IMPACT-CYCLE: A Contract-Based Multi-Agent System for Claim-Level Supervisory Correction of Long-Video Semantic Memory

Correcting errors in long-video understanding is disproportionately costly: existing multimodal pipelines produce opaque, end-to-end outputs that expose no intermediate state for inspection, forcing annotators to revisit raw video and reconstruct temporal logic from scratch. The core bottleneck is not generation quality alone, but the absence of a supervisory interface through which human effort can be proportional to the scope of each error. We present IMPACT-CYCLE, a supervisory multi-agent system that reformulates long-video understanding as iterative claim-level maintenance of a shared semantic memory -- a structured, versioned state encoding typed claims, a claim dependency graph, and a provenance log. Role-specialized agents operating under explicit authority contracts decompose verification into local object-relation correctness, cross-temporal consistency, and global semantic coherence, with corrections confined to structurally dependent claims. When automated evidence is insufficient, the system escalates to human arbitration as the supervisory authority with final override rights; dependency-closure re-verification then ensures correction cost remains proportional to error scope. Experiments on VidOR show substantially improved downstream reasoning (VQA: 0.71 to 0.79) and a 4.8x reduction in human arbitration cost, with workload significantly lower than manual annotation. Code will be released at https://github.com/MKong17/IMPACT_CYCLE.

IMPACT: A Dataset for Multi-Granularity Human Procedural Action Understanding in Industrial Assembly

We introduce IMPACT, a synchronized five-view RGB-D dataset for deployment-oriented industrial procedural understanding, built around real assembly and disassembly of a commercial angle grinder with professional-grade tools. To our knowledge, IMPACT is the first real industrial assembly benchmark that jointly provides synchronized ego-exo RGB-D capture, decoupled bimanual annotation, compliance-aware state tracking, and explicit anomaly--recovery supervision within a single real industrial workflow. It comprises 112 trials from 13 participants totaling 39.5 hours, with multi-route execution governed by a partial-order prerequisite graph, a six-category anomaly taxonomy, and operator cognitive load measured via NASA-TLX. The annotation hierarchy links hand-specific atomic actions to coarse procedural steps, component assembly states, and per-hand compliance phases, with synchronized null spans across views to decouple perceptual limitations from algorithmic failure. Systematic baselines reveal fundamental limitations that remain invisible to single-task benchmarks, particularly under realistic deployment conditions that involve incomplete observations, flexible execution paths, and corrective behavior. The full dataset, annotations, and evaluation code are available at https://github.com/Kratos-Wen/IMPACT.

Rethinking Video Human-Object Interaction: Set Prediction over Time for Unified Detection and Anticipation

Video-based human-object interaction (HOI) understanding requires both detecting ongoing interactions and anticipating their future evolution. However, existing methods usually treat anticipation as a downstream forecasting task built on externally constructed human-object pairs, limiting joint reasoning between detection and prediction. In addition, sparse keyframe annotations in current benchmarks can temporally misalign nominal future labels from actual future dynamics, reducing the reliability of anticipation evaluation. To address these issues, we introduce DETAnt-HOI, a temporally corrected benchmark derived from VidHOI and Action Genome for more faithful multi-horizon evaluation, and HOI-DA, a pair-centric framework that jointly performs subject-object localization, present HOI detection, and future anticipation by modeling future interactions as residual transitions from current pair states. Experiments show consistent improvements in both detection and anticipation, with larger gains at longer horizons. Our results highlight that anticipation is most effective when learned jointly with detection as a structural constraint on pair-level video representation learning. Benchmark and code will be publicly available.

Towards Multi-Source Domain Generalization for Sleep Staging with Noisy Labels

Automatic sleep staging is a multimodal learning problem involving heterogeneous physiological signals such as EEG and EOG, which often suffer from domain shifts across institutions, devices, and populations. In practice, these data are also affected by noisy annotations, yet label-noise-robust multi-source domain generalization remains underexplored. We present the first benchmark for Noisy Labels in Multi-Source Domain-Generalized Sleep Staging (NL-DGSS) and show that existing noisy-label learning methods degrade substantially when domain shifts and label noise coexist. To address this challenge, we propose FF-TRUST, a domain-invariant multimodal sleep staging framework with Joint Time-Frequency Early Learning Regularization (JTF-ELR). By jointly exploiting temporal and spectral consistency together with confidence-diversity regularization, FF-TRUST improves robustness under noisy supervision. Experiments on five public datasets demonstrate consistent state-of-the-art performance under diverse symmetric and asymmetric noise settings. The benchmark and code will be made publicly available at https://github.com/KNWang970918/FF-TRUST.git.

TME-PSR: Time-aware, Multi-interest, and Explanation Personalization for Sequential Recommendation

In this paper, we propose a sequential recommendation model that integrates Time-aware personalization, Multi-interest personalization, and Explanation personalization for Personalized Sequential Recommendation (TME-PSR). That is, we consider the differences across different users in temporal rhythm preference, multiple fine-grained latent interests, and the personalized semantic alignment between recommendations and explanations. Specifically, the proposed TME-PSR model employs a dual-view gated time encoder to capture personalized temporal rhythms, a lightweight multihead Linear Recurrent Unit architecture that enables fine-grained sub-interest modeling with improved efficiency, and a dynamic dual-branch mutual information weighting mechanism to achieve personalized alignment between recommendations and explanations. Extensive experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate that our method consistently improves recommendation accuracy and explanation quality, at a lower computational cost.

ProOOD: Prototype-Guided Out-of-Distribution 3D Occupancy Prediction

3D semantic occupancy prediction is central to autonomous driving, yet current methods are vulnerable to long-tailed class bias and out-of-distribution (OOD) inputs, often overconfidently assigning anomalies to rare classes. We present ProOOD, a lightweight, plug-and-play method that couples prototype-guided refinement with training-free OOD scoring. ProOOD comprises (i) prototype-guided semantic imputation that fills occluded regions with class-consistent features, (ii) prototype-guided tail mining that strengthens rare-class representations to curb OOD absorption, and (iii) EchoOOD, which fuses local logit coherence with local and global prototype matching to produce reliable voxel-level OOD scores. Extensive experiments on five datasets demonstrate that ProOOD achieves state-of-the-art performance on both in-distribution 3D occupancy prediction and OOD detection. On SemanticKITTI, it surpasses baselines by +3.57% mIoU overall and +24.80% tail-class mIoU; on VAA-KITTI, it improves AuPRCr by +19.34 points, with consistent gains across benchmarks. These improvements yield more calibrated occupancy estimates and more reliable OOD detection in safety-critical urban driving. The source code is publicly available at https://github.com/7uHeng/ProOOD.

RHO: Robust Holistic OSM-Based Metric Cross-View Geo-Localization

Metric Cross-View Geo-Localization (MCVGL) aims to estimate the 3-DoF camera pose (position and heading) by matching ground and satellite images. In this work, instead of pinhole and satellite images, we study robust MCVGL using holistic panoramas and OpenStreetMap (OSM). To this end, we establish a large-scale MCVGL benchmark dataset, CV-RHO, with over 2.7M images under different weather and lighting conditions, as well as sensor noise. Furthermore, we propose a model termed RHO with a two-branch Pin-Pan architecture for accurate visual localization. A Split-Undistort-Merge (SUM) module is introduced to address the panoramic distortion, and a Position-Orientation Fusion (POF) mechanism is designed to enhance the localization accuracy. Extensive experiments prove the value of our CV-RHO dataset and the effectiveness of the RHO model, with a significant performance gain up to 20% compared with the state-of-the-art baselines.

Not an Obstacle for Dog, but a Hazard for Human: A Co-Ego Navigation System for Guide Dog Robots

Guide dogs offer independence to Blind and Low-Vision (BLV) individuals, yet their limited availability leaves the vast majority of BLV users without access. Quadruped robotic guide dogs present a promising alternative, but existing systems rely solely on the robot's ground-level sensors for navigation, overlooking a critical class of hazards: obstacles that are transparent to the robot yet dangerous at human body height, such as bent branches. We term this the viewpoint asymmetry problem and present the first system to explicitly address it. Our Co-Ego system adopts a dual-branch obstacle avoidance framework that integrates the robot-centric ground sensing with the user's elevated egocentric perspective to ensure comprehensive navigation safety. Deployed on a quadruped robot, the system is evaluated in a controlled user study with sighted participants under blindfold across three conditions: unassisted, single-view, and cross-view fusion. Results demonstrate that cross-view fusion significantly reduces collision times and cognitive load, verifying the necessity of viewpoint complementarity for safe robotic guide dog navigation.

Seeing Beyond: Extrapolative Domain Adaptive Panoramic Segmentation

Cross-domain panoramic semantic segmentation has attracted growing interest as it enables comprehensive 360° scene understanding for real-world applications. However, it remains particularly challenging due to severe geometric Field of View (FoV) distortions and inconsistent open-set semantics across domains. In this work, we formulate an open-set domain adaptation setting, and propose Extrapolative Domain Adaptive Panoramic Segmentation (EDA-PSeg) framework that trains on local perspective views and tests on full 360° panoramic images, explicitly tackling both geometric FoV shifts across domains and semantic uncertainty arising from previously unseen classes. To this end, we propose the Euler-Margin Attention (EMA), which introduces an angular margin to enhance viewpoint-invariant semantic representation, while performing amplitude and phase modulation to improve generalization toward unseen classes. Additionally, we design the Graph Matching Adapter (GMA), which builds high-order graph relations to align shared semantics across FoV shifts while effectively separating novel categories through structural adaptation. Extensive experiments on four benchmark datasets under camera-shift, weather-condition, and open-set scenarios demonstrate that EDA-PSeg achieves state-of-the-art performance, robust generalization to diverse viewing geometries, and resilience under varying environmental conditions. The code is available at https://github.com/zyfone/EDA-PSeg.

InterEdit: Navigating Text-Guided Multi-Human 3D Motion Editing

Text-guided 3D motion editing has seen success in single-person scenarios, but its extension to multi-person settings is less explored due to limited paired data and the complexity of inter-person interactions. We introduce the task of multi-person 3D motion editing, where a target motion is generated from a source and a text instruction. To support this, we propose InterEdit3D, a new dataset with manual two-person motion change annotations, and a Text-guided Multi-human Motion Editing (TMME) benchmark. We present InterEdit, a synchronized classifier-free conditional diffusion model for TMME. It introduces Semantic-Aware Plan Token Alignment with learnable tokens to capture high-level interaction cues and an Interaction-Aware Frequency Token Alignment strategy using DCT and energy pooling to model periodic motion dynamics. Experiments show that InterEdit improves text-to-motion consistency and edit fidelity, achieving state-of-the-art TMME performance. The dataset and code will be released at https://github.com/YNG916/InterEdit.
