提出可选择性记忆的视频模型,让模型只记住关键信息。
What Should a Streaming Video Model Remember?

- 用动态窗口和优先级压缩机制筛选要记的内容
- 在固定内存下实现82.67%的在线视频理解准确率
- 适合需要实时处理长视频流的应用场景
流式视频理解模型需在持续视频流中任意时刻回答问题,仅依赖已观察内容,并受限于固定内存与计算预算。现有方法通过引入记忆库、检索模块或视觉令牌压缩来保存长期历史,但强近期窗口基线表明,无差别注入历史会稀释当前场景感知,核心挑战不在于是否使用记忆,而在于如何选择性分配。本文将其建模为预算约束下的在线潜在证据分配问题,提出SelectStream——一种选择性潜在记忆框架。该框架保持当前观测直接可见于冻结的视觉语言模型(VLM),仅通过紧凑、查询条件化的证据预算暴露历史信息。三个协同机制控制何时写入、保留什么以及如何检索:基于意外度的自适应窗口、优先级保持的整合、以及固定容量潜在记忆图上的查询条件图推理。检索出的证据经校准后作为潜在标记注入生成答案,无需重放帧或随流长增长上下文。实验显示,SelectStream在流式任务上表现优异,达到StreamingBench 82.67%、OVO-Bench 67.03%、离线基准平均74.4%准确率,优于强近期窗口基线及以往流式记忆方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Streaming video understanding models must answer queries at any moment during an ongoing stream, using only what they have observed so far and under fixed memory and computation budgets. Existing methods address this by adding memory banks, retrieval modules, or visual token compression to preserve long-range history. However, strong recent-window baselines show that indiscriminate history injection can dilute current-scene perception, suggesting that the key challenge is not whether to use memory, but how to allocate it selectively. We formulate this as budgeted online latent evidence allocation and propose \textbf{SelectStream}, a selective latent-memory framework that keeps the current observation directly visible to a frozen VLM while exposing historical information only through a compact, query-conditioned evidence budget. Three coordinated mechanisms govern when to write, what to preserve, and how to retrieve: surprise-driven adaptive windowing, priority-preserving consolidation, and query-conditioned graph reasoning over a fixed-capacity latent memory graph. Retrieved evidence is calibrated and injected as latent tokens for answer generation, without replaying frames or growing the context with stream length. Experimental results show that SelectStream achieves strong online streaming performance and preserves general video understanding, reaching 82.67\% on StreamingBench, 67.03\% on OVO-Bench, and 74.4\% average accuracy on offline video benchmarks, while outperforming strong recent-window baselines and prior streaming memory methods.
