WorldReasoner: Evaluating Whether Language Model Agents Forecast Events with Valid Reasoning

Researchers introduce WorldReasoner, an evaluation framework that assesses whether language model agents can genuinely forecast real-world events through valid reasoning rather than memorization or fabrication. The framework evaluates forecasts across three dimensions—outcome accuracy, evidence quality, and causal reasoning—using 345 resolved tasks built from over 14,000 articles, revealing that agents struggle to convert grounded evidence into properly calibrated probabilities despite improvements in temporally valid retrieval.

When No Answer Is Correct: Diagnosing Absent Answer Detection for MLLMs in Video Understanding

Researchers have identified a critical reliability flaw in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) used for video understanding: when the correct answer is absent from available options, these models fail to recognize it and instead select plausible incorrect alternatives. Testing across multiple models and benchmarks reveals this limitation is especially severe in temporal reasoning tasks and worsens with increased video frame sampling, with chain-of-thought prompting offering only partial mitigation.
