Active Intelligence in Video Avatars via Closed-loop World Modeling

Paper type: CVPR Main Conference.

Download: https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.20615

Abstract: 论文探讨了视频数字人从“被动执行”向“主动感知与决策”的转变,提出了 L-IVA 任务基准及 ORCA(主动推理与闭环行动)框架。ORCA 通过“观察-思考-行动-反思(OTAR)”闭环机制,赋予数字人自主规划、记忆维护和主动提问能力。配合发布的 L-IVA 评测集,实验证明 ORCA 在长时序、多步任务场景中显著优于现有方法,为构建主动智能视频助手提供了新思路。
