Abstract
EgoExo proficiency estimation aims to assess action quality by integrating fine-grained motion cues from egocentric (1st-person) views with spatial context from multiple exocentric (3rd-person) views. Simply adding more exocentric views degrades EgoExo performance, as redundant or noisy perspectives dilute useful motion cues. Our analysis identifies two key causes:
(1) Multiview redundancy — From the data perspective, certain views provide limited or noisy information, diluting discriminative cues;
(2) Overfitting — From the feature perspective, conventional fusion increases representational complexity, causing the model to memorise view-specific patterns rather than learn generalisable representations. To address these issues, we propose two complementary modules.
AdaMVS adaptively identifies and fuses the most informative view tokens under weak supervision from the data perspective, while VIB-GB combines Gradient Blending and Variational Information Bottleneck regularisation from the feature perspective to compress redundant signals and suppress overfitting during training.
Experiments on EgoExo-4D and EgoExo-Fitness demonstrate that our method learns both which view to look at and how to fuse them, achieving new state-of-the-art results. Our source code is available at https://github.com/dx199771/AdaMVS
