• Abstract: Semi-supervised video action recognition tends to enable deep neural networks to achieve remarkable performance even with very limited labeled data. However, existing methods are mainly transferred from current image-based methods (e.g., FixMatch). Without specifically utilizing the temporal dynamics and inherent multimodal attributes, their results could be suboptimal. To better leverage the encoded temporal information in videos, we introduce temporal gradient as an additional modality for more attentive feature extraction in this paper. To be specific, our method explicitly distills the fine-grained motion representations from temporal gradient (TG) and imposes consistency across different modalities (i.e., RGB and TG). The performance of semi-supervised action recognition is significantly improved without additional computation or parameters during inference. Our method achieves the state-of-the-art performance on three video action recognition benchmarks (i.e., Kinetics-400, UCF-101, and HMDB-51) under several typical semi-supervised settings (i.e., different ratios of labeled data).

  Self-supervised video representation learning aims at maximizing similarity between different temporal segments of one video. We propose Latent Time Navigation (LTN) to capture fine-grained motions. Our experimental analysis suggests that learning video representations by LTN consistently improves performance of action classification.

  Action visual tempo characterizes the dynamics and the temporal scale of an action. Previous methods capture the visual tempo either by sampling raw videos with multiple rates, or by hierarchically sampling backbone features. We propose a Temporal Correlation Module (TCM) to extract action visual tempo from low-level backbone features at single-layer remarkably.

  We argue that current fixed-sized-temporal kernels in 3 convolutional neural networks (CNNDs) can be improved to better deal with temporal variations in the input. We study how we can better handle between classes of actions, by enhancing their feature differences over different layers of the architecture. The proposed approaches are evaluated on several benchmark action recognition datasets and show competitive results.
