• Title: Few Shot Activity Recognition Using Variational Inference
• Authors: Neeraj Kumar, Siddhansh Narang
• Abstract summary: We propose a novel variational inference based architectural framework (HF-AR) for few shot activity recognition. Our framework leverages volume-preserving Householder Flow to learn a flexible posterior distribution of the novel classes. This results in better performance as compared to state-of-the-art few shot approaches for human activity recognition.

• Abstract: There has been a remarkable progress in learning a model which could recognise novel classes with only a few labeled examples in the last few years. Few-shot learning (FSL) for action recognition is a challenging task of recognising novel action categories which are represented by few instances in the training data. We propose a novel variational inference based architectural framework (HF-AR) for few shot activity recognition. Our framework leverages volume-preserving Householder Flow to learn a flexible posterior distribution of the novel classes. This results in better performance as compared to state-of-the-art few shot approaches for human activity recognition. approach consists of base model and an adapter model. Our architecture consists of a base model and an adapter model. The base model is trained on seen classes and it computes an embedding that represent the spatial and temporal insights extracted from the input video, e.g. combination of Resnet-152 and LSTM based encoder-decoder model. The adapter model applies a series of Householder transformations to compute a flexible posterior distribution that lends higher accuracy in the few shot approach. Extensive experiments on three well-known datasets: UCF101, HMDB51 and Something-Something-V2, demonstrate similar or better performance on 1-shot and 5-shot classification as compared to state-of-the-art few shot approaches that use only RGB frame sequence as input. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to explore variational inference along with householder transformations to capture the full rank covariance matrix of posterior distribution, for few shot learning in activity recognition.

  Humans possess remarkable ability to accurately classify new, unseen images after being exposed to only a few examples. For artificial neural network models, determining the most relevant features for distinguishing between two images with limited samples presents a challenge. We propose an intra-task mutual attention method for few-shot learning, that involves splitting the support and query samples into patches.

We experimentally demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed adversarial augmentation approach over baselines across three state-of-the-art action recognition models.

  We propose a simple yet effective framework, named Learning Prompt with Distribution-based Feature Replay (LP-DiF) To prevent the learnable prompt from forgetting old knowledge in the new session, we propose a pseudo-feature replay approach. When progressing to a new session, pseudo-features are sampled from old-class distributions combined with training images of the current session to optimize the prompt.

  Few-shot classification is a challenging problem that aims to learn a model that can adapt to unseen classes given a few labeled samples. Recent approaches pre-train a feature extractor, and then fine-tune for episodic meta-learning. We propose a strategy to cross-attend and re-weight discriminative features for few-shot classification.
