• Authors: Haodong Duan, Nanxuan Zhao, Kai Chen, Dahua Lin
• Abstract summary: We observe the great potential of RecogTrans on both semantic-related and temporal-related downstream tasks. Based on hard-label classification, existing RecogTrans approaches suffer from noisy supervision signals in pre-training. To mitigate this problem, we developed TransRank, a unified framework for recognizing Transformations in a Ranking formulation.

• Abstract: Recognizing transformation types applied to a video clip (RecogTrans) is a long-established paradigm for self-supervised video representation learning, which achieves much inferior performance compared to instance discrimination approaches (InstDisc) in recent works. However, based on a thorough comparison of representative RecogTrans and InstDisc methods, we observe the great potential of RecogTrans on both semantic-related and temporal-related downstream tasks. Based on hard-label classification, existing RecogTrans approaches suffer from noisy supervision signals in pre-training. To mitigate this problem, we developed TransRank, a unified framework for recognizing Transformations in a Ranking formulation. TransRank provides accurate supervision signals by recognizing transformations relatively, consistently outperforming the classification-based formulation. Meanwhile, the unified framework can be instantiated with an arbitrary set of temporal or spatial transformations, demonstrating good generality. With a ranking-based formulation and several empirical practices, we achieve competitive performance on video retrieval and action recognition. Under the same setting, TransRank surpasses the previous state-of-the-art method by 6.4% on UCF101 and 8.3% on HMDB51 for action recognition (Top1 Acc); improves video retrieval on UCF101 by 20.4% (R@1). The promising results validate that RecogTrans is still a worth exploring paradigm for video self-supervised learning. Codes will be released at https://github.com/kennymckormick/TransRank.

  We propose a novel Transformer-based approach, namely kTrans, to generate knowledge-aware binary code embedding. We inspect the generated embeddings with outlier detection and visualization, and also apply kTrans to 3 downstream tasks: Binary Code Similarity Detection (BCSD), Function Type Recovery (FTR) and Indirect Call Recognition (ICR) Evaluation results show that kTrans can generate high-quality binary code embeddings, and outperforms state-of-the-art (SOTA) approaches on downstream tasks by 5.2%, 6.8%, and 12.6% respectively.

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

  Semi-supervised object segmentation is a task of segmenting the target object in a video sequence given only a mask in the first frame. Most previous best-performing methods adopt matching-based transductive reasoning or online inductive learning. We propose to integrate transductive and inductive learning into a unified framework to exploit complement between them for accurate and robust video object segmentation.

  We propose a novel unsupervised domain adaptation framework which can simultaneously transfer multi-modality knowledge, i.e., both kinematic and visual data, from simulator to real robot. It remedies the domain gap with enhanced transferable features by using temporal cues in videos, and inherent correlations in multi-modal towards recognizing gesture. Results show that our approach recovers the performance with great improvement gains, up to 12.91% in ACC and 20.16% in F1score without using any annotations in real robot.
