VideoTIR method uses RL to improve long video understanding in LLMs

Researchers have developed VideoTIR, a novel method for improving the understanding of long videos by multimodal large language models (MLLMs). VideoTIR utilizes reinforcement learning to guide MLLMs in effectively using toolkits to parse and focus on meaningful segments of lengthy video content, thereby reducing hallucinations and enhancing accuracy. The system incorporates Toolkit Action Grouped Policy Optimization (TAGPO) to increase efficiency through stepwise rewards and reuse of failed attempts, alongside a sandbox framework for generating high-quality training data. Experiments on three long-video question-answering benchmarks demonstrate VideoTIR's effectiveness and efficiency. AI

IMPACT Enhances LLM capabilities for analyzing long video content, potentially improving applications in video search, summarization, and content moderation.

    VideoTIR: Accurate Understanding for Long Videos with Efficient Tool-Integrated Reasoning

    arXiv:2603.25021v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Existing Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) often suffer from hallucinations in long video understanding (LVU), primarily due to the imbalance between textual and visual tokens. Observing that MLLMs handle short visual inp…
