The paper evaluates optical‑flow based wingbeat counting on simulated Crazyflie vehicles using MuJoCo. Three temporal models—causal temporal convolution, leaky integrate‑and‑fire spiking, and causal self‑attention—were combined with a shared convolutional encoder and tested on 1,440 clips at 1.5 m and 3.0 m distances. Exact‑count accuracies ranged from 92.22 % to 96.67 %, with no significant differences between models, and the study highlights the need to report both total counts and event‑level timing.

The paper presents an end‑to‑end system that converts driving footage into dynamic vision sensor (DVS) event streams, augments training with simulated DVS data, and trains a convolutional spiking neural network (Conv‑SNN) to classify pedestrian crossing intent as crossing or non‑crossing. The Conv‑SNN, trained with a class‑balanced loss and surrogate‑gradient learning, achieves high accuracy and F1 scores on JAAD and CARLA DVS datasets, outperforming or matching prior frame‑based methods while operating on sparse temporal representations. The study details architectural choices, neuron dynamics, and training protocols, and provides a convergence analysis and domain‑transfer evaluation.

UNWIND is a facial‑video framework that detects stress by treating an entire recording as a single input, avoiding the need for temporal windowing or segmentation. It folds the video’s temporal dimension into the channel dimension of a 2‑D spatial representation and processes it with an asymmetric‑attention architecture. Experiments on a 58‑subject stress dataset show that using all 3,600 frames (stride τ = 1) yields a 69.73 % accuracy, comparable to the best 70.02 % accuracy at τ = 15, while computational cost varies from 12.48 to 348.78 GFLOPs.

arXiv:2608. 06154v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) are increasingly used as zero-shot controllers, but successful trajectories do not necessarily show that decisions are grounded in visual input: simulator dynamics and conservative action priors can produce favourable scores without meaningful perception.

LongVU‑TTT is a causal test‑time training method for long‑video multimodal large language models that inserts a convolutional resampler with fast‑weight updates between the vision encoder and the LLM. The fast weights adapt per video and contextualize frame features before compression, while a hybrid selector keeps explicit visual evidence for downstream reasoning. Experiments show that TTT‑Conv outperforms TTT‑MLP and bidirectional Mamba2 on MLVU, and beats attention‑ and fixed‑state recurrent resamplers on three benchmarks, achieving competitive results on five video‑understanding tasks after reducing 512 frames to 128 LLM frames.

arXiv:2606. 08123v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Model selection for safety-relevant visual recognition is often based on clean aggregate performance, although robustness, transfer, embedded latency, and explanation faithfulness may produce different preferences.
AVTrace is a diagnostic suite designed to evaluate audio‑visual temporal reasoning in omni models. It covers tasks such as onset and span grounding, synchronization, next‑step prediction, cross‑modal localization, chain parsing, and event‑conditioned comprehension, providing 34,114 training examples and balanced development and test splits. Five open omni models were tested, all scoring below the majority‑label baseline on synchronization verification and showing low performance on chain parsing and event‑conditioned tasks, while parameter‑efficient temporal post‑training improved some metrics.
