EgoSAT introduces the first comprehensive benchmark for egocentric streaming interaction understanding, unifying retrospective, present, and prospective temporal reasoning tasks under strict online constraints. It quantifies answerability and evaluates confidence calibration in vision-language models, revealing that current models struggle significantly with temporal grounding and often exhibit miscalibrated confidence.
Key insights
- VLMs, including proprietary frontier models, demonstrate significant limitations in all forms of temporal reasoning (retrospective and prospective), performing far below human baselines.
- Current VLMs exhibit poor confidence calibration, frequently assigning high confidence to incorrect predictions and failing to distinguish between inherently predictable and unpredictable scenarios.
- While egocentric ROI-focused caching can modestly improve present interaction understanding, it often degrades performance for longer-range temporal reasoning by omitting necessary broader contextual cues.
