• Abstract: In this paper, Gated-ViGAT, an efficient approach for video event recognition, utilizing bottom-up (object) information, a new frame sampling policy and a gating mechanism is proposed. Specifically, the frame sampling policy uses weighted in-degrees (WiDs), derived from the adjacency matrices of graph attention networks (GATs), and a dissimilarity measure to select the most salient and at the same time diverse frames representing the event in the video. Additionally, the proposed gating mechanism fetches the selected frames sequentially, and commits early-exiting when an adequately confident decision is achieved. In this way, only a few frames are processed by the computationally expensive branch of our network that is responsible for the bottom-up information extraction. The experimental evaluation on two large, publicly available video datasets (MiniKinetics, ActivityNet) demonstrates that Gated-ViGAT provides a large computational complexity reduction in comparison to our previous approach (ViGAT), while maintaining the excellent event recognition and explainability performance.

  Video object detection (VOD) needs to concern the high across-frame variation in object appearance, and the diverse deterioration in some frames. Most of contemporary aggregation methods are tailored for two-stage detectors, suffering from high computational costs. This study invents a very simple yet potent strategy of feature selection and aggregation, gaining significant accuracy at marginal computational expense.

  Video recognition is a hot-spot research topic with the explosive growth of multimedia data on the Internet and mobile devices. Most existing methods select the salient frames without awareness of the class-specific saliency scores. We propose a novel Temporal Saliency Query (TSQ) mechanism, which introduces class-specific information to provide fine-grained cues for saliency measurement.
