TL;DR

VideoEvent is a lightweight and efficient training-free framework that segments an input video into question-relevant temporal events and selectively supplements them with low-level visual cues such as background and object layout, making it highly suitable for practical deployment.

MetaSampling: Making Frame Samplers Efficient for Long-Video Question Answering

Frame selection is an important component of long-video question answering (VQA) with Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). Existing frame-selection methods improve over simple top-$k$ embedding retrieval and uniform sampling, but are typically applied under a fixed global selection budget. We introduce \textbf{Met...

Query-aligned video frame selection for long video understanding

This work introduces a frame-selection method designed specifically for multiple-choice questions, and is the first to directly utilize answer choices as inference-time cues for selecting frames relevant to answering a question.

Speaking ITM’s Language: Query Reformulation and Temporal-MMR for Long-Video QA

The resulting training-free pipeline, RECAST, consistently outperforms recent frame-selection baselines without modifying the ITM encoder, and preserves the per-frame matching cost of a standard single-query baseline.

Training-Free Temporal Abstraction for General Video Understanding

STITCH is presented, a training-free method that divides a video into semantically meaningful temporal chunks that are computed once per video and reused across tasks, suggesting that reusable temporal abstraction is a promising direction for general video understanding.

EC-RAG: Event Chain Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Long Video Understanding

Current large video-language models (LVLMs) still face challenges when dealing with long videos, mainly because frames are often processed independently, making it difficult to capture temporal dependencies across events. Although retrieval-augmented approaches have been introduced to provide additional context, most o...

Why Is Video Still So Expensive? A Survey of Inference-Efficiency Mechanisms in Video and Audiovisual LLMs

This survey covers inference-efficiency mechanisms for visual and audiovisual VideoLLMs that report concrete reductions in parameter count, FLOPs per input, latency, memory, or visual and audio token count, and organize methods by the pipeline stage at which they act.
