About this paper

Gen Li, Peiyu Liu

FastV-RAG answers knowledge-intensive video questions by retrieving text and generating a separate draft for each document with a smaller vision-language model. A stronger model checks reasoning support, while CLIP compares each draft’s entity with video frames. On VideoSimpleQA, it reports 91.12% accuracy and 25.74 seconds, versus 91.30% and 47.72 seconds for standard RAG; evaluation is limited to named datasets.
