EgoIntent: A Pre-Outcome Micro-Step Benchmark for Understanding What, Why, and Next
Egocentric video provides a natural modality for studying human behavior, but conventional visual understanding captures mainly observable scenes, objects, and actions rather than the latent goals that organize them. Existing intent benchmarks typically focus on coarse event-level goals and overlook how intent evolves across procedural steps.
