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.

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.

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.

arXiv:2608. 12935v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Perturbation methods explain model decisions by measuring prediction changes under altered inputs, but response magnitude tells us only how much a model reacts, not what that reaction means.

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.
