Human-object interaction detection (HOID) has traditionally been formulated as a supervised detection problem over predefined interaction categories. While such paradigms achieve strong performance on closed-set benchmarks, they fundamentally entangle interaction understanding with dataset-specific supervision, limiting their ability to generalize to open-world and compositional scenarios. Recent HOI detectors attempt to leverage MLLMs through prompting strategies to transfer interaction-specific knowledge. However, such prompt-based approaches primarily focus on extracting discriminative representations from pretrained models, while underexploring their inherent multimodal reasoning capabilities. As a result, they struggle to provide informative contextual reasoning for ambiguous and open-world interaction scenarios. In this work, we present AgentHOI, a training-free, agentic framework that transfers the generalist multimodal reasoning capabilities of foundation models to HOI detection in the wild. Instead of learning interaction classifiers, AgentHOI modularly orchestrates complementary vision foundation modules to perform open-ended semantic reasoning and spatial grounding in a coordinated manner. To address the challenges of incomplete interaction discovery and ambiguous localization in complex scenes, we introduce two key mechanisms: (1) Context-aware Multi-round Reasoning, which progressively refines interaction hypotheses to ensure exhaustive and compositional HOI discovery, and (2) Multifaceted Interaction Localization, which enhances grounding precision by generating instance-specific descriptions that integrate semantic, spatial, and appearance cues. Extensive experiments demonstrate that AgentHOI achieves superior performance over state-of-the-art supervised and weakly supervised methods in real-world settings, despite requiring no HOID data for training.
Identity-preserving video generation aims to synthesize videos that follow natural-language instructions while maintaining the visual identity of a given subject. Recent commercial video generation models have achieved strong visual quality and motion realism, but they still suffer from identity drift, incomplete instruction following, and missing visual details under complex prompts. Since these models are usually closed-source black boxes, directly improving them through parameter optimization is often infeasible. We therefore propose Agentic Enhancement and Semantic Repair (AESR), a lightweight enhancement framework for identity-preserving video generation. To improve prompt construction before generation and mitigate the above failures, AESR introduces a global agentic prompt enhancement module. This module learns model-specific prompting formats from official documentation, acquires human-centered video generation priors from human-interaction data, and accumulates test-domain identity-preserving generation experience into a reusable playbook through an agentic loop. To further repair errors in videos generated with enhanced prompts, AESR introduces a sample-level visual semantic repair module, which uses a VLM to locate erroneous video segments and design repair instructions, edits selected frames into explicit visual references, and guides a video editing model to fix local semantic or identity-related errors. We also adopt a lightweight Mixture-of-Experts selection strategy to choose reliable outputs from different generation and refinement paths. Under the official evaluation protocol of the ACM MM 2026 Identity-Preserving Video Generation Challenge, our system MIPL\_Video ranked first in Track 1, demonstrating the effectiveness of AESR for practical identity-preserving video generation.
