Arxiv paper - ImplicitQA: Going beyond frames towards Implicit Video Reasoning

In this episode, we discuss ImplicitQA: Going beyond frames towards Implicit Video Reasoning by Sirnam Swetha, Rohit Gupta, Parth Parag Kulkarni, David G Shatwell, Jeffrey A Chan Santiago, Nyle Siddiqui, Joseph Fioresi, Mubarak Shah. The paper introduces ImplicitQA, a new VideoQA benchmark designed to evaluate models on implicit reasoning in creative and cinematic videos, requiring understanding beyond explicit visual cues. It contains 1,000 carefully annotated question-answer pairs from over 320 narrative-driven video clips, emphasizing complex reasoning such as causality and social interactions. Evaluations show current VideoQA models struggle with these challenges, highlighting the need for improved implicit reasoning capabilities in the field.
