I Seek You in Videos: Identity-Conditioned Queries for Person-Centric Video Reasoning

Real-world video reasoning often involves multimodal, multi-source inputs, whereas existing video reasoning tasks typically assume a simplified video-text setting, limiting identity matching and person-centric reasoning. To bridge this gap, we introduce the Identity-conditioned Queries (ICQ) task, in which models are required to jointly associate and interpret an input video and a reference image…
