BARISTA: A Multi-Task Egocentric Benchmark for Compositional Visual Understanding

Scene understanding is central to general physical intelligence, and video is a primary modality for capturing both state and temporal dynamics of a scene. Yet understanding physical processes remains difficult, as models must combine object localization, hand-object interactions, relational parsing, temporal reasoning, and step-level procedural inference. Existing benchmarks usually evaluate these capabilities separately, limiting diagnosis of why models fail on procedural tasks. We introduce BARISTA, a densely annotated egocentric dataset and benchmark of 185 real-world coffee-preparation videos covering fully automatic, portafilter-based, and capsule-based workflows. BARISTA provides verified per-frame scene graphs linking persistent object identities to masks, tracks, boxes, attributes, typed relations, hand-object interactions, activities, and process steps. From these graphs, we derive zero-shot language-based tasks spanning phrase grounding, hand-object interaction recognition, referring, activity recognition, relation extraction, and temporal visual question answering. Experiments reveal strong variation across task families and no consistently dominant model family, positioning BARISTA as a challenging diagnostic benchmark for procedural video understanding.

Exchangeability-Aware Sum-Product Networks

Sum-Product Networks (SPNs) are expressive probabilistic models that provide exact, tractable inference. They achieve this efficiency by making use of local independence. On the other hand, mixtures of exchangeable variable models (MEVMs) are a class of tractable probabilistic models that make use of exchangeability of discrete random variables to render inference tractable. Exchangeability, which arises naturally in relational domains, has not been considered for efficient representation and inference in SPNs yet. The contribution of this paper is a novel probabilistic model which we call Exchangeability-Aware Sum-Product Networks (XSPNs). It contains both SPNs and MEVMs as special cases, and combines the ability of SPNs to efficiently learn deep probabilistic models with the ability of MEVMs to efficiently handle exchangeable random variables. We introduce a structure learning algorithm for XSPNs and empirically show that they can be more accurate than conventional SPNs when the data contains repeated, interchangeable parts.

Outlier Explanation via Sum-Product Networks

Outlier explanation is the task of identifying a set of features that distinguish a sample from normal data, which is important for downstream (human) decision-making. Existing methods are based on beam search in the space of feature subsets. They quickly becomes computationally expensive, as they require to run an outlier detection algorithm from scratch for each feature subset. To alleviate this problem, we propose a novel outlier explanation algorithm based on Sum-Product Networks (SPNs), a class of probabilistic circuits. Our approach leverages the tractability of marginal inference in SPNs to compute outlier scores in feature subsets. By using SPNs, it becomes feasible to perform backwards elimination instead of the usual forward beam search, which is less susceptible to missing relevant features in an explanation, especially when the number of features is large. We empirically show that our approach achieves state-of-the-art results for outlier explanation, outperforming recent search-based as well as deep learning-based explanation methods
