# Targeted ICASSP 2027 manuscript

This directory is an independent acceptance-target manuscript. It does not
modify or replace `../main/`.

## Positioning

The paper is deliberately framed as a causal global--local **audit**, because
that is the strongest complete story supported by archived evidence:

- global Omni context and recent audio are complementary across all horizons;
- most measured benefit is dense forecasting and wearer-offset anticipation;
- pooled and current-frame person vision do not establish speaker grounding;
- a three-seed causal oracle shows that timely visible-participant activity is
  informative, while identity continuity is not currently necessary.

No semantic ENTRY/YIELD, addressee, online-detector, or real-time-throughput
claim is made. The deployable matrix is explicitly single-seed and exploratory.

## Build

```bash
cd manuscript/targeted
make
```

The editable sources are `main.tex`, `references.bib`, and
`figures/system_overview.tex`. Generated files are written to `build/`.

The build currently uses the repository's unmodified ICASSP 2026 style assets
as a compatibility preview. Replace the `template_dir` in `latexmkrc` with the
official ICASSP 2027 author kit before submission and repeat all page/layout
checks.
