• Abstract summary: We propose a novel model for semi-supervised few-shot atomic action recognition. Our model features unsupervised and contrastive video embedding, loose action alignment, multi-head feature comparison, and attention-based aggregation. Experiments show that our model can attain high accuracy on representative atomic action datasets outperforming their respective state-of-the-art classification accuracy in full supervision setting.

• Abstract: Despite excellent progress has been made, the performance on action recognition still heavily relies on specific datasets, which are difficult to extend new action classes due to labor-intensive labeling. Moreover, the high diversity in Spatio-temporal appearance requires robust and representative action feature aggregation and attention. To address the above issues, we focus on atomic actions and propose a novel model for semi-supervised few-shot atomic action recognition. Our model features unsupervised and contrastive video embedding, loose action alignment, multi-head feature comparison, and attention-based aggregation, together of which enables action recognition with only a few training examples through extracting more representative features and allowing flexibility in spatial and temporal alignment and variations in the action. Experiments show that our model can attain high accuracy on representative atomic action datasets outperforming their respective state-of-the-art classification accuracy in full supervision setting.

  Action-slot is a slot attention-based approach that learns visual action-centric representations. Our key idea is to design action slots that are capable of paying attention to regions where atomic activities occur. To address the limitation, we collect a synthetic dataset called TACO, which is four times larger than OATS.

We divide a complicated action into several sub-actions by carefully designed hierarchical clustering. We also adopt the Earth Mover's Distance in the transportation problem to measure the similarity between video samples in terms of sub-action representations.

  We tackle the problem of weakly-supervised fine-grained temporal action detection in videos for the first time. We propose to model actions as the combinations of reusable atomic actions which are automatically discovered from data. Our approach constructs a visual representation hierarchy of four levels: clip level, atomic action level, fine action class level and coarse action class level, with supervision at each level.

  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.

  Action-value estimation is a critical component of reinforcement learning (RL) methods. We conjecture that leveraging the structure of multi-dimensional action spaces is a key ingredient for learning good representations of action. We show the effectiveness of our approach on a myriad of domains: illustrative prediction problems under minimal confounding effects, Atari 2600 games, and discretised physical control benchmarks.
