• Abstract: When watching a video, humans can naturally extract human actions from the surrounding scene context, even when action-scene combinations are unusual. However, unlike humans, video action recognition models often learn scene-biased action representations from the spurious correlation in training data, leading to poor performance in out-of-context scenarios. While scene-debiased models achieve improved performance in out-of-context scenarios, they often overlook valuable scene information in the data. Addressing this challenge, we propose Disentangled VIdeo representations of Action and Scene (DEVIAS), which aims to achieve holistic video understanding. Disentangled action and scene representations with our method could provide flexibility to adjust the emphasis on action or scene information depending on downstream task and dataset characteristics. Disentangled action and scene representations could be beneficial for both in-context and out-of-context video understanding. To this end, we employ slot attention to learn disentangled action and scene representations with a single model, along with auxiliary tasks that further guide slot attention. We validate the proposed method on both in-context datasets: UCF-101 and Kinetics-400, and out-of-context datasets: SCUBA and HAT. Our proposed method shows favorable performance across different datasets compared to the baselines, demonstrating its effectiveness in diverse video understanding scenarios.

  A unified video and action model holds significant promise for robotics, where videos provide rich scene information for action prediction. We introduce the Unified Video Action model (UVA), which jointly optimize video and action predictions to achieve both high accuracy and efficient action inference. Via an extensive set of experiments, we demonstrate that UVA can serve as a general-purpose solution for a wide range of robotics tasks.

  We propose a novel model that learns a prototypical representation of the full action for each class.

  We propose Scene-debiasing Open-set Action Recognition (SOAR), which features an adversarial scene reconstruction module and an adaptive adversarial scene classification module. The former prevents the decoder from reconstructing the video background given video features, and thus helps reduce the background information in feature learning. The latter aims to confuse scene type classification given video features, with a specific emphasis on the action foreground, and helps to learn scene-invariant information.

We propose a novel framework, Paxion, along with a new Discriminative Video Dynamics Modeling (DVDM) objective.

  We study self-supervised video representation learning, which is a challenging task due to 1) a lack of labels for explicit supervision and 2) unstructured and noisy visual information. Existing methods mainly use contrastive loss with video clips as the instances and learn visual representation by discriminating instances from each other. In this paper, we observe that the consistency between positive samples is the key to learn robust video representations.

  Action categories are highly related with the scene where the action happens, making the model tend to degrade to a solution where only the scene information is encoded. We propose to decouple the scene and the motion (DSM) with two simple operations, so that the model attention towards the motion information is better paid.
