### A new standard for Egocentric annotations

-
Rich egocentric annotation is of increasing interest in the physical AI and robotics world, largely because of recent work demonstrating that it is highly effective as a scalable pretraining objective for world action models and vision language action models for [robotic manipulation tasks](https://www.dyna.co/dyna-2). More broadly, recent work has established both the volume and the diversity of pretraining data as essential for reliable control: Physical Intelligence has shown that [compositional generalization](https://www.pi.website/blog/pi07) can emerge from diverse multimodal data and conditioning, Generalist that [task-specific mastery](https://generalistai.com/blog/gen-1) can be achieved by scaling high-fidelity physical-interaction data, and Dyna that [scaling egocentric data](https://www.dyna.co/dyna-2) is one viable path to human-level control.

Despite this increasing attention on egocentric data, it is still not perfectly well-understood which set of annotations serve as the best pretraining objectives or how best to measure the quality of synthetic labeling harnesses for these tasks.

The most widely adopted egocentric benchmark for subtask segmentation, [WGO-Bench](https://macrodata.co/blog/annotating-robot-video-subtasks), has been a remarkably useful contribution to the ecosystem and has since become a de facto standard for evaluating the quality of a model or harness on describing the events in an egocentric video. Despite this, it still has several gaps in coverage which we seek to address with this release.

**Table 2.** Four model outputs for one human segment, “sweeping the stairs” from 0 to 5 s, scored by permissible subsegment Jaccard and WGO-Bench semantic F1. The ground-truth track is the human label; the model track is the prediction. Solid segments agree with the ground truth under the judge; dashed segments do not.

While calibrating annotators, we frequently ran into Case B, as illustrated in Table 2: a valid, more detailed breakdown gets a score of zero under one-to-one matching and full credit under ours. Case C shows we still give partial credit for the part the model got right, where a fixed IoU cutoff gives nothing. (WGO-Bench’s semantic F1 pairs segments one-to-one, counts a pair only when its temporal IoU is at least 0.75 and the judge accepts the labels).

Mathematically this can be expressed as

$$

\mathrm{CHF} = \frac{\displaystyle\sum_{(f,h) \in G} \mathbb{1}\left[\mathrm{Centroid}(\hat{p}_{f,h}) \in g_{f,h}\right]}{|G| + |P_{\text{out}}|}
|
| 291 |
$$
|
| 292 |
|

Where G is the set of (frame, hand) pairs with a human box at 30 fps and g(f,h) is that box. p̂(f,h) is the model’s box for hand h at frame f: its own box at that frame, or the linear interpolation between its two nearest boxes; frames outside the span the model covered count as misses. P_out is the set of predicted boxes outside the frames the human labels cover, and the indicator is 1 when the centroid of p̂(f,h) falls inside g(f,h).

It can be expressed mathematically as follows:

\mathrm{PSJ}(P, T) = \frac{\displaystyle\sum_{p \in P} m(p, T) + \sum_{t \in T} m(t, P)}{\displaystyle\sum_{p \in P} |I(p)| + \sum_{t \in T} |I(t)|}
