MAVEN pipeline automates video reasoning data annotation

Researchers have developed MAVEN, an agentic pipeline designed to automate the creation of high-quality structured annotations for video reasoning tasks. This pipeline synthesizes multi-scale event descriptions and supports agent-driven domain adaptation, allowing it to redesign prompts and pipeline structures without manual intervention. MAVEN was used to label over 5,300 traffic videos, and fine-tuning a model called Cosmos-Reason2-8B on this data resulted in performance surpassing Gemini 2.5 Pro and 3.1 Flash on specific evaluation sets. AI
