About this paper

Joungbin An, Kristen Grauman

AdaAlloc allocates a fixed visual-token budget between sparse low-resolution video-wide frames and denser high-resolution views of selected moments, using question-conditioned planning and temporal grounding followed by refinement. With Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct, a matched 32K final-answering budget yields 56.6% accuracy on LVBench, versus 46.1% for uniform sampling. The evaluation covers four benchmarks and 7–8B backbones.
