The paper introduces the Identity-Aware Human-Object Interaction Motion Captioning task, which requires captions to include both the subject’s identity and the interaction motion, e.g., "Sub_ID lifts the chair" instead of a generic description. It proposes ID‑HOINet, a model that learns from multi‑view videos using a Multi‑View Identity‑Motion Learning Module and a Two‑Stage Caption Rewriting Strategy to generate identity‑aware captions. Experiments show that ID‑HOINet achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on the BEHAVE and InterCap datasets.

Uni-HOI is a unified framework that learns the joint distribution among text, human motion, and object motion for 4D human‑object interaction (HOI). It uses large language models and two motion‑specific VQ‑VAEs to convert heterogeneous motion data into token sequences, enabling seamless integration of all three modalities. A two‑stage training strategy first captures correlations on a large‑scale HOI dataset and then fine‑tunes for specific tasks, achieving strong performance on text‑driven HOI generation, object‑motion‑driven human motion generation, and human‑motion‑driven object motion prediction.
SituHOI is a large‑scale RGB‑D dataset that captures full‑body human‑object interactions in 16 indoor rooms, comprising 18,429 annotated clips and about 86 hours of activity. The dataset pairs moving‑camera recordings with static scene scans, object geometry, language descriptions, and estimated human and object trajectories, all registered in a shared floor‑aligned frame via a pipeline that integrates camera localization, depth‑based alignment, human mesh recovery, and object tracking. The data enable the FlexHOI‑Bench benchmark for goal‑conditioned joint motion prediction, and a reference predictor, SharedHOI, demonstrates strong performance on world‑space accuracy and human‑object coordination. whyItMatters":"The dataset provides scalable, scene‑aligned supervision for modeling human‑object interaction, addressing a key limitation of existing datasets and enabling more accurate motion prediction benchmarks."

arXiv:2510. 14904v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Dense Video Object Captioning (DVOC) is the task of jointly detecting, tracking, and captioning object trajectories in a video, requiring the ability to understand spatio-temporal details and describe them in natural language.
The paper introduces Grounded Human-Attributed Description and Activity Recognition (GHADAR), a task that requires describing the characteristics and activities of every person in a video given their locations. It presents a new dataset derived from AVA-Actions with open‑set captions, a method that constrains cross‑attention masks in vision‑language models to better use grounding information, and a holistic VLM‑based evaluation schema that compares concepts directly between video and predictions. Experiments show the proposed method surpasses state‑of‑the‑art VLMs and highlight limitations of existing evaluation metrics.
Pose histories provide the core kinematic evidence for 3D human motion prediction, but they lack explicit high-level semantic guidance. This paper introduces ZGL, a lightweight language-conditioned predictor that uses captions of the observed motion as a semantic prior while preserving a strong motion backbone as the main source of dynamics.

The paper introduces Seeing Before Synthesizing (SBS), a weakly-supervised dense video captioning framework that uses a vision‑language model to generate frame‑level narratives for gaps between events and detect transitions based on semantic changes. SBS refines temporal masks by aligning transition points with vision‑language cues, rather than relying on rigidly placed synthetic captions. Experiments on ActivityNet Captions and YouCook2 show that SBS achieves state‑of‑the‑art results in both captioning and localization tasks.
