arXiv:2502.07250v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Modern machine learning models excel at detecting individual actions, sounds, or scene attributes from short, localized observations. However, many real-world tasks, such as in smart cities and healthcare, require reasoning over high-level complex events (CEs): spatiotemporal, rule-governed patterns of short-term atomic events (AEs). Complex event detection (CED) is challenging due to long temporal dependencies, generalization beyond the training horizon, sparse CE-level supervision without temporally aligned fine-grained AE labels, and cognitively demanding annotation, as CE labels often depend on ordering, duration, negation, and completion-time semantics. These challenges are further amplified in an online setting that requires causal, streaming inference with limited computation. We identify the primary bottleneck in online CED as learning robust CE rules, and propose a Neural Algorithmic Reasoning framework that decouples rule learning from low-level sensor semantics by (i) generating large-scale synthetic AE-level concept traces to pretrain a Mamba-based CE-rule reasoner, and (ii) introducing an adapter that learns to map raw sensor inputs into the reasoner's latent space using limited, labeled sensor data. We introduce a controlled simulator-generated online multilabel CED testbed built from real-world multimodal sensor clips and rule-generated CE labels, with stress-test settings that vary sensor noise, distribution shift, and the window size used to segment streaming sensor sequences. Experiments on this controlled benchmark show that NAROCE is competitive with the strongest baselines and often outperforms them under these stress tests and longer-horizon generalization, while using 5x fewer labeled sensor sequences and 10-20x fewer FLOPs than all non-Mamba baselines.

arXiv:2604.03299v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: 3D human pose estimation is a key enabling technology for applications such as healthcare monitoring, human-robot collaboration, and immersive gaming, but real-world deployment remains challenged by viewpoint variations. Existing methods struggle to generalize to unseen camera viewpoints, require large amounts of training data, and suffer from high inference latency. We propose MoViD, a viewpoint-invariant 3D human pose estimation framework that disentangles viewpoint information from motion features. The key idea is to extract viewpoint information from intermediate pose features and leverage it to enhance both the robustness and efficiency of pose estimation. MoViD introduces a view estimator that models key joint relationships to predict viewpoint information, and an orthogonal projection module to disentangle motion and view features, further enhanced through physics-grounded contrastive alignment across views. For real-time edge deployment, MoViD employs a frame-by-frame inference pipeline with a view-aware strategy that adaptively activates flip refinement based on the estimated viewpoint. Evaluations on nine public datasets and newly collected multiview UAV and gait analysis datasets show that MoViD reduces pose estimation error by over 24.2\% compared to state-of-the-art methods, maintains robust performance under severe occlusions with 60\% less training data, and achieves real-time inference at 15 FPS on NVIDIA edge devices.
