Architecture-Led Analysis of Body Language Detection with VLMs
Analysis
Key Takeaways
- •Highlights the importance of understanding VLM architectural properties for practical applications.
- •Emphasizes the limitations of VLMs, such as the difference between syntactic and semantic correctness.
- •Provides insights into designing robust interfaces and planning evaluation for VLM-based systems.
- •Focuses on the practical aspects of building a video-to-artifact pipeline for body language detection.
“Structured outputs can be syntactically valid while semantically incorrect, schema validation is structural (not geometric correctness), person identifiers are frame-local in the current prompting contract, and interactive single-frame analysis returns free-form text rather than schema-enforced JSON.”
