• Abstract: Deep learning models have achieved excellent recognition results on large-scale video benchmarks. However, they perform poorly when applied to videos with rare scenes or objects, primarily due to the bias of existing video datasets. We tackle this problem from two different angles: algorithm and dataset. From the perspective of algorithms, we propose Spatial-aware Multi-Aspect Debiasing (SMAD), which incorporates both explicit debiasing with multi-aspect adversarial training and implicit debiasing with the spatial actionness reweighting module, to learn a more generic representation invariant to non-action aspects. To neutralize the intrinsic dataset bias, we propose OmniDebias to leverage web data for joint training selectively, which can achieve higher performance with far fewer web data. To verify the effectiveness, we establish evaluation protocols and perform extensive experiments on both re-distributed splits of existing datasets and a new evaluation dataset focusing on the action with rare scenes. We also show that the debiased representation can generalize better when transferred to other datasets and tasks.

  Vision-language (VL) understanding tasks evaluate models' comprehension of complex visual scenes through multiple-choice questions. We have identified two dataset biases that models can exploit as shortcuts to resolve various VL tasks correctly without proper understanding. We propose Adversarial Data Synthesis (ADS) to generate synthetic training and debiased evaluation data. We then introduce Intra-sample Counterfactual Training (ICT) to assist models in utilizing the synthesized training data, particularly the counterfactual data, via focusing on intra-sample differentiation.

  Temporal Sentence Grounding in Videos (TSGV) aims to ground a natural language sentence in an untrimmed video. Recent studies have found that current benchmark datasets may have obvious moment annotation biases. We introduce a new evaluation metric "dR@n,IoU@m" that discounts the basic recall scores to alleviate the inflating evaluation caused by biased datasets.

  Contrastive self-supervised learning has outperformed supervised pretraining on many downstream tasks like segmentation and object detection. In this paper, we first study how biases in the dataset affect existing methods. We show that current contrastive approaches work surprisingly well across: (i) object- versus scene-centric, (ii) uniform versus long-tailed and (iii) general versus domain-specific datasets.
