Key Points

  • The paper proposes EgoSelf, an egocentric assistant framework that personalizes responses by leveraging long-term first-person interaction data.
  • It builds a graph-based interaction memory that captures temporal and semantic relationships among past events and entities to derive user-specific profiles.
  • The personalization component is framed as a prediction task, where the model forecasts likely future interactions based on an individual’s historical behavior stored in the graph.
  • Experiments reported in the study indicate that EgoSelf improves the performance of personalized egocentric assistance compared with relevant baselines.
  • The project provides code via the associated website, enabling researchers to reproduce and build upon the approach.

Abstract

Egocentric assistants often rely on first-person view data to capture user behavior and context for personalized services. Since different users exhibit distinct habits, preferences, and routines, such personalization is essential for truly effective assistance. However, effectively integrating long-term user data for personalization remains a key challenge. To address this, we introduce EgoSelf, a system that includes a graph-based interaction memory constructed from past observations and a dedicated learning task for personalization. The memory captures temporal and semantic relationships among interaction events and entities, from which user-specific profiles are derived. The personalized learning task is formulated as a prediction problem where the model predicts possible future interactions from individual user's historical behavior recorded in the graph. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of EgoSelf as a personalized egocentric assistant.
