This paper introduces R2M-Bench, a benchmark designed to evaluate the revisit memory of interactive video world models by assessing observable revisit-selective consistency. By comparing return frames to both gap-matched non-revisit pairs and short-range pairs, the authors derive metrics such as MemoryGain and Normalized Memory Ratio to quantify revisit advantages over temporal baselines. The findings reveal that R2M-Bench correlates with human consistency judgments and highlights the effectiveness of relative calibration in distinguishing true memory recall from mere temporal stability.
Relative calibration can significantly enhance the evaluation of memory consistency in video world models, revealing that traditional metrics may overlook critical distinctions.
High similarity between first-visit and return frames does not necessarily show that a video world model remembered the scene; the intervening rollout may simply have changed very little. This ambiguity makes absolute revisit scores sensitive to rendering stability, repetitive content, and failed motion. We introduce \emph{R2M-Bench} (\textbf{R}elative \textbf{R}evisit \textbf{M}emory Benchmark), a benchmark of observable revisit-selective consistency. For every detected return, R2M-Bench compares the revisit pair with two controls from the same rollout: a gap-matched non-revisit pair that measures generic temporal stability and a short-range pair that estimates short-horizon consistency. These comparisons produce \emph{MemoryGain} (MG), the revisit advantage over the temporal baseline, and the \emph{Normalized Memory Ratio} (NMR), which normalizes this advantage by the short-to-baseline dynamic range. R2M-Bench combines 100 reference scenes with three leave-and-return trajectories to form 300 instances and evaluates appearance fidelity, scene and object identity, local geometry, and persistent state. Across seven action-conditioned video world models, Overall NMR correlates with human consistency judgments at Spearman's $\rho=0.547$ (95\% CI $[0.45,0.63]$). Its within-model correlation magnitude with generated motion is $0.072$, compared with $0.207$ for raw revisit similarity, indicating that relative calibration substantially reduces the slow-motion shortcut. DreamX-World-Memo achieves the highest Overall NMR among the evaluated video models. Together, these results support same-rollout relative calibration as a practical way to distinguish revisit-specific consistency from generic temporal stability.
