• Abstract summary: We propose a self-supervised visual learning method by predicting the variable playback speeds of a video. We learn the meta-temporal visual variations in the video by leveraging the variations in the visual appearance according to playback speeds. We also propose a new layer dependable temporal group normalization method that can be applied to 3D convolutional networks.

• Abstract: We propose a self-supervised visual learning method by predicting the variable playback speeds of a video. Without semantic labels, we learn the spatio-temporal visual representation of the video by leveraging the variations in the visual appearance according to different playback speeds under the assumption of temporal coherence. To learn the spatio-temporal visual variations in the entire video, we have not only predicted a single playback speed but also generated clips of various playback speeds and directions with randomized starting points. Hence the visual representation can be successfully learned from the meta information (playback speeds and directions) of the video. We also propose a new layer dependable temporal group normalization method that can be applied to 3D convolutional networks to improve the representation learning performance where we divide the temporal features into several groups and normalize each one using the different corresponding parameters. We validate the effectiveness of our method by fine-tuning it to the action recognition and video retrieval tasks on UCF-101 and HMDB-51.

  Self-supervised video representation learning aims at maximizing similarity between different temporal segments of one video. We propose Latent Time Navigation (LTN) to capture fine-grained motions. Our experimental analysis suggests that learning video representations by LTN consistently improves performance of action classification.

  We focus on contrastive methods for self-supervised video representation learning. A common paradigm in contrastive learning is to construct positive pairs by sampling different data views for the same instance, with different data instances as negatives. We propose an 'augmentation aware' contrastive learning framework, where we explicitly provide a sequence of augmentation parameterisations. We show that our method encodes valuable information about specified spatial or temporal augmentation, and in doing so also achieve state-of-the-art performance on a number of video benchmarks.

  We study unsupervised video representation learning that seeks to learn both motion and appearance features from unlabeled video only.

We propose a new way to perceive the playback speed and exploit the relative speed between two video clips as labels.

  This paper addresses the problem of self-supervised video representation learning from a new perspective -- by video pace prediction. It stems from the observation that human visual system is sensitive to video pace. We randomly sample training clips in different paces and ask a neural network to identify the pace for each video clip.
