• Abstract: 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, e.g., slow motion, a widely used technique in film making. Specifically, given a video played in natural pace, we randomly sample training clips in different paces and ask a neural network to identify the pace for each video clip. The assumption here is that the network can only succeed in such a pace reasoning task when it understands the underlying video content and learns representative spatio-temporal features. In addition, we further introduce contrastive learning to push the model towards discriminating different paces by maximizing the agreement on similar video content. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, we conduct extensive experiments on action recognition and video retrieval tasks with several alternative network architectures. Experimental evaluations show that our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance for self-supervised video representation learning across different network architectures and different benchmarks. The code and pre-trained models are available at https://github.com/laura-wang/video-pace.

  We study self-supervised video representation learning, which is a challenging task due to 1) a lack of labels for explicit supervision and 2) unstructured and noisy visual information. Existing methods mainly use contrastive loss with video clips as the instances and learn visual representation by discriminating instances from each other. In this paper, we observe that the consistency between positive samples is the key to learn robust video representations.

  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.
