ProactEgoMem: Benchmarking Proactive Memory in Streaming Egocentric Video

We introduce ProactEgoMem, a benchmark that evaluates proactive memory in streaming egocentric video.

Key points

  • Today's multimodal assistants are typically prompted to interpret the visual evidence presented to them.
  • To offload the cognitive burden of remembering across long horizons, wearable assistants should instead proactively acquire and maintain useful memory as the user's surroundings evolve.
  • Three tasks ground the evaluation in ambient environmental needs: Information Capture (IC) preserves transient yet dense visual information, State Tracking (ST) follows changing object states, and Location Tracking (LT) records object movements.
  • ProactEgoMem provides a rigorous evaluation foundation for proactive multimodal assistance and for video agents that co-exist with their users.
