LLaVAction: Video Action Recognition LLaVAction: evaluating and training multi-modal large language models for action recognition

Code allows for you to train your own models too, but for us our egocentric work is more focused on video understanding now! Checkout llavaction.epfl.ch

Very nice! Unfortunately this took a while for reviews and such, so it was on arxiv Nov 2024 ( arxiv.org/abs/2411.15234 ) and it’s possible I missed some recent related works πŸ™πŸΌ

This is just our second M&M review!

The first one in 2020 was on AI for behavior - and now we discuss advances for jointly modeling behavioral and neural data!! Here is the first www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Yes, I think internal models for motor control are a given :) if it’s a full generative model of the body and world is still, to me, a great question :) / framing
