Temporal Action Localization (TAL) typically relies on segment annotations or offline access to full videos, limiting scalability and online use. We introduce Point-Supervised Online TAL (POTAL), which localizes actions in streaming videos using only one temporal point per instance. To solve POTAL, we propose OnPoint, an offline-to-online multi-level distillation framework that transfers knowledge from a point-supervised offline teacher to an online student via (i) pseudo-segment instance distillation, (ii) class-activation sequence distillation, and (iii) anticipatory window-level distillation. We further improve robustness by incorporating the original point labels into student training and by refining anchor decoding with actionness-guided attention calibration. Experiments on five datasets show OnPoint consistently outperforms strong baselines, establishing a solid foundation for POTAL.
3D point cloud-language models (3D-LLMs) enable 3D understanding by pairing point cloud encoders with large language models, but existing methods rely on costly multi-modal encoders (e.g., ULIP-2) that require image-text-point cloud alignment on 8x A100-scale compute, creating hi…
Training deep learning models with freely available web images can reduce their dependence on costly manual annotations. Although webly supervised learning has been widely studied for single-label recognition, its multi-label counterpart remains underexplored, partly due to the l…
Weakly supervised segmentation relies heavily on class activation maps (CAMs) to initially localize target regions. However, CAMs are often noisy and prone to catastrophic failures. Existing remedies typically introduce additional training stages or prototype learning, increasing…
Vision-language-action models (VLAs), which leverage the cognition of multimodal information to infer physical-world actions, provide a generalized solution for embodied AI applications. Conventional VLAs usually concentrate on current digital cognition. While some efforts are ma…
Multi-modal object Re-Identification (ReID) aims to retrieve target instances by leveraging complementary information across modalities. However, existing methods suffer from two challenges. First, they often fail to exploit well-aligned and reliable semantic priors, making them…
As semiconductor manufacturing advances toward sub-2nm nodes, local place-and-route (P&R) design-rule violation (DRV) fixing is increasingly limited by complex rule interactions, dense multi-layer routing geometries, and foundry-specific constraints. While Large Language Models (…
