FlowWAM: Optical Flow as a Unified Action Representation for World Action Models

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.

Seeing Before Synthesizing: VLM-Guided Transition Event Discovery for Weakly-Supervised Dense Video Captioning

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.
