The paper introduces Skeleton-Language feature Pooling Switching, a weakly‑supervised vision‑language pretraining strategy for skeleton‑based zero‑shot spatio‑temporal action localization. It replaces video‑level pooling with instance‑level feature computation during inference, enabling the model to estimate unseen actions without costly annotations. Additionally, Scene‑Mixed Discriminative Contrastive Learning is proposed to separate actions at the instance level within mixed scenes using a MIL framework, and experiments on four public datasets confirm the method’s effectiveness.

WALL-WM is a World Action Model that shifts video-action learning from chunk-centric optimization to event-grounded Vision-Language-Action pretraining, using semantically coherent action events as the atomic unit of learning. Existing WAMs commonly initialize from multimodal or video foundation models and then optimize fixed-length action chunks conditioned directly on the current observation and instruction.
Action Quality Assessment (AQA) aims to objectively evaluate performance quality from action videos. Most existing methods follow a ``one-by-one'' paradigm, training a separate model for each action type.
