Unified visual anomaly detection seeks to train a single detector that can be deployed across categories, domains, and application scenarios. In the few-shot transfer regime, the key challenge is to estimate an episode-specific boundary for an unseen target category from a small support set. Existing approaches mainly infer this boundary from normal-side evidence and provide limited abnormal-side evidence for deployment-specific tolerance. Within the normal side, they often struggle to jointly capture local correspondences and global support-query relations, making their boundaries less reliable for unseen anomalies. To address these issues, we propose UniVAD v2, a two-sided support-conditioned boundary construction framework for unified visual anomaly detection. Built on the component-patch divide-and-conquer framework of UniVAD, UniVAD v2 strengthens the normal side with an Optimal Transport-based Relational Modeling module (OTRM), which complements retrieval with support-query matching through transport-style allocation, and an Adaptive Coordination mechanism for Retrieval and Relational Modeling (ACRRM), which estimates episode-conditioned reliabilities to fuse the two sources of evidence. On the abnormal side, a Few-Shot Abnormal Reference module (FAR) converts optional abnormal references into rejection-side evidence for boundary adjustment. Experiments on six datasets spanning industrial, logical, and medical anomaly detection demonstrate strong cross-domain generalization. Under the 1N-shot protocol, UniVAD v2 improves the mean image-level AUC over UniVAD from 83.0\% to 84.5\%, and further reaches 85.7\% in the 1N+1A-shot setting. On the MVTec-AD Severity Split (MVTec-AD-SS), UniVAD v2 achieves 96.2\% image-level AUC and 96.9\% pixel-level AUC, showing that abnormal references enable controllable boundary customization without retraining.

Pose histories provide the core kinematic evidence for 3D human motion prediction, but they lack explicit high-level semantic guidance. This paper introduces ZGL, a lightweight language-conditioned predictor that uses captions of the observed motion as a semantic prior while preserving a strong motion backbone as the main source of dynamics. We render only the observed poses, generate a one-sentence description with a vision-language model, encode the caption with a frozen CLIP-L text tower, and project it into a small set of conditioning tokens. These tokens are injected into a DCT-based spatial-temporal Transformer by compact crossattention adapters with zero gates: each adapter output is multiplied by a learnable gate initialized to zero, so the full network is numerically identical to the pose-only baseline at initialization and can learn to use language only when it reduces prediction error. On Human3.6M, ZGL improves overall MPJPE over representative motion-prediction baselines in our comparison. Results on CMUMocap further show that compact caption conditioning transfers to a second benchmark and provides a practical semantic cue for 3D human motion prediction.
