The paper introduces Composed Gait Retrieval (CoGR), a task that retrieves a target gait sequence using a reference sequence and a natural language modification query. To support this, the authors create the first gait-language datasets—Language‑Augmented CCPG and Language‑Augmented CASIA‑B—via an automated annotation pipeline powered by large vision‑language models. They propose ComposeGait, an identity‑anchored composition framework with a Part‑aware Identity Adapter that injects identity tokens into a shared Q‑Former, achieving state‑of‑the‑art retrieval performance on both benchmarks.

arXiv:2606. 29531v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose MotionAtlas, a system for detailed captioning of motion-centric videos, comprising (1) a dedicated human-annotated benchmark, (2) a scalable, high-quality pipeline to construct training samples, and (3) a family of powerful Video-MLLMs.
arXiv:2607. 16322v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Micro-gesture recognition demands the detection of fleeting, spatially localized movements that are frequently overwhelmed by dominant static appearances and background noise.
The paper introduces Grounded Human-Attributed Description and Activity Recognition (GHADAR), a task that requires describing the characteristics and activities of every person in a video given their locations. It presents a new dataset derived from AVA-Actions with open‑set captions, a method that constrains cross‑attention masks in vision‑language models to better use grounding information, and a holistic VLM‑based evaluation schema that compares concepts directly between video and predictions. Experiments show the proposed method surpasses state‑of‑the‑art VLMs and highlight limitations of existing evaluation metrics.
