Interactive Episodic Memory with User Feedback
In episodic memory with natural language queries (EM-NLQ), a user may ask a question (e.g., "Where did I place the mug?") that requires searching a long egocentric video, captured from the user's perspective, to find the moment that answers it. However, queries can be ambiguous or incomplete, leading to incorrect responses. Current methods ignore this key aspect and address EM-NLQ in a one-shot setup, limiting their applicability in real-world scenarios. In this work, we address this gap and introduce the Episodic Memory with Questions and Feedback task (EM-QnF). Here, the user can provide feedback on the model's initial prediction or add more information (e.g., "Before this. I'm looking for the big blue mug not the white one"), helping the model refine its predictions interactively. To this end, we collect datasets for feedback-based interaction and propose a lightweight training scheme that avoids expensive sequential optimization. We also introduce a plug-and-play Feedback ALignment Module (FALM) that enables existing EM-NLQ models to incorporate user feedback effectively. Our approach significantly improves over the state of the art on three challenging benchmarks and is better than or competitive with commercial large vision-language models while remaining efficient. Evaluation with human-generated feedback shows that it generalizes well to real-world scenarios.

Towards Adaptable and Interactive Image Captioning with Data Augmentation and Episodic Memory
Interactive machine learning (IML) is a beneficial learning paradigm in cases of limited data availability, as human feedback is incrementally integrated into the training process. In this paper, we present an IML pipeli…

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as long-term interactive agents, yet their limited context windows make it difficult to sustain coherent behavior over extended interactions. Existing memory systems…
EMemBench: Interactive Benchmarking of Episodic Memory for VLM Agents
We introduce EMemBench, a programmatic benchmark generator for evaluating long-term episodic memory of agents through interactive games. Rather than using a fixed set of questions, EMemBench generates questions from envi…
Spatial ReasoningLearning to Forget -- Hierarchical Episodic Memory for Lifelong Robot Deployment
Robots must verbalize their past experiences when users ask "Where did you put my keys?" or "Why did the task fail?" Yet maintaining life-long episodic memory (EM) from continuous multimodal perception quickly exceeds st…
Episodic Memory Verbalization using Hierarchical Representations of Life-Long Robot Experience
Verbalization of robot experience, i.e., summarization of and question answering about a robot's past, is a crucial ability for improving human-robot interaction. Previous works applied rule-based systems or fine-tuned d…
