Summary
This paper talks about Artic, a new communication system designed for video chats between humans and AI, which reduces delays and data use while keeping the AI's understanding sharp.
What's the problem?
Video chatting with AI can feel slow and laggy because the AI takes a long time to process video and network problems can cause dropped data, making conversations feel unnatural.
What's the solution?
The researchers created Artic to send video data in a smart way that focuses only on the most important parts of the video for the AI to understand, and they developed a method to handle lost data smoothly by using previous video frames to fill in the gaps without wasting bandwidth.
Why it matters?
This matters because Artic makes video chats with AI feel more like talking to a real person by reducing lag and improving how the AI understands what’s happening on video, which can be used for better communication and collaboration with AI.
Abstract
Artic is an AI-oriented real-time communication framework that reduces video streaming latency and bitrate while maintaining MLLM accuracy through context-aware streaming and loss-resilient adaptive frame rate.
