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

EgoExo proficiency estimation aims to assess action quality by integrating fine-grained motion cues from egocentric (1st-person) views with spatial context from multiple exocentric (3rd-person) views. Simply adding more exocentric views degrades EgoExo performance, as redundant or noisy perspectives dilute useful motion cues. Our analysis identifies two key causes: (1) Multiview redundancy - From the data perspective, certain views provide limited or noisy information, diluting discriminative cues; (2) Overfitting - From the feature perspective, conventional fusion increases representational complexity, causing the model to memorise view-specific patterns rather than learn generalisable representations. To address these issues, we propose two complementary modules: AdaMVS, which adaptively identifies and fuses the most informative view tokens under weak supervision from the data perspective, and VIB-GB, which combines Gradient Blending and Variational Information Bottleneck regularisation from the feature perspective to compress redundant signals and suppress overfitting during training. Experiments on EgoExo-4D and EgoExo-Fitness demonstrate that our method learns both which view to look at and how to fuse them, achieving new state-of-the-art results.

Generative Data Augmentation for Skeleton Action Recognition

Skeleton-based human action recognition is a powerful approach for understanding human behaviour from pose data, but collecting large-scale, diverse, and well-annotated 3D skeleton datasets is both expensive and labor-intensive. To address this challenge, we propose a conditional generative pipeline for data augmentation in skeleton action recognition. Our method learns the distribution of real skeleton sequences under the constraint of action labels, enabling the synthesis of diverse and high-fidelity data. Even with limited training samples, it can effectively generate skeleton sequences and achieve competitive recognition performance in low-data scenarios, demonstrating strong generalisation in downstream tasks. Specifically, we introduce a Transformer-based encoder-decoder architecture, combined with a generative refinement module and a dropout mechanism, to balance fidelity and diversity during sampling. Experiments on HumanAct12 and the refined NTU-RGBD (NTU-VIBE) dataset show that our approach consistently improves the accuracy of multiple skeleton-based action recognition models, validating its effectiveness in both few-shot and full-data settings. The source code can be found at here.

Interpretable Long-term Action Quality Assessment

Long-term Action Quality Assessment (AQA) evaluates the execution of activities in videos. However, the length presents challenges in fine-grained interpretability, with current AQA methods typically producing a single score by averaging clip features, lacking detailed semantic meanings of individual clips. Long-term videos pose additional difficulty due to the complexity and diversity of actions, exacerbating interpretability challenges. While query-based transformer networks offer promising long-term modeling capabilities, their interpretability in AQA remains unsatisfactory due to a phenomenon we term Temporal Skipping, where the model skips self-attention layers to prevent output degradation. To address this, we propose an attention loss function and a query initialization method to enhance performance and interpretability. Additionally, we introduce a weight-score regression module designed to approximate the scoring patterns observed in human judgments and replace conventional single-score regression, improving the rationality of interpretability. Our approach achieves state-of-the-art results on three real-world, long-term AQA benchmarks. Our code is available at: https://github.com/dx199771/Interpretability-AQA
