UNIEGO: Proxies as Mediators for Unified Egocentric Video Representation Learning

arXiv:2606. 20559v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Egocentric video understanding is inherently limited by the narrow perspective of wearable cameras: a single viewpoint, a single modality, a single model cannot capture the full richness of human action.

Moving Beyond More Views: Redundancy-Aware Ego-Exo Fusion for Proficiency Estimation

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.

Video-OPSD: Exploiting Privileged Visual Evidence for On-Policy Self-Distillation in Video Large Language Models

Video-OPSD introduces a post‑training framework for Video Large Language Models that leverages privileged visual evidence to enhance on‑policy self‑distillation. The method constructs a self‑teacher conditioned only on annotated evidence frames, while the student processes the full video, allowing the teacher to provide more focused supervision. Additionally, an evidence‑guided token optimization scheme weights distillation based on each token’s reliance on privileged evidence, improving perceptually grounded reasoning. Experiments demonstrate consistent gains over standard OPSD and comparable performance to GRPO with less training time.
