Evaluation of models designed for frame selection within long-form videos (specifically 10 minutes, 600 frames total at 1 FPS) to support Question Answering tasks. Metrics focus on end-to-end latency and the interpretability of the selected frames for compositional questions.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Frame selection for long-form video QA |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | 10-minute video 600 frames at 1 FPS, K=16 |
| Metric | E2E Latency (s) |
| Unit | TIME |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 13 of 13 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [E2E Latency (s)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/frame-selection-for-long-form-video-qa-on-10-minute-video-600-frames-at-1-fps-k-16.md?metric=E2E%20Latency%20(s)>): Lower is better; unit: TIME.

- [Amortized Latency (s)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/frame-selection-for-long-form-video-qa-on-10-minute-video-600-frames-at-1-fps-k-16.md?metric=Amortized%20Latency%20(s)>): Lower is better; unit: TIME.

- [Interpretability (Compositional Qs)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/frame-selection-for-long-form-video-qa-on-10-minute-video-600-frames-at-1-fps-k-16.md?metric=Interpretability%20(Compositional%20Qs)>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.
