• Abstract: Anticipating human actions is an important task that needs to be addressed for the development of reliable intelligent agents, such as self-driving cars or robot assistants. While the ability to make future predictions with high accuracy is crucial for designing the anticipation approaches, the speed at which the inference is performed is not less important. Methods that are accurate but not sufficiently fast would introduce a high latency into the decision process. Thus, this will increase the reaction time of the underlying system. This poses a problem for domains such as autonomous driving, where the reaction time is crucial. In this work, we propose a simple and effective multi-modal architecture based on temporal convolutions. Our approach stacks a hierarchy of temporal convolutional layers and does not rely on recurrent layers to ensure a fast prediction. We further introduce a multi-modal fusion mechanism that captures the pairwise interactions between RGB, flow, and object modalities. Results on two large-scale datasets of egocentric videos, EPIC-Kitchens-55 and EPIC-Kitchens-100, show that our approach achieves comparable performance to the state-of-the-art approaches while being significantly faster.

We propose to adopt three factorized attention modules with different neighbors for information aggregation and different position encoding styles to capture their relations.

  Existing agent-centric methods have demonstrated outstanding performance on public benchmarks. We introduce the K-nearest neighbor attention with relative pose encoding (KNARPE), a novel attention mechanism allowing the pairwise-relative representation to be used by Transformers. By sharing contexts among agents and reusing the unchanged contexts, our approach is as efficient as scene-centric methods, while performing on par with state-of-the-art agent-centric methods.
