The paper introduces Composed Gait Retrieval (CoGR), a task that retrieves a target gait sequence using a reference sequence and a natural language modification query. To support this, the authors create the first gait-language datasets—Language‑Augmented CCPG and Language‑Augmented CASIA‑B—via an automated annotation pipeline powered by large vision‑language models. They propose ComposeGait, an identity‑anchored composition framework with a Part‑aware Identity Adapter that injects identity tokens into a shared Q‑Former, achieving state‑of‑the‑art retrieval performance on both benchmarks.

LPA-CWM introduces a Learned Physical Adjudicator (LPA) to improve counterfactual world models (CWM) for motion reasoning by learning to weight candidate responses based on visual context and response structure. The 3.0M‑parameter LPA is trained on dense MOVi‑F trajectories while keeping the CWM predictor and intervention generator frozen. A new Completeness‑aware Motion Correspondence (CMC) protocol evaluates localization, trajectory completeness, visibility, and continuity, and LPA‑CWM achieves significant gains on DAVIS and Kinetics subsets.

PhysioAI introduces a clinical knowledge‑guided framework that injects structured physiotherapy knowledge into skeleton‑based action recognition models. By combining graph‑based spatiotemporal modeling with semantic anchors derived from a Clinical Knowledge Dictionary encoded via a frozen CLIP model, PhysioAI improves training of skeleton representations while requiring only skeleton inputs at inference. In subject‑disjoint evaluations, it outperforms existing methods on KiMoRe, Hard‑67, and UI‑PRMD benchmarks, achieving up to 99.03% accuracy on KiMoRe overall.

HALO is a heterogeneity‑aware, language‑aligned foundation model for inertial measurement unit (IMU) based human activity recognition. It uses a two‑stage training process: first, a self‑supervised encoder learns to handle diverse sensor configurations and natural‑language sensor descriptions; second, the encoder is aligned with text embeddings through synonym‑aware contrastive learning, enabling open‑set recognition via cosine similarity. Trained on ten public HAR datasets, HALO outperforms five state‑of‑the‑art baselines across eight metrics while using only ~35 M parameters, and improves zero‑shot open‑set accuracy by 13.7 percentage points over 87 training labels.
