DoraemonGPT presents an LLM-driven agent framework for comprehensive dynamic scene understanding in videos, leveraging a structured memory, diverse tools, and a Monte Carlo Tree Search planner. This system outperforms prior LLM-driven methods and even supervised models on video question answering and referring object segmentation benchmarks, demonstrating robust spatial-temporal reasoning and knowledge integration.

Key insights

  • Decomposing video information into task-relevant, structured symbolic memory (TSM) drastically improves LLM efficiency and accuracy for spatial-temporal reasoning by reducing context and enabling precise querying.
  • Employing a Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) planner for action sequencing allows thorough exploration of complex planning spaces, leading to more robust and higher-quality solutions compared to greedy approaches.
  • Modular knowledge tools provide crucial extensibility, enabling LLM agents to overcome their inherent knowledge limitations and address domain-specific tasks by seamlessly integrating external information sources.
