DualAlign framework enhances action quality assessment with multi-modal fusion

Researchers have introduced DualAlign, a novel two-stage framework designed to improve Action Quality Assessment (AQA) by effectively fusing multi-modal data. This approach addresses challenges like cross-modal misalignment and the high cost of annotation by first stabilizing visual representations from RGB, optical flow, and skeleton data before incorporating textual semantics. To support this research, a new dataset called MM--JDM was created, which includes diverse multi-modal inputs and realistic noise, class imbalance, and label scarcity. Experiments demonstrate that DualAlign significantly outperforms existing methods on MM--JDM and other benchmarks, while also showing robustness in scenarios with missing modalities or limited labels.
