Precise Event Spotting (PES) requires distinguishing visually similar yet semantically distinct adjacent frames, making it fundamentally different from image classification and coarse action recognition. Although self-distillation methods such as DINO have shown strong representation learning ability in images, we find that directly applying them to PES is ineffective: without supervised guidance, subtle but crucial motion cues are often suppressed as noise, leading to representations that are insensitive to precise event boundaries.

Video object segmentation (VOS) is a fundamental task in video understanding, requiring accurate delineation and consistent tracking of objects across frames. While supervised methods achieve strong performance, they rely on densely annotated datasets that are costly to obtain and have limited domain coverage.

Event cameras, also known as neuromorphic cameras, have gained significant attention in recent years due to their high temporal resolution, high dynamic range, and low power consumption. While many studies and datasets in neuromorphic vision have focused on automotive and drone applications, human-centric daily-life scenarios remain largely underrepresented, despite their importance for developing and benchmarking event-based perception systems.
World Action Models (WAMs) are able to leverage pretrained video generators for both world modeling and action prediction. However, directly leveraging such video generators for control raises a new challenge: how to represent actions in a suitable form that aligns with pretrained video generators while carrying enough motion cues for accurate control.
