LongEgoRefer - Temporal Grounding: leaderboard

LongEgoRefer (2026) builds long-form egocentric referring expressions on Ego4D: 1,498 detailed descriptions of object interactions in untrimmed videos averaging 45 minutes, where the target object is visible in about 1.3 percent of frames. This board scores the vision-language model finding when the described interaction happens, as mean temporal IoU between the predicted and annotated interval in percent; higher is better.

Metric: Mean temporal IoU (%; predicted versus annotated time interval of the referred object interaction, 1,498 expressions over untrimmed Ego4D videos averaging 45 minutes; zero-shot VLM prompted for start and end times). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around October 2027. 19 models tracked.
