• Abstract: Weakly supervised action localization is a challenging task with extensive applications, which aims to identify actions and the corresponding temporal intervals with only video-level annotations available. This paper analyzes the order-sensitive and location-insensitive properties of actions, and embodies them into a self-augmented learning framework to improve the weakly supervised action localization performance. To be specific, we propose a novel two-branch network architecture with intra/inter-action shuffling, referred to as ActShufNet. The intra-action shuffling branch lays out a self-supervised order prediction task to augment the video representation with inner-video relevance, whereas the inter-action shuffling branch imposes a reorganizing strategy on the existing action contents to augment the training set without resorting to any external resources. Furthermore, the global-local adversarial training is presented to enhance the model's robustness to irrelevant noises. Extensive experiments are conducted on three benchmark datasets, and the results clearly demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method.

  We propose a fully unsupervised framework that learns action representations suitable for the action segmentation task from the single input video itself. Our method is a deep metric learning approach rooted in a shallow network with a triplet loss operating on similarity distributions. Under these circumstances, we successfully recover temporal boundaries in the learned action representations with higher quality compared with existing unsupervised approaches.

  Weakly-supervised temporal action localization aims to locate action regions and identify action categories in unsupervised videos simultaneously.

We propose a novel weakly-supervised temporal action localization method by inferring salient snippet-feature.

We term our method RefactorNet, which first explicitly factorizes the action content and regularizes its co-occurrence features.
