arXiv:2606.24797v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in Video Large Language Models (Video-LLMs) have yielded promising performance on video question answering (VideoQA). Nevertheless, existing benchmarks are predominantly evaluated through answer correctness, while the grounding of predictions in relevant video evidence remains largely unexamined. This disconnect between answer generation and evidence understanding motivates the construction of the Evidence-Grounded Video Question Answering Benchmark (EG-VQA), an open-ended evaluation protocol in which each QA pair is explicitly
The rapid advancement of Video-LLMs necessitates new, more rigorous benchmarking methods to validate their capabilities beyond superficial answer correctness.
This benchmark addresses a critical gap in evaluating AI, specifically the 'grounding' of video understanding, which is crucial for reliable and trustworthy AI applications in real-world scenarios.
The introduction of EG-VQA shifts the focus of VideoQA evaluation from mere answer correctness to verifiable evidence grounding, pushing models towards more robust and interpretable intelligence.
