• Title: Siamese Networks for Weakly Supervised Human Activity Recognition
• Authors: Taoran Sheng, Manfred Huber
• Abstract summary: We present a model with multiple siamese networks that are trained by using only the information about the similarity between pairs of data samples without knowing the explicit labels. The trained model maps the activity data samples into fixed size representation vectors such that the distance between the vectors in the representation space approximates the similarity of the data samples in the input space. We evaluate the model on three datasets to verify its effectiveness in segmentation and recognition of continuous human activity sequences.

• Abstract: Deep learning has been successfully applied to human activity recognition. However, training deep neural networks requires explicitly labeled data which is difficult to acquire. In this paper, we present a model with multiple siamese networks that are trained by using only the information about the similarity between pairs of data samples without knowing the explicit labels. The trained model maps the activity data samples into fixed size representation vectors such that the distance between the vectors in the representation space approximates the similarity of the data samples in the input space. Thus, the trained model can work as a metric for a wide range of different clustering algorithms. The training process minimizes a similarity loss function that forces the distance metric to be small for pairs of samples from the same kind of activity, and large for pairs of samples from different kinds of activities. We evaluate the model on three datasets to verify its effectiveness in segmentation and recognition of continuous human activity sequences.

  We propose a new self-supervised method for pre-training the backbone of deep perception models operating on point clouds. The core idea is to train the model on a pretext task which is the reconstruction of the surface on which the 3D points are sampled. The intuition is that if the network is able to reconstruct the scene surface, given only sparse input points, then it probably also captures some fragments of semantic information.

This avoids the tedious and costly process of exhaustively labelling person image/tracklet true matching pairs across camera views. Our method is particularly more robust against arbitrary noisy data of raw tracklets therefore scalable to learning discriminative models from unconstrained tracking data.
