Abstract
In this paper, we present XInsight Lab's solution to the micro-gesture classification track of the 4th MiGA Challenge at IJCAI 2026, in which our solution ranked first and achieved a new state-of-the-art result. We propose a multimodal ensemble framework that integrates a self-supervised RGB-based model with supervised multi-stream models from previous solutions. The self-supervised RGB model is pretrained on 120K unlabeled clips via masked video modeling and then fine-tuned on iMiGUE. This simple yet effective RGB baseline achieves 69.224% top-1 accuracy on the iMiGUE test set, demonstrating the benefit of learning transferable representations from unlabeled in-domain videos. By incorporating this model as a complementary branch, the final ensemble reaches 74.419% top-1 accuracy, surpassing the previous state of the art by 1.206 percentage points. Experimental results on iMiGUE, including ablation studies on the ensemble strategy, validate the effectiveness of self-supervised RGB representation learning for micro-gesture recognition.
