• Abstract: Temporal action proposal generation plays an important role in video action understanding, which requires localizing high-quality action content precisely. However, generating temporal proposals with both precise boundaries and high-quality action content is extremely challenging. To address this issue, we propose a novel Boundary Content Graph Neural Network (BC-GNN) to model the insightful relations between the boundary and action content of temporal proposals by the graph neural networks. In BC-GNN, the boundaries and content of temporal proposals are taken as the nodes and edges of the graph neural network, respectively, where they are spontaneously linked. Then a novel graph computation operation is proposed to update features of edges and nodes. After that, one updated edge and two nodes it connects are used to predict boundary probabilities and content confidence score, which will be combined to generate a final high-quality proposal. Experiments are conducted on two mainstream datasets: ActivityNet-1.3 and THUMOS14. Without the bells and whistles, BC-GNN outperforms previous state-of-the-art methods in both temporal action proposal and temporal action detection tasks.

  Scene graph generation (SGG) captures the relationships between objects in an image and creates a structured graph-based representation. Existing SGG methods have a limited ability to accurately predict detailed relationships. A new approach to the modeling multiobject relationships, called edge dual scene graph generation (EdgeSGG), is proposed herein.

  We present an augmented transformer with adaptive graph network (ATAG) to exploit both long-range and local temporal contexts for TAPG. Specifically, we enhance the vanilla transformer by equipping a snippet actionness loss and a front block, dubbed augmented transformer. An adaptive graph convolutional network (GCN) is proposed to build local temporal context by mining the position information and difference between adjacent features.
