VideoDR is a new benchmark for open-web video deep research that tests multimodal models on cross-frame visual anchor extraction, interactive retrieval, and multi-hop reasoning over joint video-web evidence.
StoryVideoQA provides the largest auto-generated deep video understanding dataset to date with 363K QAs across TV and movies, paired with the PlotTree agent for hierarchical plot-based reasoning that existing VideoQA models struggle to match.
SagaQA is a new benchmark for long-range multi-hop reasoning in entire TV series, with evaluation showing hybrid planners outperform others on complex narrative tasks.
Chain-of-Glimpse is a reinforcement-learning-based framework that iteratively grounds visual evidence regions to enable multi-step object-aware reasoning in videos.
This is a survey that frames video MLLM research via a human-view formulation of perceptual representations, memory states, reasoning traces, and predictions, then reviews methods, datasets, benchmarks, and open problems.
