We present a dataset for force-grounded, cross-view articulated manipulation that couples what is seen with what is done and what is felt during real human interaction. The dataset contains 3048 sequences across 381 articulated objects in 38 environments. Each object is operated in four embodiments - (i) human hand, (ii) human hand with a wrist-mounted camera, (iii) handheld UMI gripper, and (iv) a custom Hoi! gripper, where the tool embodiment provides end-effector forces and tactile sensing. Our dataset offers a holistic view of interaction understanding from video, enabling researchers to evaluate how well methods transfer between human and robotic viewpoints, but also investigate underexplored modalities such as interaction forces.

AI-based image reconstruction models are increasingly deployed in clinical workflows to improve image quality from noisy data, such as low-dose X-rays or accelerated MRI scans. However, these models are typically evaluated using pixel-level metrics like PSNR, leaving their impact on downstream diagnostic performance and fairness unclear. We introduce a scalable evaluation framework that applies reconstruction and diagnostic AI models in tandem, which we apply to two tasks (classification, segmentation), three reconstruction approaches (U-Net, GAN, diffusion), and two data types (X-ray, MRI) to assess the potential downstream implications of reconstruction. We find that conventional reconstruction metrics poorly track task performance, where diagnostic accuracy remains largely stable even as reconstruction PSNR declines with increasing image noise. Fairness metrics exhibit greater variability, with reconstruction sometimes amplifying demographic biases, particularly regarding patient sex. However, the overall magnitude of this additional bias is modest compared to the inherent biases already present in diagnostic models. To explore potential bias mitigation, we adapt two strategies from classification literature to the reconstruction setting, but observe limited efficacy. Overall, our findings emphasize the importance of holistic performance and fairness assessments throughout the entire medical imaging workflow, especially as generative reconstruction models are increasingly deployed.

A probabilistic graphical model is proposed, modeling the joint model parameter and multiplier evolution, with a hypervolume based likelihood, promoting multi-objective descent in structural risk minimization. We address multi-objective model parameter optimization via a surrogate single objective penalty loss with time-varying multipliers, equivalent to online scheduling of loss landscape. The multi-objective descent goal is dispatched hierarchically into a series of constraint optimization sub-problems with shrinking bounds according to Pareto dominance. The bound serves as setpoint for the low-level multiplier controller to schedule loss landscapes via output feedback of each loss term. Our method forms closed loop of model parameter dynamic, circumvents excessive memory requirements and extra computational burden of existing multi-objective deep learning methods, and is robust against controller hyperparameter variation, demonstrated on domain generalization tasks with multi-dimensional regularization losses.
