SPARC (Single-Pass Adaptive Risk Calibration) is a Bayesian‑conformal uncertainty layer for human motion forecasting that adds an analytic epistemic scale to a deterministic MLP backbone’s Gaussian covariance. The scale, κ_t(x), inflates the covariance without altering its correlation structure, enabling 95% marginal prediction tubes with finite‑sample validity via split conformal calibration. Across nine dataset‑protocol blocks, SPARC outperforms baselines on NLL and a combined MPJPE+NLL metric while maintaining competitive point accuracy and efficient calibrated tubes.

Newly triggered landslides rarely carry immediate annotations, so cross-domain transferability determines the value of landslide mapping for emergency response and regional risk assessment. Vision foundation models have strengthened representational transfer, yet on unseen regions, events, and data sources they still generate high-confidence false alarms.
