Behavioral Geometric Supervision Aligns Video Foundation Models with Human Social Perception

ArXi:2510.01502v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Current video foundation models, including the strongest self-supervised models such as V-JEPA2, fail to capture how humans organize social information in dynamic scenes. For example, across a range of diverse vision models tested, none were able to predict human similarity judgments to social video clips as well as a sentence embedding model of the caption text (MPNet). We show this gap in vision model performance can be closed by a compact behavioral supervisory signal. We.
