MotionHalluc: Diagnosing Kinematic Hallucinations in Fine-Grained Motion Reasoning
Motion instruction generation in cross-video comparison aims to produce corrective feedback that describes the differences between a query and a reference motion. However, existing models often generate instructions that exhibit motion hallucinations, failing to reflect actual kinematic differences between paired videos. To systematically investigate these hallucinations, we introduce MotionHalluc, a dedicated benchmark for evaluating motion hallucinations in paired-video comparison. MotionHalluc comprises 1540 fine-grained questions over 553 video pairs, evaluating hallucinations along three core dimensions: (1)directional hallucination, (2)attributional hallucination, and (3)temporal hallucination. Extensive evaluations of state-of-the-art large multimodal models demonstrate high susceptibility to these hallucinations. Furthermore, we provide Perceive-Parse-Verify (PPV) as a training-free measurements extraction and verification baseline that converts candidate instructions into executable measurement queries and supplies kinematic measurements at inference time. Our results show that this simple measurements injection yields an average 10.6% performance gain across models, suggesting that motion reasoning with explicit quantitative measurements is a key factor in reducing hallucinations in cross-video comparison. Our code and dataset will be made publicly available upon acceptance.
Dynamic Dual-Granularity Skill Bank for Agentic RL
Agentic reinforcement learning (RL) can benefit substantially from reusable experience, yet existing skill-based methods mainly extract trajectory-level guidance and often lack principled mechanisms for maintaining an evolving skill memory. We propose D2Skill, a dynamic dual-granularity skill bank for agentic RL that organizes reusable experience into task skills for high-level guidance and step skills for fine-grained decision support and error correction. D2Skill jointly trains the policy and skill bank through paired baseline and skill-injected rollouts under the same policy, using their performance gap to derive hindsight utility signals for both skill updating and policy optimization. Built entirely from training-time experience, the skill bank is continuously expanded through reflection and maintained with utility-aware retrieval and pruning. Experiments on ALFWorld and WebShop with Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct and Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507 show that D2Skill consistently improves success rates over skill-free baselines by 10-20 points. Further ablations and analyses show that both dual-granularity skill modeling and dynamic skill maintenance are critical to these gains, while the learned skills exhibit higher utility, transfer across evaluation settings, and introduce only modest training overhead.
