Bridging the Grounding Gap in VideoQA via Typed Memory for Language-based Belief-State Reasoning

ICML 2026poster

VideoQA models can be accurate yet often fail to align answers with the correct video segments (the \emph{grounding gap}). We introduce \textbf{LINGUA} (\textbf{L}anguage-based \textbf{IN}ference for \textbf{G}rounded Video \textbf{U}nderstanding \textbf{A}gent), a memory-based agent that performs g…

DistillHGNN: A Knowledge Distillation Approach for High-Speed Hypergraph Neural Networks

ICLR 2025poster

In this paper, we propose a novel framework to significantly enhance the inference speed and memory efficiency of Hypergraph Neural Networks (HGNNs) while preserving their high accuracy. Our approach utilizes an advanced teacher-student knowledge distillation strategy. The teacher model, consisting…
