• Abstract: Intention recognition has traditionally focused on individual intentions, overlooking the complexities of collective intentions in group settings. To address this limitation, we introduce the concept of group intention, which represents shared goals emerging through the actions of multiple individuals, and Group Intention Forecasting (GIF), a novel task that forecasts when group intentions will occur by analyzing individual actions and interactions before the collective goal becomes apparent. To investigate GIF in a specific scenario, we propose SHOT, the first large-scale dataset for GIF, consisting of 1,979 basketball video clips captured from 5 camera views and annotated with 6 types of individual attributes. SHOT is designed with 3 key characteristics: multi-individual information, multi-view adaptability, and multi-level intention, making it well-suited for studying emerging group intentions. Furthermore, we introduce GIFT (Group Intention ForecasTer), a framework that extracts fine-grained individual features and models evolving group dynamics to forecast intention emergence. Experimental results confirm the effectiveness of SHOT and GIFT, establishing a strong foundation for future research in group intention forecasting. The dataset is available at https://xinyi-hu.github.io/SHOT_DATASET.

  Group activity detection (GAD) is the task of identifying members of each group and classifying the activity of the group at the same time in a video. We present a new dataset, dubbed Caf'e, which presents more practical scenarios and metrics. We also propose a new GAD model that deals with an unknown number of groups and latent group members efficiently and effectively.

  GP-Graph has collective group representations for effective pedestrian trajectory prediction in crowded environments. A key idea of GP-Graph is to model both individual-wise and group-wise relations as graph representations. We propose group pooling&unpooling operations to represent a group with multiple pedestrians as one graph node.

We propose a novel unified framework based on graph neural networks to simultaneously address the group-based re-id tasks.

  Co-Salient Object Detection (CoSOD) aims at discovering salient objects that repeatedly appear in a given query group containing two or more relevant images. One challenging issue is how to effectively capture co-saliency cues by modeling and exploiting inter-image relationships. We present an end-to-end collaborative aggregation-and-distribution network (CoADNet) to capture both salient and repetitive visual patterns from multiple images.

  This paper presents a new task named weakly-supervised group activity recognition (GAR) It differs from conventional GAR tasks in that only video-level labels are available, yet the important persons within each frame are not provided even in the training data. This eases us to collect and annotate a large-scale NBA dataset and thus raise new challenges to GAR.
