Don't Pause: Streaming Video-Language Synchrony for Online Video Understanding 文章

arXiv:2606.06991v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Online Video Large Language Models (Video-LLMs) have advanced toward seamless human-AI interaction through frame-by-frame processing and proactive responding. However, a critical challenge remains in streaming scenarios: existing models typically pause video perception while generating responses, breaking real-time video-language synchrony and causing stutters. To address this, we introduce a novel paradigm for online video understanding: Streaming Video-Language Synchrony (SVLS), and present LyraV, a live streaming assistant built upon a hierarchical control framework with two core innovations. First, the Frame-Driven Transition Controller (FDTC), a training-free verification-based finite-state machine, makes high-level semantic decisions on when to continue speaking, start a new response, or stay silent.
