• Abstract: Temporal Action Localization (TAL) is a challenging task in video understanding that aims to identify and localize actions within a video sequence. Recent studies have emphasized the importance of applying long-term temporal context modeling (TCM) blocks to the extracted video clip features such as employing complex self-attention mechanisms. In this paper, we present the simplest method ever to address this task and argue that the extracted video clip features are already informative to achieve outstanding performance without sophisticated architectures. To this end, we introduce TemporalMaxer, which minimizes long-term temporal context modeling while maximizing information from the extracted video clip features with a basic, parameter-free, and local region operating max-pooling block. Picking out only the most critical information for adjacent and local clip embeddings, this block results in a more efficient TAL model. We demonstrate that TemporalMaxer outperforms other state-of-the-art methods that utilize long-term TCM such as self-attention on various TAL datasets while requiring significantly fewer parameters and computational resources. The code for our approach is publicly available at https://github.com/TuanTNG/TemporalMaxer

  Unsupervised Video Object (VOS) aims at identifying the contours of primary foreground objects in videos without any prior knowledge. Previous methods do not fully use spatial-temporal context and fail to tackle this challenging task in real-time. This motivates us to develop an efficient Long-Short Temporal Attention network (termed LSTA) for unsupervised VOS task from a holistic view.
