IMPACT-Scribe: Interactive Temporal Action Segmentation with Boundary Scribbles and Query Planning

Dense temporal annotation of procedural activity videos is vital for action understanding and embodied intelligence but remains labor-intensive due to reactive tools. Each correction is treated as an isolated edit, limiting reuse of information on annotator uncertainty and model reliability. We introduce IMPACT-Scribe, a correction-driven framework for dense labeling that uses each correction to improve future human-machine collaboration. IMPACT-Scribe combines uncertainty-aware boundary scribble supervision, local proposal modeling, cost-aware query planning, structured propagation, and correction-driven adaptation. Experiments and a human study show that this closed-loop design improves labeling quality per effort, enhances boundary accuracy, and fosters better human-machine interaction over time. The code will be made publicly available at https://github.com/BanzQians/IMPACT_AS.

Leveraging Flatness to Improve Information-Theoretic Generalization Bounds for SGD

Information-theoretic (IT) generalization bounds have been used to study the generalization of learning algorithms. These bounds are intrinsically data- and algorithm-dependent so that one can exploit the properties of data and algorithm to derive tighter bounds. However, we observe that although the flatness bias is crucial for SGD's generalization, these bounds fail to capture the improved generalization under better flatness and are also numerically loose. This is caused by the inadequate leverage of SGD's flatness bias in existing IT bounds. This paper derives a more flatness-leveraging IT bound for the flatness-favoring SGD. The bound indicates the learned models generalize better if the large-variance directions of the final weight covariance have small local curvatures in the loss landscape. Experiments on deep neural networks show our bound not only correctly reflects the better generalization when flatness is improved, but is also numerically much tighter. This is achieved by a flexible technique called "omniscient trajectory". When applied to Gradient Descent's minimax excess risk on convex-Lipschitz-Bounded problems, it improves representative IT bounds' $Ω(1)$ rates to $O(1/\sqrt{n})$. It also implies a by-pass of memorization-generalization trade-offs.
