arXiv:2603. 09731v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) are increasingly considered as a foundation for embodied agents, yet it remains unclear whether they can reliably reason about the long-term physical consequences of actions from an egocentric viewpoint.

The paper introduces a redundancy-aware fusion framework for EgoExo proficiency estimation, which integrates fine-grained motion cues from egocentric views with spatial context from exocentric views. It identifies multiview redundancy and overfitting as key challenges and proposes two modules—AdaMVS for adaptive view selection and VIB-GB for compressing redundant signals—to address them. Experiments on EgoExo-4D and EgoExo-Fitness show that the method learns to select informative views and fuse them effectively, achieving state‑of‑the‑art results.

EgoArgus is a new, human‑annotated dataset that tests visual‑language models (VLMs) as situational assistants in five everyday dialogue‑video scenarios. It evaluates how well VLMs understand and decide when to intervene, especially when visual and textual cues are helpful, irrelevant, or conflicting. The study finds that current VLMs still struggle to reliably act as egocentric assistants and that existing modality‑bias mitigation methods offer limited improvement.

arXiv:2606. 17627v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fine-grained action recognition in egocentric video is challenging for Vision-Language Models (VLMs): actions often differ only in small visual cues, and a single model tends to be biased toward a subset of these cues.

When should an intelligent assistant speak up without being asked? Continuous egocentric video offers rich, evolving context that enables a new form of assistance: one that is proactive rather than merely reactive.
arXiv:2606. 31127v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: To enable personalized, real-time coaching using Augmented Reality glasses or fixed camera setups in domains such as sports, cooking, or music, a system must understand not just what a person does, but how well they execute an activity.
