TempCloze: Can Video-LLMs Identify the Missing Middle?
Wenqi Pei*, Henry Hengyuan Zhao*, Yilai Liu*, Jiahao Meng, Han Chen, Ziyu Wang, Hongyang Du *Equal contribution
EMNLP 2026 Findings
We focus on evaluating the "temporal reasoning" capabilities of existing frontier models and construct a filtered dataset of 1,521 long-take videos spanning three novel dimensions that are underexplored in previous video temporal reasoning benchmarks.

SCI-PRM: A Tool Aware Process Reward Model for Scientific Reasoning Verification
Xiangyu Zhao, Henry Hengyuan Zhao, Yiheng Wang, Wanghan Xu, Yuhao Zhou, Qinglong Cao, Zhiwang Zhou, Lei Bai, Wenlong Zhang, Xiao-Ming Wu
KDD 2026
We construct SCIPRM70K, a large-scale dataset featuring Chain-of-Tool trajectories that explicitly interleave reasoning with the execution of scientific tools. Building upon this, we train an efficient reward model called Sci-PRM to provide fine-grained supervision on tool selection, execution accuracy, and result interpretation at each step in one inference.

InterFeedback: Unveiling Interactive Intelligence of Large Multimodal Models via Human Feedback
Henry Hengyuan Zhao*, Wenqi Pei*, Yifei Tao*, Haiyang Mei, Mike Zheng Shou *Equal contribution
EMNLP 2025 Findings ICLR 2025 @ Bi-Align Workshop (Oral)
We study whether LMMs can evolve via interactive human feedback and find: (1) Accuracy may not fully capture intelligence; (2) LMMs may cater to humans; (3) Low-quality feedback can hurt more than simple binary feedback.
