• Abstract summary: Graph convolutional networks (GCNs) are promising way to leverage structure information to learn structure representations. We propose a variant of GCNs to leverage the powerful self-attention mechanism to adaptively sparsify a complete action graph in the temporal space. Our method could dynamically attend to important past frames and construct a sparse graph to apply in the GCN framework, well-capturing the structure information in action sequences.

• Abstract: Generating long-range skeleton-based human actions has been a challenging problem since small deviations of one frame can cause a malformed action sequence. Most existing methods borrow ideas from video generation, which naively treat skeleton nodes/joints as pixels of images without considering the rich inter-frame and intra-frame structure information, leading to potential distorted actions. Graph convolutional networks (GCNs) is a promising way to leverage structure information to learn structure representations. However, directly adopting GCNs to tackle such continuous action sequences both in spatial and temporal spaces is challenging as the action graph could be huge. To overcome this issue, we propose a variant of GCNs to leverage the powerful self-attention mechanism to adaptively sparsify a complete action graph in the temporal space. Our method could dynamically attend to important past frames and construct a sparse graph to apply in the GCN framework, well-capturing the structure information in action sequences. Extensive experimental results demonstrate the superiority of our method on two standard human action datasets compared with existing methods.

  We propose a Graph Structure Self-Contrasting (GSSC) framework that learns graph structural information without message passing. The proposed framework is based purely on Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLPs), where the structural information is only implicitly incorporated as prior knowledge. It first applies structural sparsification to remove potentially uninformative or noisy edges in the neighborhood, and then performs structural self-contrasting in the sparsified neighborhood to learn robust node representations.

Long-temporal human actions supervise the model to generate multiple scene graphs that conform to the global constraints and avoid the model being unable to learn the tail predicates.

  Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) have long defined the state-of-the-art in skeleton-based action recognition. They tend to optimize the adjacency matrix jointly with the model weights. This process causes a gradual decay of bone connectivity data, culminating in a model indifferent to the very topology it sought to map. We propose an innovative pathway that encodes bone connectivity by harnessing the power of graph distances.

  Graph convolutional networks (GCNs) can model the human body skeletons as spatial and temporal graphs. In this work, we propose pose-guided GCN (PG-GCN), a multi-modal framework for high-performance human action recognition. The core idea of this module is to utilize a trainable graph to aggregate features from the skeleton stream with that of the pose stream, which leads to a network with more robust feature representation ability.

  Graph convolutional networks (GCNs) are widely adopted in skeleton-based action recognition. We argue that the performance of recent proposed skeleton-based action recognition methods is limited by the following factors. Inspired by the recent attention mechanism, we propose a multi-grain contextual focus module, termed MCF, to capture the action associated relation information.

  Graph convolutional networks (GCNs) can effectively capture the features of related nodes and improve the performance of the model. Existing methods based on GCNs have two problems. First, the consistency of temporal and spatial features is ignored for extracting features node by node and frame by frame. We propose a novel model called Temporal Graph Networks (TGN) for action recognition.
