• Abstract: Human activity recognition (HAR) is an important research field in ubiquitous computing where the acquisition of large-scale labeled sensor data is tedious, labor-intensive and time consuming. State-of-the-art unsupervised remedies investigated to alleviate the burdens of data annotations in HAR mainly explore training autoencoder frameworks. In this paper: we explore generative adversarial network (GAN) paradigms to learn unsupervised feature representations from wearable sensor data; and design a new GAN framework-Geometrically-Guided GAN or Guided-GAN-for the task. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our formulation, we evaluate the features learned by Guided-GAN in an unsupervised manner on three downstream classification benchmarks. Our results demonstrate Guided-GAN to outperform existing unsupervised approaches whilst closely approaching the performance with fully supervised learned representations. The proposed approach paves the way to bridge the gap between unsupervised and supervised human activity recognition whilst helping to reduce the cost of human data annotation tasks.

  How to accurately learn task-relevant state representations from high-dimensional observations with visual distractions is a challenging problem in visual reinforcement learning. We propose a Sequential Action-induced invariant Representation (SAR) method, in which the encoder is optimized by an auxiliary learner to only preserve the components that follow the control signals of sequential actions.

• Weakly-supervised HOI Detection via Prior-guided Bi-level Representation Learning [66.00600682711995]
  Human object interaction (HOI) detection plays a crucial role in human-centric scene understanding and serves as a fundamental building-block for many vision tasks. One generalizable and scalable strategy for HOI detection is to use weak supervision, learning from image-level annotations only. This is inherently challenging due to ambiguous human-object associations, large search space of detecting HOIs and highly noisy training signal. We develop a CLIP-guided HOI representation capable of incorporating the prior knowledge at both image level and HOI instance level, and adopt a self-taught mechanism to prune incorrect human-object associations.

  In supervised learning, data are annotated with incomplete yet discriminative information. In this paper, we focus on partial labelling, an instance of weak supervision where, from a given input, we are given a set of potential targets. We propose an empirical disambiguation algorithm to recover full supervision from weak supervision.

  We introduce the Contrastive Predictive Coding framework to human activity recognition, which captures the long-term temporal structure of sensor data streams. CPC-based pre-training is self-supervised, and the resulting learned representations can be integrated into standard activity chains. It leads to significantly improved recognition performance when only small amounts of labeled training data are available.

  Mining social media for tasks such as detecting personal experiences or events, suffer from lexical sparsity, insufficient training data, and inventive lexicons. To reduce the burden of creating extensive labeled data, we propose to perform these tasks in two steps: 1. Decomposing the task into domain-specific sub-tasks by identifying key concepts, thus utilizing human domain understanding; 2. Combining the results of learners for each key concept using co-training to reduce the requirements for labeled training data.
