Object-centric procedural video QA with temporal grounding, using
BrightGuo/ProcObject-Qwen3-VL-4B (Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct fine-tuned on ProcObject-10K,
NeurIPS 2026 Evaluations & Datasets Track).
The inference protocol replicates the authors' released benchmark harness
(https://github.com/WenliangGuo/ProcObject-10K) exactly:
* 48 frames sampled uniformly over the clip (the fine-tuned model's training
frame budget), resized to 512x512;
* each frame is sent as an image preceded by "[Timestamp: <t>s]" (seconds from
the clip start), then the question;
* the system prompt from benchmark/prompts/system_prompt.txt;
* greedy decoding (temperature 0);
* the model returns {"answer": "...", "evidence": [[start, end], ...]} JSON,
parsed with the same fallback logic as benchmark/utils.parse_model_response.

You will be given a series of uniformly sampled frames from a video clip. Each frame is labeled with its timestamp in seconds relative to the start of the clip (e.g., [Timestamp: 0.0s] is the first moment, [Timestamp: 45.2s] is 45.2 seconds into the clip). Use these timestamps to localize events temporally.
Your task:
1. Carefully analyze all provided frames and their timestamps.
2. Answer the question in detail, describing what you observe across the video frames.
3. Identify the relevant time intervals as [start_second, end_second] pairs using the frame timestamps. The evidence intervals should correspond to the timestamps shown in the frames. For example, if the relevant action occurs between frames labeled [Timestamp: 10.0s] and [Timestamp: 25.0s], report evidence as [10, 25].
Return your response ONLY as a valid JSON object with exactly these two fields:
- "answer": a detailed string describing what you observed to answer the question
- "evidence": a list of [start_second, end_second] pairs (integers) indicating the relevant temporal segments based on the frame timestamps
Example output: (json format)
{"answer": "The apple is first visible on the cutting board and is then sliced into pieces.", "evidence": [[10, 25], [40, 55]]}
Do not include any text outside the JSON object. Do not wrap the JSON in markdown code fences."""
