HST-HGN: Heterogeneous Spatial-Temporal Hypergraph Networks with Bidirectional State Space Models for Global Fatigue Assessment

arXiv:2604.08435v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: It remains challenging to assess driver fatigue from untrimmed videos under constrained computational budgets, due to the difficulty of modeling long-range temporal dependencies in subtle facial expressions. Some existing approaches rely on computationally heavy architectures, whereas others employ traditional lightweight pairwise graph networks, despite their limited capacity to model high-order synergies and global temporal context. Therefore, we propose HST-HGN, a novel Heterogeneous Spatial-Temporal Hypergraph Network driven by Bidi
