• Abstract: Temporal action segmentation classifies the action of each frame in (long) video sequences. Due to the high cost of frame-wise labeling, we propose the first semi-supervised method for temporal action segmentation. Our method hinges on unsupervised representation learning, which, for temporal action segmentation, poses unique challenges. Actions in untrimmed videos vary in length and have unknown labels and start/end times. Ordering of actions across videos may also vary. We propose a novel way to learn frame-wise representations from temporal convolutional networks (TCNs) by clustering input features with added time-proximity condition and multi-resolution similarity. By merging representation learning with conventional supervised learning, we develop an "Iterative-Contrast-Classify (ICC)" semi-supervised learning scheme. With more labelled data, ICC progressively improves in performance; ICC semi-supervised learning, with 40% labelled videos, performs similar to fully-supervised counterparts. Our ICC improves MoF by {+1.8, +5.6, +2.5}% on Breakfast, 50Salads and GTEA respectively for 100% labelled videos.

  Semi-supervised temporal action segmentation (SS-TA) aims to perform frame-wise classification in long untrimmed videos. Recent studies have shown the potential of contrastive learning in unsupervised representation learning using unlabelled data. We propose a novel Semantic-guided Multi-level Contrast scheme with a Neighbourhood-Consistency-Aware unit (SMC-NCA) to extract strong frame-wise representations.

  We propose an unsupervised approach for learning action classes from untrimmed video sequences.

Based on the identified clusters, we decode the video into coherent temporal segments that correspond to semantically meaningful action classes.

We propose an encoder-decoder-style architecture named C2F-TCN featuring a "coarse-to-fine" ensemble of decoder outputs. We show that the architecture is flexible for both supervised and representation learning.

  In CLIP, the essential visual tokenization process, which produces discrete visual token sequences, generates many homogeneous tokens due to the redundancy nature of consecutive frames in videos. This significantly increases computation costs and hinders the deployment of video retrieval models in web applications. In this paper, we design a multi-segment token clustering algorithm to find the most representative tokens and drop the non-essential ones.

The pretext task is to align the features of pasted pseudo action regions from two synthetic videos and maximize the agreement between them.
