Patent number: 12386890Abstract: Systems and methods for augmenting large video language models (LVLMs) by incorporation of a plausible action anticipation framework. The framework augments the LVLM by taking into account the aspect of plausibility in an action sequence. Two objective functions directed to counterfactual-based plausible action sequence learning loss and a long-horizon action repetition loss are derived and used to train the LVLM to generate plausible anticipated action sequences. The augmented LVLM is then able to produce sequences whereby each action in the sequence is temporally and spatially factual with respect to the others.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2024Date of Patent: August 12, 2025Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Himangi Mittal, Nakul Agarwal, Shao-Yuan Lo, Kwonjoon Lee
