Critique Edit Automatic Metrics Coding
  • We introduce Video-RSI, a framework for recursive self-improvement in which a video understanding agent uses its own language model to revise its harness.
  • Across our evaluation settings on video understanding benchmarks, the evolved agent improves accuracy while processing fewer frames and achieves competitive accuracy-efficiency trade-offs against existing video understanding agents.
