This research proposes a framework to compress long-horizon multimodal video data into structured procedural memory using frozen vision encoders and local language models. By segmenting continuous workplace footage into auditable event cards, the system addresses redundancy and privacy constraints while enabling efficient retrieval of complex workflows. The approach represents a significant step toward scalable, on-premise AI systems capable of understanding high-level procedures from raw sensory data.
A Framework for Egocentric and Exocentric Procedural Understanding via Temporal Segmentation and Semantic Abstraction
arXiv:2610.00069v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-horizon ego/exo data contains rich procedural evidence, but are redundant, noisy, and costly to process or retain. We propose a compact framework that converts continuous multimodal workplace video into a structured Procedural State Memory, implemented as a Work Environment Model (WEM). Inspired by event segmentation theory, we detect boundaries using changes in visual context, location, motion, narration, gaze/object interaction, and optional exocentric workspace evidence, rather than fixed windows or visual novelty alone. Each segment is abstracted into an evidence-linked event card containing actor, interval, location, action, objects/tools, pre/post state, confidence, and provenance. These event cards incrementally update the WEM, enabling compact, auditable documentation and retrieval under on-premise privacy constraints. We instantiate the design with frozen DINOv2 and VJEPA-2 encoders and a local language model, and outline evaluation criteria for segmentation quality, memory compression, retrieval fidelity, and long-horizon QA.
