Grounding Video Reasoning in Physical Signals

Researchers have developed a new benchmark for evaluating physical video understanding, moving beyond simple event recognition to assess a model's ability to pinpoint events in time and space. This benchmark, which includes video clips from four sources and covers six physics domains, tests models across different prompt families and input conditions. The findings indicate that while physics-based reasoning is the strongest, spatial grounding remains a significant challenge, suggesting future benchmarks should include physically grounded, prompt-aware, and perturbation-aware diagnostics.

    Grounding Video Reasoning in Physical Signals

    Physical video understanding requires more than naming an event correctly. A model can answer a question about pouring, sliding, or collision from textual regularities while still failing to localize the event in time or space. We introduce a grounded benchmark for physical video…
