Title: Query-Conditioned Evidential Keyframe Sampling for MLLM-Based Long-Form Video Understanding

Abstract:
arXiv:2604.01002v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have shown strong performance on video question answering, but their application to long-form videos is constrained by limited context length and computational cost, making keyframe sampling essential. Existing approaches typically rely on semantic relevance or reinforcement learning, which either fail to capture evidential clues or suffer from inefficient combinatorial optimization. In this work, we propo
