• Abstract summary: We present Aware Temporal Embedding Network (TAEN) for few-shot action recognition. We demonstrate the effectiveness of TAEN on two few shot tasks, video classification and temporal action detection. 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.

• Abstract: Classification of new class entities requires collecting and annotating hundreds or thousands of samples that is often prohibitively costly. Few-shot learning suggests learning to classify new classes using just a few examples. Only a small number of studies address the challenge of few-shot learning on spatio-temporal patterns such as videos. In this paper, we present the Temporal Aware Embedding Network (TAEN) for few-shot action recognition, that learns to represent actions, in a metric space as a trajectory, conveying both short term semantics and longer term connectivity between action parts. We demonstrate the effectiveness of TAEN on two few shot tasks, video classification and temporal action detection and evaluate our method on the Kinetics-400 and on ActivityNet 1.2 few-shot benchmarks. 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, while reaching state-of-the-art in certain scenarios.

  Fine-grained action recognition is attracting increasing attention due to the emerging demand of specific action understanding in real-world applications. We propose a few-shot fine-grained action recognition problem, aiming to recognize novel fine-grained actions with only few samples given for each class. Although progress has been made in coarse-grained actions, existing few-shot recognition methods encounter two issues handling fine-grained actions.

  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 new paradigm of unsupervised few-shot learning to repair the deficiencies. We solve the few-shot tasks in two phases: meta-training a transferable feature extractor via contrastive self-supervised learning. Our method achieves state of-the-art performance in a variety of established few-shot tasks on the standard few-shot visual classification datasets.

We present two novel approaches that yield further improvement.

Our framework can also be used solely for Zero-shot detection and Few-shot detection tasks.
