• Abstract summary: Conal Neural Networks with 3D kernels (3D-CNNs) currently achieve state-of-the-art results in video recognition tasks. We propose dissected 3D-CNNs, where the intermediate volumes of the network are dissected and propagated over depth (time) dimension for future calculations. For action classification, the dissected version of ResNet models performs 77-90% fewer computations at online operation.

• Abstract: Convolutional Neural Networks with 3D kernels (3D-CNNs) currently achieve state-of-the-art results in video recognition tasks due to their supremacy in extracting spatiotemporal features within video frames. There have been many successful 3D-CNN architectures surpassing the state-of-the-art results successively. However, nearly all of them are designed to operate offline creating several serious handicaps during online operation. Firstly, conventional 3D-CNNs are not dynamic since their output features represent the complete input clip instead of the most recent frame in the clip. Secondly, they are not temporal resolution-preserving due to their inherent temporal downsampling. Lastly, 3D-CNNs are constrained to be used with fixed temporal input size limiting their flexibility. In order to address these drawbacks, we propose dissected 3D-CNNs, where the intermediate volumes of the network are dissected and propagated over depth (time) dimension for future calculations, substantially reducing the number of computations at online operation. For action classification, the dissected version of ResNet models performs 77-90% fewer computations at online operation while achieving ~5% better classification accuracy on the Kinetics-600 dataset than conventional 3D-ResNet models. Moreover, the advantages of dissected 3D-CNNs are demonstrated by deploying our approach onto several vision tasks, which consistently improved the performance.

  We reexamine the design distinctions and test the limits of what a sparse CNN can achieve. We propose two key components, i.e., adaptive receptive fields (spatially) and adaptive relation, to bridge the gap. This exploration led to the creation of Omni-Adaptive 3D CNNs (OA-CNNs), a family of networks that integrates a lightweight module.

  Gate-Fuse (GSF) is a novel-temporal feature extraction module which controls interactions in-temporal decomposition and learns to adaptively route features through time and combine them in a data dependent manner. GSF can be inserted into existing 2D CNNs to convert them into efficient and high performing, with negligible parameter and compute overhead. We perform an extensive analysis of GSF using two popular 2D CNN families and achieve state-of-the-art or competitive performance on five standard action recognition benchmarks.
