How do video understanding models acquire their answers? Although current Vision Language Models (VLMs) reason over complex scenes with diverse objects, action performances, and scene dynamics, understanding and controlling their internal…
Language models have been supervised with both language-only objective and visual grounding in existing studies of visual-grounded language learning. However, due to differences in the distribution and scale of visual-grounded datasets and…
Recent video reasoning models increasingly produce spatio-temporal evidence chains that localize objects at specific timestamps. While these traces improve interpretability by grounding \emph{where} and \emph{when} evidence appears, they…
