• How do the driving and robot world-model sources measure multi-view, temporal, physics and control-following consistency, and which of those measurements are numbers versus figures or company claims? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  The sources use five families of checks: distribution distances (FID, FVD, FDD, FVMD), epipolar Sampson error within a view over time (TSE) and between views (CSE), pose re-estimation from the generated clip to check commanded paths (Cosmos TAE/TFE and camera-path errors, Vista IDM trajectory difference), detector/segmentation agreement with the conditioning boxes (GAIA-2), and human preference tests (Vista, Cosmos instruction tests). GAIA-2 provides no multi-camera metric in its text; Cosmos does (TSE/CSE, Table 24 and Predict2.5 Table 14) and notes the real-video reference values. Wayve's GAIA-3/4 pages describe LiDAR alignment, a three-level fidelity scheme and unpublished correlation claims; these are company statements without a linked report. Numbers from different reports are not comparable even for similar model names.
• Which control inputs (ego trajectory, steering/speed, agent boxes, map, weather text, camera layout, robot actions, camera pose) do the driving and robot world models accept, and how is each encoded? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  The driving systems expose a small set of structured controls: ego motion (speed + curvature in GAIA-1/2; angle/speed, trajectory, command or goal point in Vista; yaw + velocity in DriveDreamer; 64-point trajectory in Cosmos), other agents (3D boxes in GAIA-2 and DriveDreamer; LLM-written trajectories in DriveDreamer-2), scene attributes (categorical metadata, CLIP or T5 text), and the camera rig (intrinsics/extrinsics in GAIA-2; per-view captions and view embeddings in Cosmos). Robot systems use gripper-frame action vectors (Cosmos on Bridge, 7-D) or whole-body low-level trajectories (1XWM). Camera-pose control with Plucker rays exists in Cosmos but was trained on static real-estate-style scenes. Most control interfaces were trained on proprietary data, and several are demonstrated only in figures.
• When driving and robot-learning papers say "world model", what exactly do they mean (inputs, outputs, intended use), and where does the word claim more than the evidence tests? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  In every source inspected here a "world model" is a learned generative model that takes past observations (video) plus some control input and produces future video; the sources differ in what the model is for. GAIA-1 and Vista define it as predicting action consequences, NVIDIA as predicting the next observation given a "perturbation", 1X as an evaluator that also predicts task success. Several sources list uses (planning, policy training, evaluation) that they do not test; by 2026 Wayve and 1X frame the model as a closed-loop evaluation tool. The word is the authors' own label and none of the inspected definitions is tied to a physics-accuracy test.
• How far can I trust a MEt3R-style score that rests on a learned reconstruction backbone: what do controlled-corruption, injected-warp and human-ranking tests say, and what do COLMAP-based scores do better or worse? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  Three independent tests probe MEt3R from outside. SysCON3D (v1) finds that learned backbones (DUSt3R, MASt3R, VGGT, Fast3R) produce geometry for unrelated or noise inputs, MEt3R scores such sets as more consistent than real ones in its harness (negative effect sizes, 23% overall win rate), and its rank correlation with humans on eight sparse-view NVS methods is -0.10 to 0.26 against 0.98 for a COLMAP-based score. GeCo's injected-warp test finds MEt3R near chance at spotting a deformed frame. The SGC paper, in a different setup (text/video generators, 11 entities), reports MEt3R at Spearman 0.864 with humans. The sources agree that MEt3R is no stand-alone gate; they disagree on how well it ranks generators.
• What does WorldScore's DROID-SLAM reprojection-error '3D Consistency' score measure and miss, what do named closed and open video models score on it, and how much has it been validated? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  WorldScore's 3D Consistency runs DROID-SLAM on a generated static-world clip and averages the reprojection error of co-visible pixels between consecutive frames, then maps it to 0-100 against an empirical worst case (a frame-interpolated clip between unrelated images). Reported scores: Gen-3 68.31, Hailuo 67.18, DynamiCrafter 72.90, CogVideoX-I2V 86.21, 3D scene generators LucidDreamer 90.37 and WonderWorld 86.87. Its authors check it with human pairwise tests (91.7% and 97.3% agreement for 30-point bucket gaps); an independent injected-warp test found it good on scene-level but weak on object-level deformation. In code it assumes a fixed lens and cannot score dynamic subjects.
• How is epipolar (Sampson) error computed on a generated clip, what does it say about geometry versus texture, where does it break for moving subjects, and what do papers report for named models? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  Epipolar error needs no learned reconstruction: match SIFT features between sampled frames, fit a fundamental matrix with the normalized 8-point algorithm in RANSAC, and average the Sampson distance of the matches to their epipolar lines; lower means the pair obeys one rigid camera motion. The Epipolar-Geometry paper reports 0.190 for a Wan2.1-1.3B baseline versus 0.131 after preference finetuning on Sampson-ranked pairs, with held-out-frame splat fidelity and human 'consistent' rates moving the same way (54.1% to 71.8%). It assumes a static scene (the authors say moving objects corrupt it), can be fooled by repetitive texture or a near-static clip, and GeoFlow shows a masked, short-stride variant for dynamic clips.
• What does a MEt3R score for a generated clip actually measure, how is it computed, what values do real and generated clips get, and what should I not read into it? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  MEt3R (arXiv v2) scores a pair of frames: DUSt3R reconstructs a pose-free pointmap pair, upscaled DINO features of both frames are projected into the first frame's camera, and the score is one minus the mean cosine similarity over the overlap (0 to 2, lower is better; no camera poses needed, so it works on generated video). In the paper, real videos sit slightly above zero, SVD scores 0.032, Ruyi-Mini-7B 0.047 and I2VGen-XL 0.050 on 48-frame RealEstate10K-conditioned clips, but those clips did not share a camera path and SVD moved least. It measures feature agreement after a learned reconstruction, not image quality and not (in this paper) agreement with human raters; every test in the paper is a static scene.
• How does CoSER get LLMs to write multi-character dialogue and judge it, and how could an agent add the missing speaker-blind human or model check for character voice? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  CoSER's given-circumstance acting (GCA) protocol has one LLM instance per character write speech, action and private thought, an NSP model picks speakers, an environment model replies, and a penalty-based critic lists flaws against the original conversation. Its Character Fidelity rubric covers language style but is judged by an LLM and not separately checked against humans in the text read. A speaker-blind attribution test on GCA outputs is not part of the paper; it is offered below as an untested proposal.
• Was CoSER's automatic LLM judge validated against its human raters, with what statistic and numbers, and how far can an agent trust that validation for judging character dialogue? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  Yes, partly. Table 5 reports 'alignment' = percentage agreement with the human raters on which of two models is better, ties dropped. GPT-4o as judge gives 68.6, DeepSeek-V3 65.1 and DeepSeek-R1 77.5; BLEU gets 75.3 and ROUGE-L 72.0, so only the R1 judge beats the n-gram metrics. No correlation coefficient, confidence interval or inter-annotator agreement is given. The paper's main results use the lower-aligned GPT-4o judge. The check is at the whole-score level with 7 models, not per rubric dimension such as Character Fidelity.
• Did people rate the AI-written character dialogue in CoSER, what exactly did they score, and does that overturn the earlier finding that no human-rater study of LLM-generated lines attributed to characters exists? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  Yes, with limits. CoSER v3 Section 5.3 reports three annotators who each scored 20 of 60 CoSER Test samples, rating the simulated conversations of 7 LLMs on a 1 to 10 scale while seeing the background context and the original conversations. The text read names no criterion beyond 'GCA simulation' quality (role-playing ability overall); it is not stated as character fidelity, distinguishability or voice, and no who-said-it task appears in the text read. CoSER-70B scored highest (6.783, win rate 86.9%). The earlier scoped negative is confirmed for who-said-it attribution and voice distinctiveness, and narrowed (not overturned) for human rating of LLM-generated character dialogue in general.
• Which documented techniques keep an LLM from giving a character information that character should not have, and what effect did each show? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  Six techniques have measured effects, each in a different setting, so they are not comparable head-to-head. (1) Two-pass perspective filtering (SimToM): GPT-3.5-Turbo ToMi false-belief 81.0 (+13.8 over 0-shot); single-prompt version loses the gain; human-annotated perspectives reach 96/96/82/98; mixed on OpenToM (candidate 04). (2) Per-character belief graphs (SymbolicToM): GPT-3-Davinci on self-built structure sets 20/25/39 to 92/91/90; needs chronological stories and suffers from extraction errors. (3) Visibility-tagged fact memory with scene anchoring (ReverieMem): refusal 81.2 versus 8.7 to 11.3 for retrieve-everything RAG; ablations show both layers matter; one speaker only. (4) Separate agent contexts versus an omniscient script (Zhou et al.): fewer early leaks (0.39 vs 0.13) but far fewer deals (30 vs 94 percent). (5) Awareness reminder (SimpleToM): behaviour prediction above 80 for three models, judgment low. (6) Key Facts Injection: 73 percent fewer 'known-information forge...
• How have unearned character knowledge or leaked information been detected and rated in LLM-generated stories and simulated conversations? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  Two partial measurements exist in the sources inspected; no source measured character-to-character secret leakage in generated fiction with human raters (bounded negative). (1) ConStory-Checker (arXiv 2603.05890v1) is a four-stage LLM judge with a 'Knowledge Contradictions' sub-type (characters showing knowledge or skills beyond their background, including information they could not have accessed given their background), with quoted evidence and positions; validated on 1,000 planted errors: precision 0.884, recall 0.550, F1 0.678 against human experts at F1 0.281. No sub-type rate is reported in the text read. (2) Zhou et al. (arXiv 2403.05020v4) use the early position of a name in a find-the-mutual-friend dialogue as a leakage proxy: 0.13 for an omniscient single-LLM script versus 0.39 with separate agents (450 simulations per model and mode).
• If an LLM correctly says a character does not know a secret, will it then predict that the character acts as if they do not know? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  SimpleToM (arXiv 2410.13648v2) uses two-sentence everyday stories (a hidden fact; a person acting without knowing it) and asks three questions: is X aware (mental state), what will X do (behaviour), was X's action reasonable (judgment). Models were near ceiling on awareness (GPT-4o 95.6, Claude-3.5-Sonnet 97.9) but far lower on behaviour (49.5, 67.0) and judgment (15.3, 24.9) where chance is 50; o1-preview reached 84.1 on behaviour. The failure in the authors' example is predicting the observer acts on the hidden fact. Reminders of the awareness answer lifted behaviour above 80 for three models but judgment stayed low.
• How deep can nested beliefs ('A thinks B thinks C knows') go before LLM answers fail, and what does deception do to accuracy? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  Hi-ToM (arXiv 2310.16755v1, 2023) generates stories with five agents, rooms, containers and an object, plus optional public or private (deceptive) statements, and asks five questions per story at orders 0 to 4. Four 2023 LLMs scored below 60 percent overall; joint accuracy (correct only if all lower orders are also right) fell from near perfect at order 0 to near zero at order 4; for GPT-4, going from 0 to 4 deceptive sentences per story cost 11 to 32 points of joint accuracy (orders 4 to 1), and chain-of-thought gave no substantial gain. SymbolicToM's authors report a third-order test (their own small set, D2) where per-character belief graphs helped. The Hi-ToM total story count is not stated in the text read.
• When an LLM reads a conversation where a character was absent for part of it, how often does it credit that character with the missed information, and how consistent are its answers across ways of asking? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  FANToM (Kim et al., arXiv 2310.15421v3) builds 256 multi-party conversations in which a character leaves and rejoins, then asks the same underlying question six ways (free-form belief, multiple-choice belief, answerability list and yes/no, information-access list and yes/no). The model reads everything, so an answer containing what the absent character missed is the failure. In the 2023 models tested, success on one format did not carry to the others: the best chain-of-thought GPT-4 run scored 26.6 on 'all question types' against 87.5 for humans, and the dominant list error was including characters who were unaware. Results are for 2023 models.
• Which story-based theory-of-mind benchmarks test which character knows or believes what, what does each actually ask, and how large is each? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  Five public benchmarks are inspected. ToMi: Sally-Anne object-location stories (999 narratives per OpenToM's table; paper body not read). Hi-ToM: generated stories with five agents and one question each at orders 0 to 4, optional public or private deceptive statements. OpenToM: 696 narratives with 23 first- and second-order questions each (location, multi-hop container/accessibility, attitude). FANToM: 256 conversations in which a character leaves and rejoins; belief, answerability and information-access questions. SimpleToM: two-sentence everyday stories, 1147 per category, with awareness, behaviour and judgment questions. All are template-built or LLM-generated; none uses published fiction.
• I want evidence that an AI-written character voice is convincing: what do these three papers actually test with humans, and what is the simplest check I can do first? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  Of the three, only ECHO has people judging AI-generated text, and it asks a different question: which of two answers came from the real (living, ordinary) person, not which character said a line. Deezer's paper has no human raters and no generated text. CoSER may have a human scoring study, but that is unverified here. So a newcomer should not expect any of them to say that readers can tell characters apart in AI-written dialogue. The simplest first check in ECHO's style is a blind pair test on your own cast: one human-written and one AI-written line for the same situation, pick the human one, with 50% as chance; for who-said-it checks use the protocol in S52-08.
• Does the Deezer Research paper "Distinguishing Fictional Voices" include any human evaluation of LLM-generated dialogue, and what does it actually measure about character voice? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  No. The paper (arXiv 2401.16968v1, 30 Jan 2024, Deezer Research and Loria) is fully automatic and uses only human-written novel text. It encodes each character's quotes with pretrained authorship-verification models and tests whether characters can be told apart (character vs character) and whether unseen quotes can be attributed to characters. Chapterwise: LUAR reached AUC 81.6 for character-vs-character but 53.6 for quote attribution, only slightly above chance. The authors guess the attribution task is hard "even for humans" but ran no human test. S52's negative is confirmed for this paper.
• Did the ECHO paper have people rate LLM-generated role-play answers against a real person, how many raters and items, what were the results, and were its LLM judges checked against the humans? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  ECHO (arXiv 2404.13957v1, 22 Apr 2024) does include a human evaluation of LLM-generated text: acquaintances of ten real volunteers (at least seven each) saw ten pairs of answers, one from the real person and one from a role-playing LLM, and picked the human one. The headline metric is how often the LLM answer was chosen (50% is chance). Overall rates ran 37.5 to 48.2 across methods, with GPTs closest to chance. The targets are ordinary living people, not fictional characters, and the task is human-versus-machine, not which character said a line, so S52's negative narrows rather than falls. No agreement statistic was found, and LLM judges were scored against ground truth, not validated against the human raters; they picked the LLM answer as the human one above 90% for the two GPT-4 judges.
• Do LLM-played characters keep their voice over a long dialogue, how is drift measured, and what do the authors say it converges to? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  Three open-access papers measure drift without human raters in the main loop. Li et al. (arXiv 2402.10962v4) report instruction drift within eight rounds of two-chatbot self-chat using code-based probes. Luz de Araujo et al. (arXiv 2512.12775v2, EACL 2026 per abstract) run over 100-round dialogues with eight RoleBench characters across seven models and report that fidelity (knowledge, style, in-character consistency) falls and persona behaviour reverts toward a no-persona baseline. Abdulhai et al. (arXiv 2511.00222v1) show that a line-to-line consistency metric can rise while prompt consistency falls. The judge validations are small or single-rater.
• How was PersonaGym's PersonaScore validated against human judgement, and what does its Linguistic Habits task say about voice? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  PersonaGym (arXiv 2407.18416v5, 5 Sep 2025) scores persona agents on five tasks with an ensemble of two LLM judges using 1-5 rubrics. A human study of five experts rated 1,500 responses (100 personas, three models) and reports Fleiss kappa 0.71 among annotators and average Spearman 75.1% and Kendall 62.73% between PersonaScore and humans. Linguistic Habits was the hardest task. Personas are described people (for example professions), not fictional characters, and the text and the correlation table disagree on one Kendall claim.
• Can an LLM judge reliably say which character is speaking, and what does that imply for using an LLM to check character voice? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  PersonaEval (arXiv 2508.10014v1, 6 Aug 2025) gives LLM evaluators dialogue context plus four or five described candidate roles and asks who the second speaker is. The paper reports the best LLM at around 69% top-1 accuracy against 90.8% for 20 human volunteers on a hard sample, and says models lean on speaking style while humans use addressing and intent. Items are human-authored (English novels, Chinese scripts, English explainer videos), so the result says how judges treat existing text, not how they treat generated dialogue.
• How well can people actually tell which character said a line, and what does that mean for checking my own dialogue? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  Two human studies on human-authored dialogue are in the sources. In Speaker Verification, ten non-expert annotators judging whether two sets of utterances came from the same speaker scored 56.50% accuracy on the base level when shown only utterances (67.48% when shown conversations); in PersonaEval, 20 educated volunteers scored 90.8% when choosing among named candidate roles with profiles and context, on cases chosen because a strong model got them wrong. The gap suggests context cues (who addresses whom, plot) carry most of the human signal. No human study of attributing LLM-generated lines to characters was found.
• Which English-language role-play or persona benchmarks exist, and what does each one actually score (is character-to-character voice distinctiveness among the scored things)? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  Four benchmark-style resources were read. RoleBench scores reference overlap (ROUGE-L) and judge/human win rates for single-turn answers in a role; PersonaGym scores five rubric tasks per demographic persona with an LLM-judge ensemble; PersonaEval scores whether a judge can name the speaker in human-written dialogue; the Speaker Verification work is the only one read that defines a cross-character measure (Distinction Score) on generated lines. CharacterEval is Chinese-only on its abstract page. None of the four reports a human-rated test of whether generated characters sound different from each other.

  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  Documented use (measured in the papers, on non-story environments): predicted-state quality drops with horizon when predictions are fed back (S2), a model that predicts from raw history can claim an object is unavailable or return the previous room (S2 Appendix G examples, selected), a learned simulator can let weak agents "win" it could not win for real (S1 Table 5), and one world model lost room connectivity in a looping TextWorld run (S1 Appendix H, one trajectory). Not measured: character knowledge or belief differences between characters, NPC dialogue, long narrative sessions (the longest horizon is 20 actions in Jericho; trajectories average 28.6-52 steps), or any per-category error rate for inventory. Everything about running such a tracker for authored fiction is a hypothesis.
• What exactly did arXiv 2610.06637 (v1) define and measure for long-horizon textual world modelling: environments, horizons, models, metrics, headline numbers, ablations, limits, release? active

  arXiv 2610.06637 (Wang, Gao, Yao, Dong, Walia, Das; UIC and Intuit AI Research; v1 submitted 2026-10-05 16:25:44 UTC; CC BY 4.0) fine-tunes Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507 world models that keep a JSON "textual state" and predict a whole k-action sequence in one call as sparse set/remove edits that code replays (latent-SR). It evaluates horizons 1-10 (ScienceWorld, CEO-Bench) and 1-20 (Jericho) with a fixed-target protocol against raw-history recursive/direct baselines and GPT-5.2. latent-SR has the best averages on every metric (ScienceWorld Fact-F1 92.44 vs 88.94 for obs-direct; CEO-Bench SE-score 87.35 vs 81.85; Jericho BLEU 24.5 and Score MAE 1.728), with gains growing at long horizons, but obs-recursive is better on Jericho at h1 and h5. The abstract's "nearly 30%" Jericho error drop holds against obs-direct at h10 (28.9%) but not against obs-recursive (12.2%), which is the lower-error raw-history baseline there. No code, data or weights release is stated.
• CamI2V's README ranks 'MotionCtrl' and 'CameraCtrl' below CamI2V: are those the released MotionCtrl and CameraCtrl checkpoints, and what protocol do the numbers come from? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  The CamI2V README's comparison table is the CamI2V authors' own measurement (README-reported, not independently reproduced) at 256x256 and 50k steps, in which 'MotionCtrl' and 'CameraCtrl' are their re-implementations on DynamiCrafter, labelled 'reproduced non-official'. These are different artefacts from the official CameraCtrl (AnimateDiffV3, 256x384) and MotionCtrl (VideoCrafter/SVD) checkpoints, so the ranking does not rank the official releases. For the official CameraCtrl paper-style numbers on RealEstate10K with SVD and AnimateDiff builds, see the earlier batch candidate C3-B062-W13-03, which documents that RotErr/TransErr values from different papers are not comparable across estimators and normalisations. An agent choosing a checkpoint for camera accuracy should not use the README table as evidence about the official CameraCtrl or MotionCtrl releases.
• How many frames and what resolution can each camera-pose-conditioned checkpoint produce in one pass at the pinned revisions, and what is documented about longer clips? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  Single-pass limits are short: CameraCtrl 16 frames at 256x384 (AnimateDiffV3 build); MotionCtrl 16 frames at 256x256 (VideoCrafter main branch; its UI text says 14, a documentation inconsistency within one file) and 14 frames on SVD; CamI2V 16 frames at 256x256 or 512x320; Stable Virtual Camera 21 frames per pass at 576x576 default, with the authors reporting 80 to 134 frame sequences via chunking; GEN3C 121 frames per pass (121*N-1 autoregressive), example at 704x1280 while its model card says 720*1080; ViewCrafter 25 frames at 576x1024 (or 16 frames, or 25 at 320x512); Cosmos-Predict2.5 agibot 93 frames. Timings and memory in READMEs are the authors' statements (A100 40G for ViewCrafter; ~43GB for GEN3C with offloading) and were not reproduced. A 5 to 10 second previs shot therefore needs chunking or autoregression for every system except possibly GEN3C and SVC, and only SVC and GEN3C document how to do so.
• For each camera-pose-conditioned checkpoint, what exactly is the pose convention (world-to-camera vs camera-to-world, OpenCV vs OpenGL, relative to first frame, intrinsics, units or scale)? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  Conventions differ and must be matched per system. CameraCtrl, MotionCtrl and CamI2V take world-to-camera 3x4 matrices (RealEstate10K style, OpenCV camera axes) and all re-express them relative to the first (conditioning) frame, so absolute world axes and origin drop out but the camera axis convention and handedness do not. Stable Virtual Camera takes camera-to-world matrices in the OpenGL convention and internally flips two columns to OpenCV. GEN3C works in world-to-camera with OpenCV intrinsics and scene-relative distances (scaled by an estimated centre depth). ViewCrafter is parametrised by spherical offsets about a point at the depth of the image centre and needs a hand-estimated elevation. No inspected source gives a metric unit: MotionCtrl uses a unitless 'speed', CamI2V a trace_scale_factor, SVC a camera_scale (with a documented single-view scale ambiguity), GEN3C and ViewCrafter a depth-relative scale. Cosmos-Predict2.5's loader inverts file extrinsics before use, so even wi...
• What is inside a RealEstate10K-style camera pose file, and how do CameraCtrl and CamI2V turn it into the per-pixel Plucker embedding the model sees? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  A RealEstate10K-style pose file is plain text: one row per frame holding a timestamp (or frame path), four normalised intrinsics (fx, fy, cx, cy), two unused zeros and a 3x4 world-to-camera matrix. CameraCtrl and CamI2V both read columns 1-4 and 7 onward, invert the matrix to camera-to-world, shoot one ray per pixel using a pinhole model with x right, y down, z forward, and encode each ray as a 6-vector (moment, direction). That 6-channel image per frame is the 'camera input' the network sees. CamI2V's single-image demo path replaces the file intrinsics with a default field of view (fx = 0.5 * max(H, W)), so intrinsics in a hand-written pose file may be ignored there. This is code reading at pins; no file was parsed by running code, except line/column counts computed with standard-library scripts (synthesis).
• Which open-weight camera-controllable video or novel-view generators exist, and for each one does it take an arbitrary per-frame camera path, or only presets? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  At the pinned revisions, all seven inspected systems take a camera trajectory as data; five accept free per-frame poses: CameraCtrl (16-pose RealEstate10K-style txt), MotionCtrl (one 12-float RT row per frame), CamI2V (RealEstate10K-style rows), Stable Virtual Camera (transforms.json, OpenGL convention, any number of target cameras) and GEN3C (per-frame world-to-camera matrices via NPZ or its GUI; the single-image CLI has presets only). ViewCrafter is different: it takes three short offset sequences (d_phi, d_theta, d_r, 2 to 25 values) and interpolates, so it is not a matrix-per-frame interface. Cosmos-Predict2.5 robot/multiview-agibot reads per-frame extrinsics and intrinsics for three fixed robot cameras, which is rig conditioning rather than a free camera path (the intrinsics files were not opened). Cosmos-Predict1 at the pinned commit has no file whose path names camera, gen3c, pose or trajectory (path scan only); GEN3C, built on it per its model card, is the camera-conditioned...
• Does DDEX's own Knowledge Base or implementation guidance say anything about populating ContainsAI or AiContribution beyond the schema and Data Dictionary, and where do DDEX's own documents disagree or stay silent? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  Scoped negative: in the Knowledge Base navigation (about 400 article titles, page last-modified 2026-10-06), in 14 targeted KB articles and in the ERN Part 1 sections read, no DDEX implementation guidance on populating ContainsAI or AiContribution was found; the AI fields appear only in the release-notes annex, the Data Dictionary and the value set. Within those, the Data Dictionary describes ContainsAI as a true/false Flag while the value set is three-valued (All / Partly / None); the Release-level row states no consistency rule; and DDEX's "unknown" convention (#unknown#) is for mandatory elements, so it does not supply the "unknown" value that YouTube's CSV accepts. These are observations of silence and wording, not defects proven in the standard.
• What does Deezer tell distributors and other business partners about using its AI-detection output (what is detected, who decides the consequences, what uploader declarations count), and is a supplier-facing AI delivery policy published? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  Deezer for Business's AI Detection FAQ (system dates created 2026-05-12, updated 2026-05-21) is addressed to distributors, rights holders, collecting societies and platforms who might license the detector. It says the tool classifies and tags, that consequences (exclusion, demonetising, labels, royalty treatment) are each partner's decision under their own policies, that detection reads audio patterns rather than metadata or uploader declarations, that it focuses on fully AI-generated tracks with hybrid detection "in active development", and gives company figures (39% of deliveries, up to 85% of that fraudulent, false-positive rate below 0.01%). No supplier-facing delivery policy on AI was found in the 16 business help-centre articles; so a distributor's own AI rule, not a Deezer supplier rule, is what an uploader can read.
• Can a creator remove or change Meta's AI label after posting, and which Meta pages could not be read, so an agent knows what stays unverified? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  Negative result with scope: in the three Wayback captures of the Instagram Help Center article "Label AI content on Threads" (2026-02-15, 2026-06-10, 2026-09-04) there is no sentence about removing, editing, appealing or turning off a label, and the only statement about a creator who does not label is that a label is applied if Meta detects AI generation. The Facebook and Instagram sibling articles were not located, the live Help Center pages and the ads article are JavaScript shells for curl, and the Wayback capture of the ads article carries no body text. An agent should therefore record who applied the label (creator or system) and mark removal as unverified rather than promise it.
• Across later driving video/world-model papers with nuScenes generation tables, which FID/FVD values for DriveDreamer and DriveGAN does each table print, and which arXiv version of each paper was read? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  Of seven later tables that print DriveDreamer FID/FVD, five use the arXiv v1 pair 52.6/452.0 (DrivingDiffusion v1, Drive-WM v1, Panacea v1 with columns swapped, GenAD v1 and v2 with FVD rounded to 452, UniMLVG v1-v3), one prints the v2 pair 14.9/340.8 alongside another pair (DriveDreamer-2 v1 and v2), and two (DriveDreamer-2 v1/v2 and Delphi v1/v3) print 26.8/353.2, a pair found in neither DriveDreamer v1 nor v2 HTML text. DriveGAN is printed only in Drive-WM, GenAD and UniMLVG, always at the v1 pair 73.4/502.3 (GenAD 502); none of the tables read uses the v2 pair 27.8/390.8. MagicDrive-V2/MagicDriveDiT and DiVE print no DriveDreamer FID/FVD (MagicDrive-V2 lists only DriveDreamer's resolution and frame count). DrivingDiffusion v1 (2023-10-11) predates DriveDreamer v2 (2023-11-27); Panacea v1 (11-28) and Drive-WM v1 (11-29) were posted one and two days after v2 yet print the v1 pair; the papers do not say whether v2 was seen.

  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  Six checks, each with a documented case in the papers read: (1) pin the arXiv version of the citing and the cited paper, because DriveDreamer v1 and v2 print different FID/FVD for the same method; (2) read the row condition, not only the method name, because DriveDreamer-2 quotes three different DriveDreamer pairs in one table; (3) check the metric protocol (resolution, clips, frames, FVD feature extractor), which differs across papers; (4) check whether a baseline row is quoted or recomputed (Delphi marks recomputed rows with a star and gets MagicDrive FID 46.18 against the quoted 16.20); (5) check column order and rounding (Panacea lists FVD before FID; 16.96 appears as 16.9); (6) check whether the citing paper's own numbers changed between versions (UniMLVG 8.8/60.1 in v1-v2, 5.8/36.1 in v3). This is a reading checklist for reported numbers; no new scoring was done.
• What should a dialogue editor check on AI-cleaned dialogue before delivery, given the failure modes and behaviours that vendor pages, repositories and papers actually document? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  No source read provides a delivery checklist for AI-cleaned dialogue, so this candidate assembles one from documented behaviours and labels each check as a proposal. The documented behaviours cover timing (STFT delay, chunk re-alignment, export drift, export parity), format (mono downmix, 44.1/48 kHz), level (normalisation, rescaling), over-processing (artifacts, silent waveforms, unprocessed syllables), breath leakage, word changes in generative enhancement, tool-version defects and where the audio is processed. Room tone and ADR conventions, and disclosure of AI use to a client, are covered by other batches.
• When an AI dialogue-enhancement tool sounds clean, how can a dialogue editor tell whether it has changed the words, and what do recent papers say about objective metrics and listening tests missing such changes? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  Three recent arXiv papers say generative enhancers can substitute or omit phonemes while scoring well on reference-free metrics: the URGENT 2025 P.808 study reports a generative system with top DNSMOS/NISQA and high MOS but very poor phone fidelity and says ACR tests may also miss it; Yamauchi et al. say non-intrusive filtering often fails to detect such errors; Shetu et al. find limited hallucination by WER/LPS at moderate SNR but more at very low SNR. Their remedy is a content-based metric (WER, ESTOI, LPS) alongside MOS. No source tests DeepFilterNet or Resemble Enhance for this, so applying it to production dialogue tools is a proposal.
• For the open models people name for dialogue cleanup (DeepFilterNet, Resemble Enhance, Demucs/HTDemucs), what inputs, outputs, controls and sync/level behaviour do their repositories document or imply, what do they actually claim about dialogue, and what are the per-component licences? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  At pinned commits: DeepFilterNet is a 48 kHz real-time noise suppressor whose Python CLI compensates its STFT delay by default while the Rust binary only does so with -D; Resemble Enhance averages to mono, works at 44.1 kHz, processes long audio in overlapping 30 s chunks with per-chunk peak normalisation and cross-correlation re-alignment, and is described as also restoring distortions and extending bandwidth; Demucs documents music stems only and its README (searched) never mentions speech or dialogue, so "Demucs for dialogue" is not a documented use. The Cocktail Fork paper is the film-relevant separation reference, but evaluates on synthetic single-channel mixes. Code licences are stated (MIT, or MIT/Apache-2.0); weights licences are stated only for Resemble (card says MIT), not DeepFilterNet or Demucs.
• Which dimensions of VBench-2.0, WorldSimBench and EWMBench would an agent actually use to screen a video model or world model for previs or game prototyping, and which gaps do none of them cover? active
  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  Synthesis: for previs clips, the usable pieces are VBench-2.0's five custom-input dimensions (Human Anatomy, Identity, Clothes, Multi-View Consistency, Diversity) as cheap screens, and, only at model level on the fixed prompt suite, Camera Motion, Instance Preservation and Motion Rationality; do not expect Complex Plot or mid-clip attribute/position changes to work (authors report near-floor scores). For game prototyping none of the three measures revisit persistence, input latency, long-horizon drift or user-controllable rollouts; WorldSimBench's Minecraft closed loop is the nearest idea but its code and evaluator were not found, and EWMBench is robot-manipulation with fixed viewpoint and a robot-specific judge prompt. This is a proposed screening checklist, not a tested protocol.

  EWMBench reports a domain-adapted lead (EnerVerse_FT 4.70, LTX_FT 4.55) over Kling (3.87), Hailuo (3.41) and open models (2.97-3.29) on seven models. The 'Avg.' and 'Overall' columns are plain sums (I verified to 4 decimals), so the 'overall' mixes components of very different range: the semantic Diversity term spans 0.06 while Dyn spans 0.57. Semantic scores barely separate EnerVerse_FT (2.09), Kling (2.04) and Hailuo (2.02). The human study ranks four models with no annotator count or correlation statistic. Motion best-of-three is selected using the ground-truth trajectory, and the judge prompt is robot-specific (declares human hands abnormal). Weights and data are CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 per cards and README, but the repo has no LICENSE file.

  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  EWMBench (AgiBot, arXiv v2) scores image-text-to-video models on robot manipulation: given an initial scene image, an instruction and optionally a 6D trajectory, the model generates frames that are compared with ground-truth AgiBot-World episodes. It measures scene consistency (fine-tuned DINOv2 patch similarity), end-effector motion (Hausdorff, normalised DTW and a velocity/acceleration Wasserstein term from a fine-tuned YOLO-World detector), and semantics (a Qwen2.5-VL caption compared by BLEU and CLIP score, a diversity term, and a logic check). It is robot-specific, fixed-viewpoint and needs a ground-truth trajectory per case.

  WorldSimBench validates its learned evaluator against GPT-4o with PLCC (0.60 AD, 0.43 RM in-distribution; zero-shot 0.34-0.49 AD, 0.44-0.47 RM) and accuracy for OE, but gives no evaluation-set sizes, annotator counts or agreement. The explicit and implicit modes disagree: by my computation OE rank agreement across seven models is Spearman 0.04 (0.21 on the five text-conditioned models). The authors admit inflated scores in robot manipulation and Velocity, and several statements in the text do not match the paper's own tables (GPT-4o negative-correlation attribution, 'AD variation is minimal', Open-Sora-Plan's trajectory lead). All results are for eight older open models fine-tuned on scenario data, so 'who leads' says nothing about current commercial systems.

  WorldSimBench (arXiv v1, Oct 2024) sorts predictive models into stages S0-S3 by output modality and calls S3 'actionable video' models World Simulators. It evaluates them two ways: Explicit Perceptual Evaluation (a LoRA-tuned video LLM scores generated clips on scenario-specific dimensions, trained on a 35,701-video human-feedback set) and Implicit Manipulative Evaluation (generated video is converted to actions by video-to-action models and run closed-loop in Minecraft/MineRL, CARLA and CALVIN). It evaluated eight fine-tuned open video generators; no code, dataset or evaluator release could be located (homepage buttons have no links; GitHub and Hugging Face name searches found nothing).

  The human-alignment evidence is a model-level comparison over only four systems per dimension. I recomputed the table's 'Correlation' row as Pearson r over those four points (matches to within rounding), while the figure caption says Spearman; with n=4 rank agreement is far weaker on some dimensions (0.4 for Human Anatomy and Human Interaction, average ranks, no significance test). Several dimensions have tiny score spreads between systems, and the authors admit VLM judges are unreliable for Human Anatomy and Motion Rationality. Between arXiv v1 and v2 the Instance Preservation method and values changed for the same four systems (about 71-76% to 82-94%). Leader statements: per Table II no system leads everywhere; there is no paper aggregate, and leaderboard Total Scores were not retrievable.

  @veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-23
  Netflix (rendered 2026-10-23) requires 90% of a program's final runtime to be captured on approved cameras (more flexible for nonfiction). Minimum capture attributes for approval consideration: at least 3840 photosite width (spherical); lightly compressed or uncompressed RAW, or intraframe codec with 4:2:2 or better; 10-bit or greater; at least 240 Mbps at 24 fps; scene-referred colour space (e.g. S-Gamut3, ALEXA Wide Gamut, REDWideGamut) and transfer function (S-Log3, LogC, Log3G10, V-Log); timecode jammable to an external source and written as metadata. The page lists 69 approved camera entries across ARRI, Canon, Panasonic, RED, Sony, Blackmagic and DJI, with anamorphic approval flagged per camera. Best practices: aspect ratio is a creative choice to agree with Netflix (framing calculator provided); anamorphic may need extra resolution; test each format's colour transform into the working space (ACES introduced); avoid clips spanning camera cards; discuss film capture and externa...

  In the same snapshot all 6 Veo endpoints (Veo 2 and Veo 3, incl. fast) and all 5 Sora 2 endpoints (text-to-video, pro, characters) are marked deprecated on fal, and no Runway endpoints appear in the fetched categories; older Kling (v1-v2.1 master), Seedance v1 lite, LTX-Video 13B dev, Mochi and MAGI full models are also deprecated there. Interpretation (inference): access to some closed flagship models through aggregators changes over time; Google's own Gemini API lists Gemini Omni Flash (gemini-omni-1.1-flash) as its video generation/editing model (C3-B343-03), and creator videos still use Veo 3.1 via Google Vids/Flow (C3-B344-04).
