• Abstract summary: unsupervised video domain adaptation methods have been proposed to adapt a predictive model from a labelled dataset to an unlabelled dataset. We address a more realistic scenario, called open-set video domain adaptation (OUVDA), where the target dataset contains "unknown" semantic categories that are not shared with the source. We propose a video-oriented temporal contrastive loss that enables our method to better cluster the feature space by exploiting the freely available temporal information in video data.

• Abstract: In an effort to reduce annotation costs in action recognition, unsupervised video domain adaptation methods have been proposed that aim to adapt a predictive model from a labelled dataset (i.e., source domain) to an unlabelled dataset (i.e., target domain). In this work we address a more realistic scenario, called open-set video domain adaptation (OUVDA), where the target dataset contains "unknown" semantic categories that are not shared with the source. The challenge lies in aligning the shared classes of the two domains while separating the shared classes from the unknown ones. In this work we propose to address OUVDA with an unified contrastive learning framework that learns discriminative and well-clustered features. We also propose a video-oriented temporal contrastive loss that enables our method to better cluster the feature space by exploiting the freely available temporal information in video data. We show that discriminative feature space facilitates better separation of the unknown classes, and thereby allows us to use a simple similarity based score to identify them. We conduct thorough experimental evaluation on multiple OUVDA benchmarks and show the effectiveness of our proposed method against the prior art.

  UDA approaches commonly assume that source and target domains share the same labels space. This paper considers the more challenging Source-Free Open-set Domain Adaptation (SF-OSDA) setting. We propose a novel approach for SF-OSDA that exploits the granularity of target-private categories by segregating their samples into multiple unknown classes.

  Few-shot video action recognition is an effective approach to recognizing new categories with only a few labeled examples.

We propose a novel cross-domain few-shot video action recognition method that leverages self-supervised learning and curriculum learning.

  We introduce Contrast and Mix (CoMix), a new contrastive learning framework that aims to learn discriminative invariant feature representations for unsupervised video domain adaptation. First, we utilize temporal contrastive learning to bridge the domain gap by maximizing the similarity between encoded representations of an unlabeled video at two different speeds. Second, we propose a novel extension to the temporal contrastive loss by using background mixing that allows additional positives per anchor, thus adapting contrastive learning to leverage action semantics shared across both domains.

  We propose a framework that generalizes the components commonly used by Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (UDA) algorithms for detection. Specifically, we propose a novel UDA algorithm, ViSGA, that leverages the best design choices and introduces a simple but effective method to aggregate features at instance-level. We show that both similarity-based grouping and adversarial training allows our model to focus on coarsely aligning feature groups, without being forced to match all instances across loosely aligned domains.

  We study an arguably least restrictive setting of domain adaptation in a sense of practical deployment. Only the interface of source model is available to the target domain, and where the label-space relations between the two domains are allowed to be different and unknown. We propose to unify them into a self-training framework, regularized by consistency of predictions in local neighborhoods of target samples.
