• Abstract summary: We present a framework for few-shot temporal activity detection based on proposal regression. Our model is end-to-end trainable, takes into account the frame rate differences between few-shot activities and untrimmed test videos, and can benefit from additional few-shot examples.

• Abstract: Many interesting events in the real world are rare making preannotated machine learning ready videos a rarity in consequence. Thus, temporal activity detection models that are able to learn from a few examples are desirable. In this paper, we present a conceptually simple and general yet novel framework for few-shot temporal activity detection based on proposal regression which detects the start and end time of the activities in untrimmed videos. Our model is end-to-end trainable, takes into account the frame rate differences between few-shot activities and untrimmed test videos, and can benefit from additional few-shot examples. We experiment on three large scale benchmarks for temporal activity detection (ActivityNet1.2, ActivityNet1.3 and THUMOS14 datasets) in a few-shot setting. We also study the effect on performance of different amount of overlap with activities used to pretrain the video classification backbone and propose corrective measures for future works in this domain. Our code will be made available.

  In current query-by-activity-video literature, a common assumption is that all activities have sufficient labelled examples when learning an embedding. We propose a visual-semantic embedding network that explicitly deals with the imbalanced scenario for activity retrieval.

  Temporal Activity Detection aims to predict activity classes per frame. Due to the expensive frame-level annotations required for detection, the scale of detection datasets is limited. This work proposes a novel self-supervised pretraining method for detection leveraging classification labels.

  We show that it is possible to learn to localize actions in untrimmed videos when only one/few trimmed examples of the target action are available at test time. We propose a network that learns to estimate Temporal Similarity Matrices (TSMs) that model a fine-grained similarity pattern between pairs of videos. Our method achieves performance comparable or better to state-of-the-art fully-supervised, few-shot learning methods.

  We propose a real-time online system to perform activity detection on untrimmed security videos.

With training of just a few fully connected layers we reach comparable results to prior art on both few shot video classification and temporal detection tasks.

  We propose a novel task setting called zero-shot temporal activity detection (ZSTAD), where activities that have never been seen in training can still be detected. We design an end-to-end deep network based on R-C3D as the architecture for this solution. Experiments on both the THUMOS14 and the Charades datasets show promising performance in terms of detecting unseen activities.
