TreeSoc: Tree-Structured Dynamic Reasoning and Tool Synergy for Soccer Video Understanding
Automated understanding of complex soccer scenarios from video remains a significant challenge for contemporary vision-language models (VLMs), which suffer from shallow cross-modal alignment and exhibit fundamental limitations in multi-step reasoning and coordinated tool integration. We present TreeSoc, a structured reasoning framework that reformulates soccer video question answering as a hierarchical search problem rather than a single-pass prediction. Specifically, TreeSoc employs a dynamic depth-first search (DFS) mechanism that decomposes complex queries into sequentially ordered sub-tasks, enabling iterative reasoning refinement through explicit intermediate states. This tree-struct...
