Slightly Shift New Classes to Remember Old Classes for Video Class-Incremental LearningJian Jiao, Yu Dai, Hefei Mei et al.
Recent video class-incremental learning usually excessively pursues the accuracy of the newly seen classes and relies on memory sets to mitigate catastrophic forgetting of the old classes. However, limited storage only allows storing a few representative videos. So we propose SNRO, which slightly shifts the features of new classes to remember old classes. Specifically, SNRO contains Examples Sparse(ES) and Early Break(EB). ES decimates at a lower sample rate to build memory sets and uses interpolation to align those sparse frames in the future. By this, SNRO stores more examples under the same memory consumption and forces the model to focus on low-semantic features which are harder to be forgotten. EB terminates the training at a small epoch, preventing the model from overstretching into the high-semantic space of the current task. Experiments on UCF101, HMDB51, and UESTC-MMEA-CL datasets show that SNRO performs better than other approaches while consuming the same memory consumption.

CMP: A Composable Meta Prompt for SAM-Based Cross-Domain Few-Shot SegmentationShuai Chen, Fanman Meng, Chunjin Yang et al.
Cross-Domain Few-Shot Segmentation (CD-FSS) remains challenging due to limited data and domain shifts. Recent foundation models like the Segment Anything Model (SAM) have shown remarkable zero-shot generalization capability in general segmentation tasks, making it a promising solution for few-shot scenarios. However, adapting SAM to CD-FSS faces two critical challenges: reliance on manual prompt and limited cross-domain ability. Therefore, we propose the Composable Meta-Prompt (CMP) framework that introduces three key modules: (i) the Reference Complement and Transformation (RCT) module for semantic expansion, (ii) the Composable Meta-Prompt Generation (CMPG) module for automated meta-prompt synthesis, and (iii) the Frequency-Aware Interaction (FAI) module for domain discrepancy mitigation. Evaluations across four cross-domain datasets demonstrate CMP's state-of-the-art performance, achieving 71.8\% and 74.5\% mIoU in 1-shot and 5-shot scenarios respectively.

M$^3$-Med: A Benchmark for Multi-lingual, Multi-modal, and Multi-hop Reasoning in Medical Instructional Video UnderstandingShenxi Liu, Kan Li, Mingyang Zhao et al.
With the rapid progress of artificial intelligence (AI) in multi-modal understanding, there is increasing potential for video comprehension technologies to support professional domains such as medical education. However, existing benchmarks suffer from two primary limitations: (1) Linguistic Singularity: they are largely confined to English, neglecting the need for multilingual resources; and (2) Shallow Reasoning: their questions are often designed for surface-level information retrieval, failing to properly assess deep multi-modal integration. To address these limitations, we present M3-Med, the first benchmark for Multi-lingual, Multi-modal, and Multi-hop reasoning in Medical instructional video understanding. M3-Med consists of medical questions paired with corresponding video segments, annotated by a team of medical experts. A key innovation of M3-Med is its multi-hop reasoning task, which requires a model to first locate a key entity in the text, then find corresponding visual evidence in the video, and finally synthesize information across both modalities to derive the answer. This design moves beyond simple text matching and poses a substantial challenge to a model's deep cross-modal understanding capabilities. We define two tasks: Temporal Answer Grounding in Single Video (TAGSV) and Temporal Answer Grounding in Video Corpus (TAGVC). We evaluated several state-of-the-art models and Large Language Models (LLMs) on M3-Med. The results reveal a significant performance gap between all models and human experts, especially on the complex multi-hop questions where model performance drops sharply. M3-Med effectively highlights the current limitations of AI models in deep cross-modal reasoning within specialized domains and provides a new direction for future research.
