MemEvo: Automatic Discovery of Streaming Video Memory Mechanisms
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.36581v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Query-agnostic streaming video understanding requires vision-language models to continuously compress an indefinitely growing visual stream into a bounded memory before future queries are known. The performance depends critically on the memory mechanism--what observations to preserve, how to represent and consolidate them, and what information to retrieve when a query eventually arrives. Rather than designing a single memory architecture by hand, we formulate memory design as a search problem over executable memory programs. We introduce a lightw
