Omni-modal models have expanded multimodal interaction across vision, audio, speech, and language. However, their training is predominantly organized around semantic descriptions and general-purpose objectives, leaving physical attributes, interaction states, and causal mechanisms only partially specified. This gap is not simply a matter of modality coverage: adding more modalities does not by itself provide the supervision needed to connect observations with the physical structure of the world. We present OmniFysics-Nano-V2, a compact omni-modal model for physical-world perception and understanding. The model supports image, video, audio, speech, and text inputs within a shared reasoning framework, together with text and speech generation. To address the lack of explicit physical supervision, we construct a dual-branch physics-aware data pipeline that grounds salient objects in structured physical attributes and aligns visual changes with acoustic events, intermediate responses, and interaction outcomes. To address homogeneous training objectives, we curate reinforcement-learning prompts by reward diversity and adopt a two-stage Group Relative Policy Optimization curriculum that progresses from general task correctness to fine-grained physical perceptual reasoning. Experiments across multimodal, audio-visual, and physical reasoning benchmarks show that the proposed data and training strategy improves physical-world understanding while preserving broad omni-modal competence. The proposed model achieves leading result on 17 of 21 benchmarks against SOTA omni-modal models. By equipping AI systems with both omni-modal and physical-world perception capabilities, OmniFysics-Nano-V2 is poised to become a cornerstone of next-generation Physical AI.

In recent years, AIGC technologies are capable of generating hyper-realistic forged facial images, posing severe threats to facial security safety. To tackle these challenges, early Deepfake research primarily centered on real-fake classification. Recently, growing efforts have been devoted to the Deepfake Attribution (DFA) of generated content. Nevertheless, existing research on Deepfake detection and attribution faces saturated performance in binary classification, limited diversity in datasets and algorithms, and imperfect evaluation protocols, which severely impede practical application. To address these limitations, we propose a comprehensive deepfake detection and attribution benchmark named DeepfakeGenome (DFG). It contains 100 facial forgery algorithms and 2M images in total, achieving 4× to 100× larger than prior DFA benchmarks. We further design 4 protocols for practical evaluation, including a novel retrieval-based attribution paradigm. Unlike previous open-set evaluation metrics, the proposed retrieval metrics are more aligned with the real-world active defense situation of blacklist registration mechanisms. Based on these elaborate designs, we investigate the performance ceiling of deepfake attribution task. Over 2k experimental evaluations are conducted, and 10 insightful findings are derived. We believe this work can provide new insights into the DFA research field. The Code and Benchmark of DFG are avaliable on https://huggingface.co/spaces/DeepfakeGenome/DFG\_Page.

In Deepfake Detection (DFD) tasks, researchers proposed two types of MLLM-based methods: complementary combination with small DFD detectors, or static forgery knowledge injection. The lack of professional forgery knowledge hinders the performance of these DFD-MLLMs. To solve this, we deeply considered two insightful issues: How to provide high-quality associated forgery knowledge for MLLMs? AND How to endow MLLMs with critical reasoning abilities given noisy reference information? Notably, we attempted to address above two questions with preliminary answers by leveraging the combination of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Reinforcement Learning (RL). Through RAG and RL techniques, we propose the VRAG-DFD framework with accurate dynamic forgery knowledge retrieval and powerful critical reasoning capabilities. Specifically, in terms of data, we constructed two datasets with RAG: Forensic Knowledge Database (FKD) for DFD knowledge annotation, and Forensic Chain-of-Thought Dataset (F-CoT), for critical CoT construction. In terms of model training, we adopt a three-stage training method (Alignment → SFT → GRPO) to gradually cultivate the critical reasoning ability of the MLLM. In terms of performance, VRAG-DFD achieved SOTA and competitive performance on DFD generalization testing. Code and trained wights of VRAG-DFD will be publicly available on GitHub.

Currently, China is facing problems such as a shortage of medical resources, overpressure on the medical service system, and uneven distribution of regional medical resources. Considering the vast population base of China and the ageing trend, the gap in the number of medical personnel in China will continue to expand. In order to deal with the above problems, there is an effective way to fill the vast number gap as soon as possible while ensuring the quality of medical services. However, the training of medical personnel has the characteristics of a long cycle and high cost. Therefore, improving efficiency and reducing the cost of medical training have become critical issues in alleviating the pressure on the medical system. In many medical teaching and training phases, medical skill training occupies a pivotal position. High-quality skill training can effectively improve the clinical level of medical staff and reduce the incidence of medical accidents.
Under the traditional medical skill training and assessment mode, doctors must observe and guide students' operations. Although this method can ensure high-quality teaching results, it always requires the participation of doctors, which has problems such as high human costs and heavy workloads. The high human cost under the traditional teaching and assessment mode limits the efficiency and scale of medical skill training. The intelligent medical skill assessment system based on artificial intelligence provides a vital idea to solve the above problems: firstly, record the operation process of medical students through vision and other sensors, then use artificial intelligence algorithms to achieve fine-grained action recognition and accurate automatic skill assessment, and finally feedback the skill assessment results. The intelligence medical skill assessment system can effectively improve the efficiency of training and testing, thereby significantly reducing the workload of doctors and human costs in medical skill training.

Fine-grained medical action analysis plays a vital role in improving medical skill training efficiency, but it faces the problems of data and algorithm shortage. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is an essential skill in emergency treatment. Currently, the assessment of CPR skills mainly depends on dummies and trainers, leading to high training costs and low efficiency. For the first time, this paper constructs a vision-based system to complete error action recognition and skill assessment in CPR. Specifically, we define 13 types of single-error actions and 74 types of composite error actions during external cardiac compression and then develop a video dataset named CPR-Coach. By taking the CPR-Coach as a benchmark, this paper investigates and compares the performance of existing action recognition models based on different data modalities. To solve the unavoidable “Single-class Training & Multi-class Testing” problem, we propose a human-cognition-inspired framework named ImagineNet to improve the model’s multierror recognition performance under restricted supervision. Extensive comparison and actual deployment experiments verify the effectiveness of the framework. We hope this work could bring new inspiration to the computer vision and medical skills training communities simultaneously. The dataset and the code are publicly available on GitHub .

The expensive cost of the medical skill training paradigm hinders the development of medical education, which has attracted widespread attention in the intelligent signal processing community. To address the issue of composite error action recognition in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) training, this letter proposes a multimodal pre-training framework named CPR-CLIP based on prompt engineering. Specifically, we design three prompts to fuse multiple errors naturally on the semantic level and then align linguistic and visual features via the contrastive pre-training loss. Extensive experiments verify the effectiveness of the CPR-CLIP. Ultimately, the CPR-CLIP is encapsulated to an electronic assistant, and four doctors are recruited for evaluation. Nearly four times efficiency improvement is observed in comparative experiments, which demonstrates the practicality of the system. We hope this work brings new insights to the intelligent medical skill training and signal processing communities simultaneously. Code is available on GitHub .

Reliable and stable 6D pose estimation of uncooperative space objects plays an essential role in on-orbit servicing and debris removal missions. Considering that the pose estimator is sensitive to background interference, this paper proposes a counterfactual analysis framework named CA-SpaceNet to complete robust 6D pose estimation of the spaceborne targets under complicated background. Specifically, conventional methods are adopted to extract the features of the whole image in the factual case. In the counterfactual case, a non-existent image without the target but only the background is imagined. Side effect caused by background interference is reduced by counterfactual analysis, which leads to unbiased prediction in final results. In addition, we also carry out lowbit-width quantization for CA-SpaceNet and deploy part of the framework to a Processing-In-Memory (PIM) accelerator on FPGA. Qualitative and quantitative results demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed method. To our best knowledge, this paper applies causal inference and network quantization to the 6D pose estimation of space-borne targets for the first time. The code is available at https://github.com/Shunli-Wang/CA-SpaceNet .

In recent years, assessing action quality from videos has attracted growing attention in computer vision community and human-computer interaction. Most existing approaches usually tackle this problem by directly migrating the model from action recognition tasks, which ignores the intrinsic differences within the feature map such as foreground and background information. To address this issue, we propose a Tube Self-Attention Network (TSA-Net) for action quality assessment (AQA). Specifically, we introduce a single object tracker into AQA and propose the Tube Self-Attention Module (TSA), which can efficiently generate rich spatio-temporal contextual information by adopting sparse feature interactions. The TSA module is embedded in existing video networks to form TSA-Net. Overall, our TSA-Net is with the following merits: 1) High computational efficiency, 2) High flexibility, and 3) The state-of-the-art performance. Extensive experiments are conducted on popular action quality assessment datasets including AQA-7 and MTL-AQA. Besides, a dataset named Fall Recognition in Figure Skating (FR-FS) is proposed to explore the basic action assessment in the figure skating scene. Our TSA-Net achieves the Spearman's Rank Correlation of 0.8476 and 0.9393 on AQA-7 and MTL-AQA, respectively, which are the new state-of-the-art results. The results on FR-FS also verify the effectiveness of the TSA-Net. The code and FR-FS dataset are publicly available at https://github.com/Shunli-Wang/TSA-Net .

Human action recognition and analysis have great demand and important application significance in video surveillance, video retrieval, and human-computer interaction. The task of human action quality evaluation requires the intelligent system to automatically and objectively evaluate the action completed by the human. The action quality assessment model can reduce the human and material resources spent in action evaluation and reduce subjectivity. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey of existing papers on video-based action quality assessment. Different from human action recognition, the application scenario of action quality assessment is relatively narrow. Most of the existing work focuses on sports and medical care. We first introduce the definition and challenges of human action quality assessment. Then we present the existing datasets and evaluation metrics. In addition, we summarized the methods of sports and medical care according to the model categories and publishing institutions according to the characteristics of the two fields. At the end, combined with recent work, the promising development direction in action quality assessment is discussed.

The paper presents an object detection accelerator featuring a processing-in-memory (PIM) architecture on FPGAs. PIM architectures are well known for their energy efficiency and avoidance of the memory wall. In the accelerator, a PIM unit is developed using BRAM and LUT based counters, which also helps to improve the DSP performance density. The overall architecture consists of 64 PIM units and three memory buffers to store inter-layer results. A shrunk and quantized Tiny-YOLO network is mapped to the PIM accelerator, where DRAM access is fully eliminated during inference. The design achieves a throughput of 201.6 GOPs at 100MHz clock rate and correspondingly, a performance density of 0.57 GOPS/DSP.

This paper presents a design strategy of chiplet-based processing-in-memory systems for deep neural network applications. Monolithic silicon chips are area and power limited, failing to catch the recent rapid growth of deep learning algorithms. The paper first demonstrates a straightforward layer-wise method that partitions the workload of a monolithic accelerator to a multi-chiplet pipeline. A quantitative analysis shows that the straightforward separation degrades the overall utilization of computing resources due to the reduced on-chiplet memory size, thus introducing a higher memory wall. A tile interleaving strategy is proposed to overcome such degradation. This strategy can segment one layer to different chiplets which maximizes the computing utilization. To facilitate the strategy, the modification of the chiplet system hardware is also discussed. To validate the proposed strategy, a nine-chiplet processing-in-memory system is evaluated with a custom-designed object detection network. Each chiplet can achieve a peak performance of 204.8GOPS at a 100-MHz rate. The peak performance of the overall system is 1.711TOPS, where no off-chip memory access is needed. By the tile interleaving strategy, the utilization is improved from 53.9 to 92.8.
