Research on Incentive Methods to Improve Temporal Cognition in Egocentric Video Understanding Models

·2026.07.09 09:00

Key point

This study proposes the TGPO algorithm, which strengthens temporal reasoning to enhance MLLMs' understanding of egocentric video.

Details

Recently, Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have shown excellent performance in the field of visual understanding, but they have a limitation of lacking temporal cognition ability in Egocentric settings, which require grasping the order and changes of events.

This problem occurs because existing training objectives rely on frame-level spatial shortcuts rather than explicitly rewarding temporal reasoning. To address this, this study proposes Temporal Global Policy Optimization (TGPO).

TGPO has the following characteristics.

  • Based on the RLVR (Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards) algorithm
  • Provides explicit rewards for the model to perform temporal reasoning
  • Guides the model to accurately grasp the complex flow of events in egocentric video
