• Title: Cross-modal Manifold Cutmix for Self-supervised Video Representation Learning
• Authors: Srijan Das and Michael S. Ryoo
• Abstract summary: This paper focuses on designing video augmentation for self-supervised learning. We first analyze the best strategy to mix videos to create a new augmented video sample. We propose Cross-Modal Manifold Cutmix (CMMC) that inserts a video tesseract into another video tesseract in the feature space across two different modalities.

• Abstract: Contrastive representation learning of videos highly relies on the availability of millions of unlabelled videos. This is practical for videos available on web but acquiring such large scale of videos for real-world applications is very expensive and laborious. Therefore, in this paper we focus on designing video augmentation for self-supervised learning, we first analyze the best strategy to mix videos to create a new augmented video sample. Then, the question remains, can we make use of the other modalities in videos for data mixing? To this end, we propose Cross-Modal Manifold Cutmix (CMMC) that inserts a video tesseract into another video tesseract in the feature space across two different modalities. We find that our video mixing strategy STC-mix, i.e. preliminary mixing of videos followed by CMMC across different modalities in a video, improves the quality of learned video representations. We conduct thorough experiments for two downstream tasks: action recognition and video retrieval on two small scale video datasets UCF101, and HMDB51. We also demonstrate the effectiveness of our STC-mix on NTU dataset where domain knowledge is limited. We show that the performance of our STC-mix on both the downstream tasks is on par with the other self-supervised approaches while requiring less training data.

  We study self-supervised video representation learning, which is a challenging task due to 1) a lack of labels for explicit supervision and 2) unstructured and noisy visual information. Existing methods mainly use contrastive loss with video clips as the instances and learn visual representation by discriminating instances from each other. In this paper, we observe that the consistency between positive samples is the key to learn robust video representations.
