TASKS INTRODUCED IN THE LTE PAPER

Spatial Memory BenchmarkLong-horizon spatiotemporal memory
for embodied agents

Spatial Memory Benchmark (SMB) tests whether a memory system can retrieve objects by their state history and find their last occurrence across hours of egocentric observations. It is constructed from EgoLife multi-day recordings.

01 / TASK DEFINITIONS

Remember the change.
Retrieve the last occurrence.

Two complementary tests of object-centric memory, with 300 queries each.

STR / 300 QUERIES

Semantic Trajectory Retrieval

Locate objects matching a description of their motion or state history, within optional semantic spatial regions and temporal constraints.

Query
An object state description, optionally with a place and time.
Evidence
Matching object instances, valid temporal spans, and bounding boxes in supporting frames.
Construction
300 queries over 232 object instances; queries may involve one or two objects.

LOR / 300 QUERIES

Long-Horizon Object Retrieval

Retrieve the last occurrence of a described object inside a specified lookback window, optionally restricted to a spatial region.

Query
An object description and a temporal lookback window.
Evidence
The last observed occurrence and its bounding box within that window.
Horizons
2, 6, 12, and 24 hours, with 75 queries at each horizon.

Last occurrence means last observed evidence, not a guarantee of an unseen object's current position. These are task definitions, not executable annotation schemas or live inference.

02 / PAPER-REPORTED PROTOCOL

Temporal evidence
and spatial agreement.

For both tasks, the paper reports success rate: a retrieved frame must lie within the object's ground-truth temporal span and have bounding-box IoU ≥ 0.3. The paper also reports stricter IoU ≥ 0.5 results and per-horizon analysis.

  1. STR annotations: tracking-assisted object instances and state histories are manually verified. Annotators identify valid temporal spans and representative-frame boxes; candidates with failed tracking are skipped.
  2. LOR annotations: annotators inspect chronologically ordered observations in reverse to identify the latest occurrence within each lookback window.
  3. Interpretation: the tracking-assisted construction and skipped instances are part of the benchmark's scope. The published protocol should not be confused with a released scoring program.

Where the observations come from

SMB is constructed from EgoLife, whose source collection contains 300 hours from six participants over seven days in a shared home. Individual sessions reach 50 hours. This is the source collection's scale, not the length of every SMB query; LOR looks back at most 24 hours.

How SMB differs from Ego4D

The LTE paper also evaluates Ego4D Natural Language Queries (NLQ) and Visual Queries 2D (VQ2D). Those are established Ego4D tasks, not part of SMB. SMB introduces STR and LOR using EgoLife recordings to study long-term embodied agent memory, object state history, and natural-language video retrieval.

Construction and annotation details: §4.1 and Appendix A of arXiv:2609.04802v1. SMB does not evaluate general lifelong learning or robot navigation.

03 / RESULTS IN THE PAPER

DESCRIPTION ONLY

SMB annotations and evaluation scripts are not released here. No dataset-release date is announced.

The planned ST-Mem memory-core release is separate from benchmark evaluation code. This website does not distribute source video, model weights, or SMB query annotations, and it does not grant dataset access or redistribution rights.

For source recordings, consult the original EgoLife project and its access terms. EgoLife is the work of Jingkang Yang and collaborators (CVPR 2025); Ego4D is the work of Kristen Grauman and collaborators (CVPR 2022).
