SuperMemory-VQA: An Egocentric Visual Question-Answering Benchmark for Long-Horizon Memory

Hugging Face Daily Papers Papers

Summary

SuperMemory-VQA is a new egocentric VQA benchmark featuring 52.9 hours of AI-glasses footage and 4,853 QA pairs designed to evaluate AI assistants on long-horizon memory tasks spanning object recall, intent, timelines, and conversations. Benchmarking reveals existing agentic frameworks and LLMs remain far from reliable on these real-world memory challenges.

AI glasses present a compelling platform for AI agents to serve as personalized memory assistants. To be genuinely useful, such systems must move beyond short-term video comprehension and address memory gaps that humans experience for practical, personal, or social purposes over longitudinal egocentric video streams. However, existing egocentric datasets predominantly focus on action recognition or generic QAs from short clips, measuring perceptual capabilities rather than realistic human memory needs. We introduce SuperMemory-VQA, an egocentric visual question answering (VQA) dataset for evaluating AI assistants on practical, long-horizon memory tasks. It contains 52.9 hours of everyday activities recorded with AI glasses, including synchronized RGB video, audio transcription, eye gaze, IMU, and SLAM trajectories. Through a human-verified annotation pipeline, we construct grounded 4,853 question-answer pairs that span object and location memory, intent recall, visual scene recall, timeline reconstruction, conversational memory, and in-context retrieval. Each question is posed as multiple-choice with an explicit "unanswerable" option to test hallucination robustness. Benchmarking leading agentic frameworks and LLM backbones reveals that existing systems remain far from reliable on real-world memory tasks, highlighting the need for new architectures for grounded AI memory that can answer only when evidence is sufficient. A participant survey further supports that our questions are realistic, useful, and aligned with everyday memory needs.

MemoryDocDataSet: A Benchmark for Joint Conversational Memory and Long Document Reasoning

arXiv cs.CL

MemoryDocDataSet is a new synthetic benchmark of 50 micro-worlds and 1,000 QA pairs designed to evaluate AI systems on the joint task of conversational memory and long-document reasoning simultaneously. The best baseline (RAG-Both) achieves only 0.358 overall F1, highlighting a significant gap in current systems' ability to unify conversational memory with long-document navigation.
