+# VIGiA: Instructional Video Guidance via Dialogue Reasoning and Retrieval
+
+VIGiA is a multimodal dialogue model for conversational instructional plan guidance, accepted at **EACL 2026**.
+
+It assists users through complex multi-step procedures (e.g., cooking, DIY) via interactive dialogue, supporting plan-grounded answer generation, plan-aware VQA, visually-informed step generation, and conversational video moment retrieval.
