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.

Fine-grained understanding of operating room (OR) activity could enable workflow-aware assistance, yet remains difficult due to clutter, occlusions, and limited sensing. The prevailing approach to model this environment is scene graphs as an interpretable representation of OR interactions.
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.

Hand-object interaction (HOI) recognition requires capturing both hand manipulations and object transformations. However, existing video-language models often fall into shortcuts by relying on spurious correlations among hands, objects, or environmental context, rather than reasoning from the appearance and dynamics of hands and objects themselves.
