark designed to evaluate video understanding models' ability to retain context over long videos, particularly across different scenes. Their findings indicate that current vision-language models (VLMs) exhibit significant forgetting when asked questions that require reasoning over extended temporal information. To address this, they propose Scene-RAG, a retrieval-augmented generation method that improves VLM performance by 2.50% by dynamically integrating relevant context across scenes, highlighting the ongoing challenge in developing robust long-context retention for VLMs. AI

IMPACT Highlights limitations in current VLMs for long-context video understanding, potentially guiding future research towards more robust temporal reasoning capabilities.

    Seeing the Scene Matters: Revealing Forgetting in Video Understanding Models with a Scene-Aware Long-Video Benchmark

    arXiv:2603.27259v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Long video understanding (LVU) remains a core challenge in multimodal learning. Although recent vision-language models (VLMs) have made notable progress, existing benchmarks mainly focus on either fine-grained perception or coar…
