• Abstract summary: We propose a novel method for representation learning of multi-view videos. Our method learns an implicit mapping between different views, culminating in a representation space that maintains the homography relationship between neighboring views. On action classification, our method obtains 96.4% 3-fold accuracy on the UCF101 dataset, better than most state-of-the-art self-supervised learning methods.

• Abstract: Recent advances in self-supervised representation learning have enabled more efficient and robust model performance without relying on extensive labeled data. However, most works are still focused on images, with few working on videos and even fewer on multi-view videos, where more powerful inductive biases can be leveraged for self-supervision. In this work, we propose a novel method for representation learning of multi-view videos, where we explicitly model the representation space to maintain Homography Equivariance (HomE). Our method learns an implicit mapping between different views, culminating in a representation space that maintains the homography relationship between neighboring views. We evaluate our HomE representation via action recognition and pedestrian intent prediction as downstream tasks. On action classification, our method obtains 96.4% 3-fold accuracy on the UCF101 dataset, better than most state-of-the-art self-supervised learning methods. Similarly, on the STIP dataset, we outperform the state-of-the-art by 6% for pedestrian intent prediction one second into the future while also obtaining an accuracy of 91.2% for pedestrian action (cross vs. not-cross) classification.

  We propose a novel model that learns a prototypical representation of the full action for each class. We decompose the video into short clips, where a visual encoder extracts features from each clip independently. Later, a decoder aggregates together in an online fashion features from all the clips for the final class prediction.

Our approach surpasses the current state-of-the-art methods by +7.6% and +14.9% in terms of top-1 accuracy under two popular protocols.

  We propose a novel approach to complement self-supervised pretraining via an auxiliary pretraining phase, based on knowledge similarity distillation, auxSKD. Our method deploys a teacher network that iteratively distils its knowledge to the student model by capturing the similarity information between segments of unlabelled video data. We also introduce a novel pretext task, Video Segment Pace Prediction or VSPP, which requires our model to predict the playback speed of a randomly selected segment of the input video to provide more reliable self-supervised representations.

  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.

  In this work, we ask if we may leverage semi-supervised learning in unlabeled video sequences and extra images to improve the performance on urban scene segmentation. We simply predict pseudo-labels for the unlabeled data and train subsequent models with both human-annotated and pseudo-labeled data. Our Naive-Student model, trained with such simple yet effective iterative semi-supervised learning, attains state-of-the-art results at all three Cityscapes benchmarks.
