• Abstract summary: We propose a prompt-based framework, Bridge-Prompt, to model the semantics across adjacent actions. We reformulate the individual action labels as integrated text prompts for supervision, which bridge the gap between individual action semantics. Br-Prompt achieves state-of-the-art on multiple benchmarks.

• Abstract: Action recognition models have shown a promising capability to classify human actions in short video clips. In a real scenario, multiple correlated human actions commonly occur in particular orders, forming semantically meaningful human activities. Conventional action recognition approaches focus on analyzing single actions. However, they fail to fully reason about the contextual relations between adjacent actions, which provide potential temporal logic for understanding long videos. In this paper, we propose a prompt-based framework, Bridge-Prompt (Br-Prompt), to model the semantics across adjacent actions, so that it simultaneously exploits both out-of-context and contextual information from a series of ordinal actions in instructional videos. More specifically, we reformulate the individual action labels as integrated text prompts for supervision, which bridge the gap between individual action semantics. The generated text prompts are paired with corresponding video clips, and together co-train the text encoder and the video encoder via a contrastive approach. The learned vision encoder has a stronger capability for ordinal-action-related downstream tasks, e.g. action segmentation and human activity recognition. We evaluate the performances of our approach on several video datasets: Georgia Tech Egocentric Activities (GTEA), 50Salads, and the Breakfast dataset. Br-Prompt achieves state-of-the-art on multiple benchmarks. Code is available at https://github.com/ttlmh/Bridge-Prompt

  Fine-grained video action recognition can be conceptualized as a video-text matching problem. We propose a multi-granularity framework based on two observations: (i) videos with different global semantics may share similar atomic actions or appearances, and (ii) atomic actions within a video can be momentary, slow, or even non-directly related to the global video semantics.

  Video Visual Relation Detection (VidVRD) focuses on understanding how entities over time and space in videos.

We propose VrdONE, a streamlined yet efficacious one-stage model for VidVRD.

We present a decoupled one-stage network dubbed DOAD, to improve the efficiency for-temporal action detection.
