Motion, measured via optical flow, provides a powerful cue to discover and learn objects in images and videos. However, compared to using appearance, it has some blind spots, such as the fact that objects become invisible if they do not…
Joint segmentation and classification of fine-grained actions is important for applications of human-robot interaction, video surveillance, and human skill evaluation. However, despite substantial recent progress in large-scale action…
Despite the rapid progress, existing works on action understanding focus strictly on one type of action agent, which we call actor---a human adult, ignoring the diversity of actions performed by other actors. To overcome this narrow…
