• Abstract: Zero-shot skeleton-based action recognition aims to recognize actions of unseen categories after training on data of seen categories. The key is to build the connection between visual and semantic space from seen to unseen classes. Previous studies have primarily focused on encoding sequences into a singular feature vector, with subsequent mapping the features to an identical anchor point within the embedded space. Their performance is hindered by 1) the ignorance of the global visual/semantic distribution alignment, which results in a limitation to capture the true interdependence between the two spaces. 2) the negligence of temporal information since the frame-wise features with rich action clues are directly pooled into a single feature vector. We propose a new zero-shot skeleton-based action recognition method via mutual information (MI) estimation and maximization. Specifically, 1) we maximize the MI between visual and semantic space for distribution alignment; 2) we leverage the temporal information for estimating the MI by encouraging MI to increase as more frames are observed. Extensive experiments on three large-scale skeleton action datasets confirm the effectiveness of our method. Code: https://github.com/YujieOuO/SMIE.

  Fine-grained action recognition is attracting increasing attention due to the emerging demand of specific action understanding in real-world applications. We propose a few-shot fine-grained action recognition problem, aiming to recognize novel fine-grained actions with only few samples given for each class. Although progress has been made in coarse-grained actions, existing few-shot recognition methods encounter two issues handling fine-grained actions.
