Ambivalence and hesitancy (A/H) undermine digital behaviour-change interventions, and recognizing them automatically from video is the goal of the ABAW A/H challenge on the BAH dataset. We describe our system for the 11th edition of the challenge: a calibrated, equal-weight ensemble of three fusion models over frozen face, audio, text, and pose embeddings, which reaches 0.7358 macro-F1 on the public test set. This year's private test, released on a disjoint set of 30 new participants, is scored on five allowed submissions; we report the configuration and rationale of each of our five submissions, and, where already available, the private-test score obtained. Our first submission, an exact replica of the calibrated ensemble tuned only on public validation, scored 0.7361 macro-F1 on the private test, matching our public-test estimate almost exactly and confirming the pipeline generalizes to unseen participants without leakage.
Ambivalence and hesitancy (A/H) are subtle behavioural states that may be expressed through language, voice, facial activity, and other non-verbal cues. The ABAW11 A/H Video Recognition Challenge asks systems to assign a binary A/H label to each naturalistic interview video. Perf…
Virtual reality (VR) headsets (e.g., Meta Quest, Apple Vision Pro) provide a seamless user experience due to their fast, frictionless interaction with the physical world in a simulated environment. User authentication relies on biometric cues such as iris in such headsets. Howeve…
Test-time adaptive out-of-distribution (OOD) detectors update a memory bank from the unlabelled stream. We show this adaptation obeys a provable dynamical law. Modelling bank impurity as a generalized Pólya urn, we prove almost-sure convergence to a mean-field equilibrium whose s…
This paper introduces a new benchmark test, Medical-Checklist, for assessing medical multimodal models. The recent advancements in multimodal models have demonstrated significant potential in the field of medical vision-language tasks. However, it is becoming increasingly clear t…
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved impressive performance in multimodal emotion recognition (MER) tasks and lifted MER to a new level that is complex emotion understanding with advanced video understanding abilities and natural language description. However, e…
Multimodal agentic search systems increasingly rely on external tools to answer knowledge-intensive visual questions. However, existing evaluations mainly focus on final-answer accuracy and may miss failures in the search trajectory. In this work, we study such hidden reliability…
