HPP: Hierarchical Programmatic Probing for Long Video Understanding by Decoupling Perception and Reasoning

Researchers introduce Hierarchical Programmatic Probing (HPP), a framework that separates visual perception from temporal reasoning in long video understanding by enabling coding-capable language models to iteratively probe videos through programmatic exploration. The approach decouples perception and reasoning tasks that traditional vision-language models attempt to handle simultaneously, demonstrating significant improvements across multiple long-video benchmarks including LongVideoBench, EgoSchema, and VideoMME.

Concept Flow Models: Anchoring Concept-Based Reasoning with Hierarchical Bottlenecks

Researchers propose Concept Flow Models (CFMs), a hierarchical approach to interpretable AI that addresses information leakage problems in existing Concept Bottleneck Models. By organizing semantic concepts into decision trees rather than flat structures, CFMs maintain predictive accuracy while improving model transparency and reducing spurious correlations.

Knowing When to Ask: Self-Gated Clarification for Hierarchical Language Agents

Researchers propose ACTION-RATING, a framework enabling hierarchical AI agents to recognize uncertainty and request clarification as a direct action competing with navigation decisions. Testing on a 30,000-node taxonomy shows information-seeking effectiveness rising from 50% to 74% as agents shift from mandatory to opportunistic clarification modes, with accuracy gains up to 16.2%.
