Toward Fast Human Reaction Modeling from High-Frequency Digital Interaction Data

The paper explores whether rapid, salience-driven behavior can be detected in high‑frequency Counter‑Strike 2 telemetry by reconstructing players’ perceptual states with a millisecond‑precision visibility engine. Using a 60–120 ms reaction window, the authors derive fight‑or‑flight labels and train two telemetry‑native models—EMBER (gradient boosting) and ORBIT (custom transformer)—which outperform a majority‑class baseline and a large language model while requiring far less inference time and cost. Adding a short post‑trigger window further improves accuracy to 85.15%, suggesting a potential probe of the shift from rapid to deliberative control, though the study remains hypothesis‑generating rather than mechanistic.

Plan, Watch, Recover: A Benchmark and Architectures for Proactive Procedural Assistance

We envision a proactive multi-modal assistant system which gives users real-time step-by-step guidance on a procedural task, autonomously deciding \textit{when} to interrupt, and \textit{how} to coach. However, progress is limited by the absence of large-scale, cross-domain benchmarks that reflect realistic conditions, particularly the common case in which users deviate from the expected step sequence.

Readout and Operating-Point Sensitivity in Event-Stream Candidate Selection

The paper evaluates how readout settings and operating points affect event-stream candidate selection in event-triggered recording. Using 520 DailyDVS‑200 clips and 47 participants, the authors compare several encoder configurations—including DINO‑CLS, patch mean, and MobileNetV3‑Small—across different accumulation durations and view counts, reporting metrics such as target capture, false triggers, and partial AUC. The study finds that lightweight baselines and specific operating points significantly influence performance, while no clear advantage is observed for the JEPA‑specific method.

Orthogonal Ensembles and Tested Explanations for Performer-Independent Body-Motion Emotion Recognition

The paper investigates 12‑class body‑only emotion recognition from skeleton motion using a leave‑performer‑out evaluation, where chance accuracy is 8.3% and a reproduced STGCN++ baseline scores 25.73% Macro‑F1. By ensembling eleven models with orthogonal error modes, the authors achieve 36.80% Macro‑F1, a 43% relative improvement over the baseline. They also introduce a tested explanation suite that demonstrates the ensemble’s decisions rely on motion‑grounded body‑region evidence, aligning strongly with Laban Movement Analysis attributes rather than classical kinematics, while showing diffuse temporal saliency.

PulseBound: Future-Beat State Forecasting Under an Explicit Information Boundary

PulseBound is a photoplethysmography (PPG) representation learner that enforces an explicit stored‑window information boundary, ensuring that encoder inputs depend only on a visible prefix and a content‑independent cutoff. By combining physiologically structured future‑beat prediction with prefix‑only normalization, suffix replacement, and aligned masking, PulseBound achieves stored‑suffix invariance, preventing changes in the stored suffix from affecting forecast context or predictions. Evaluated on MIMIC and VitalDB datasets, PulseBound reduces mean absolute error by over 22% compared to last‑visible‑beat persistence and outperforms seven other models on nine frozen linear‑probe and seven full‑fine‑tuning downstream tasks.
