• Abstract summary: We aim to improve the generalization ability of the compositional action recognition model to novel verbs or novel nouns. Previous work utilizes verb-noun compositional action nodes in the knowledge graph, making it inefficient to scale. We propose our approach: Disentangled Action Recognition with Knowledge-bases (DARK), which leverages the inherent compositionality of actions.

• Abstract: Action in video usually involves the interaction of human with objects. Action labels are typically composed of various combinations of verbs and nouns, but we may not have training data for all possible combinations. In this paper, we aim to improve the generalization ability of the compositional action recognition model to novel verbs or novel nouns that are unseen during training time, by leveraging the power of knowledge graphs. Previous work utilizes verb-noun compositional action nodes in the knowledge graph, making it inefficient to scale since the number of compositional action nodes grows quadratically with respect to the number of verbs and nouns. To address this issue, we propose our approach: Disentangled Action Recognition with Knowledge-bases (DARK), which leverages the inherent compositionality of actions. DARK trains a factorized model by first extracting disentangled feature representations for verbs and nouns, and then predicting classification weights using relations in external knowledge graphs. The type constraint between verb and noun is extracted from external knowledge bases and finally applied when composing actions. DARK has better scalability in the number of objects and verbs, and achieves state-of-the-art performance on the Charades dataset. We further propose a new benchmark split based on the Epic-kitchen dataset which is an order of magnitude bigger in the numbers of classes and samples, and benchmark various models on this benchmark.

  We try three different methods for topic-focus articulation (TFA) employing graph neural models for a meaning-to-text generation task. We propose a novel encoding strategy about node aggregation in graph neural models, which instead of traditional encoding by aggregating adjacent node information, learns node representations by using depth-first search.

Experiments show that NodePiece performs competitively in node classification, link prediction, and relation prediction tasks.

  In compositional zero-shot learning, the goal is to recognize unseen compositions of observed visual primitives states. We propose a novel graph formulation called Compositional Graph Embedding (CGE) that learns image features and latent representations of visual primitives in an end-to-end manner. By learning a joint compatibility that encodes semantics between concepts, our model allows for generalization to unseen compositions without relying on an external knowledge base like WordNet.
