PREGO introduces an online, one-class classification framework for detecting open-set procedural mistakes in egocentric videos. It integrates an online action recognition module with a Large Language Model for symbolic next-step anticipation, identifying errors when observed actions diverge from expected sequences, achieving an F1 score of 41.8% on the Assembly101-O dataset.

Key insights

  • Abstract symbolic representations for actions, combined with in-context learning by Large Language Models, are effective for long-term procedural reasoning and next-step anticipation in an open-set, zero-shot manner.
  • The accuracy of the online step recognition component is a primary bottleneck for overall mistake detection performance, indicating that improvements in real-time video analysis could significantly enhance the system.
  • Structured prompt engineering and clear context delivery to the LLM are crucial for improving the precision and recall of symbolic action anticipation and subsequent mistake detection.
