Should you rely on this paper?

This paper is adjacent to HFEPX scope and is best used for background context, not as a primary protocol reference.

Use this as background context only. Do not make protocol decisions from this page alone.

Low-signal caution for protocol decisions

Use this page for context, then validate protocol choices against stronger HFEPX references before implementation decisions.

The available metadata is too thin to trust this as a primary source.

Abstract

Procedural mistake recognition requires identifying deviations from valid multi-step activities. We study post-completion recognition from videos with benchmark-provided step boundaries. We introduce PRISM (Procedural mistake Recognition via Interpretable Semantic Modeling), which grounds video segments in language and maps their descriptions to procedural states using a lightweight hidden Markov model trained on correct executions. Reference alignment and semantic checks identify errors in step content and order. To support evaluation across heterogeneous benchmarks, we map dataset-specific annotations to four edit-based error types: insertion, deletion, substitution, and transposition. Across three benchmarks, we compare gold and VLM-generated descriptions in raw, semantic-role, and action-object forms. Decoder controls show consistent gains from the trained local decoder over nearest-candidate matching, with additional, dataset-dependent benefits from sequence decoding. Semantic role labeling improves Any-F1 in all six matched grounded comparisons, although the gains vary across datasets and do not translate into uniform improvements under separate configuration selection. These results establish language grounding as an effective interface for explicit procedural mistake reasoning and characterize the contributions of representation and decoding.

What we could verify

These are the protocol signals we could actually recover from the available paper metadata. Use them to decide whether this paper is worth deeper reading.
