Figure, table and section ledger

Editorial contribution type: Training, objectives & optimization (primary).

Layout extraction, not a required paper template. Counts are distinct caption labels; a multi-panel figure counts once. Section spans are estimated from heading positions, including floats and whitespace. Method and limitations.

Section-by-section lengths and source pages

The title/abstract/front matter precede the first numbered heading. A span ends at the next detected top-level heading, not at the last sentence; end-page whitespace is included. References and statements are listed separately. These are not measurements of text-only or artwork area.

    Argument and organization

    1. 1 Introduction; 2 Related Work

      Defines streaming through causal access, historical context and latency rather than simply short video clips.

    2. 3 Method

      Formulates global/frame/patch features, causal temporal encoding, text labels and six multitask losses.

    3. 4 Experiments; 5 Conclusions

      Describes annotated pretraining sources and frozen-backbone transfer before task, attention and data-efficiency controls.

    Problem, claim and contribution

    Names future-frame exclusion as part of the task contract and motivates a common backbone across spatial and temporal output granularities.

    Sections 1 and 3.1, physical pp.1–3 · Main paper

    Argument and section order

    Feature shapes and a shared alignment formulation precede individual task losses, letting the reader track which feature resolution serves each task.

    Sections 3.1–3.4, pp.3–6 · Main paper

    Figures, captions and visual explanation

    The overview maps one snowmobiling video to global language, temporal intervals and spatial masks, using the same visual/text token colors across all three levels.

    Figure 2, p.4 · Main paper

    Tables, comparisons and evidence

    The task-mixture table retains competing optima across downstream tasks; a separate causal-versus-bidirectional comparison exposes the small accuracy cost before the latency/memory curves.

    Tables 4–6 and Figure 3, p.8 · Main paper

    Appendix and reproducibility

    Prompt templates and full VideoQA training details are delegated to supplementary material, while the main text identifies frozen-backbone and task-head choices.

    Sections 3.3 and 4.3.3, pp.4,7 · Main paper

    Clarity and writing conventions

    The data-efficiency discussion explicitly calls out the tradeoff between computation and annotation cost rather than treating fewer richly labelled videos as universally cheaper data.

    Section 4.4, p.8 · Main paper

    What to reuse—and what not to infer

    Transferable lesson: Define online information access first, then separate representation training, task-head adaptation and end-to-end response cost.

    Boundary: Causal attention with a KV cache does not imply bounded memory for indefinitely long streams; the plotted memory still grows. Backbone-only timing excludes task heads/LLMs, and the rich-annotation data comparison is not a matched annotation-budget study.

    Apply this lesson using the argument and evidence worksheet.
