Fine-Grained Action Recognition with Cross-Attentive Latent Sparse Experts
Fine-grained human action recognition (FHAR) must distinguish visually similar actions that differ mainly in body configuration, timing, or local appearance. RGB representations retain visual context but often suppress joint-level geometry, whereas skeleton representations encode kinematics but discard dense spatial detail. We introduce FineX, which factorizes fine-grained cues into RGB appearance, pose heatmap geometry, and skeletal-graph topology. Pairwise cross-attention enables symmetric, stream-preserving information exchange, followed by a streamwise latent sparse Mixture-of-Experts that
