Do the Details Help the Whole? One-Way Transfer from Person Actions to Group Intent in VLMs on JRDB-Social
arXiv cs.AI · Published · 1 min read

- What happened
- Researchers tested whether training vision-language models on both individual person actions and group intent simultaneously improves performance on JRDB-Social dataset.
- Why it matters
- Matters for engineers building multimodal systems that must understand social scenes at multiple semantic levels simultaneously.
- Watch out
- Training on intent only marginally improved group intent prediction while providing no benefit to action recognition, suggesting one-way transfer rather than mutual benefit.
