New AskStream benchmark reveals limitations in proactive video understanding models

Researchers have introduced AskStream, a new benchmark designed to evaluate proactive video understanding models. The benchmark addresses the challenge of models needing to ask for missing information when faced with uncertainty, a common issue in real-world scenarios where data can be incomplete. Current models struggle with this proactive information-seeking behavior, with the strongest performing model achieving only 52.18% on the proposed Ask-F1 metric, indicating significant limitations in their ability to effectively ask for clarification before answering.
