Standard methods for video recognition use large CNNs designed to capture spatio-temporal data. However, training these models requires a large amount of labeled training data, containing a wide variety of actions, scenes, settings and…
An increasing number of datasets contain multiple views, such as video, sound and automatic captions. A basic challenge in representation learning is how to leverage multiple views to learn better representations. This is further…
Graphs are ubiquitous, and learning on graphs has become a cornerstone in artificial intelligence and data mining communities. Unlike pixel grids in images or sequential structures in language, graphs exhibit a typical non-Euclidean…
We aim to understand how actions are performed and identify subtle differences, such as 'fold firmly' vs. 'fold gently'. To this end, we propose a method which recognizes adverbs across different actions. However, such fine-grained…
Most popular deep learning based models for action recognition are designed to generate separate predictions within their short temporal windows, which are often aggregated by heuristic means to assign an action label to the full video…
Action recognition and anticipation are key to the success of many computer vision applications. Existing methods can roughly be grouped into those that extract global, context-aware representations of the entire image or sequence, and…
Recently, much progress has been made for self-supervised action recognition. Most existing approaches emphasize the contrastive relations among videos, including appearance and motion consistency. However, two main issues remain for…
Integrating visual and linguistic information into a single multimodal representation is an unsolved problem with wide-reaching applications to both natural language processing and computer vision. In this paper, we present a simple method…
Moments capture a huge part of our lives. Accurate recognition of these moments is challenging due to the diverse and complex interpretation of the moments. Action recognition refers to the act of classifying the desired action/activity…
This paper attacks the challenging problem of video retrieval by text. In such a retrieval paradigm, an end user searches for unlabeled videos by ad-hoc queries described exclusively in the form of a natural-language sentence, with no…
Representing the semantics of words is a long-standing problem for the natural language processing community. Most methods compute word semantics given their textual context in large corpora. More recently, researchers attempted to…
We propose a novel deep learning framework for animation video resequencing. Our system produces new video sequences by minimizing a perceptual distance of images from an existing animation video clip. To measure perceptual distance, we…
The ever-growing popularity of Kinect and inertial sensors has prompted intensive research efforts on human action recognition. Since human actions can be characterized by multiple feature representations extracted from Kinect and inertial…
Learning from Demonstrations, particularly from biological experts like humans and animals, often encounters significant data acquisition challenges. While recent approaches leverage internet videos for learning, they require complex,…
Zero-shot action recognition, which recognizes actions in videos without having received any training examples, is gaining wide attention considering it can save labor costs and training time. Nevertheless, the performance of zero-shot…
Videos on the Internet are paired with pieces of text, such as titles and descriptions. This text typically describes the most important content in the video, such as the objects in the scene and the actions being performed. Based on this…
Diffusion and flow models have become the dominant paradigm for generative modeling on Riemannian manifolds, with successful applications in protein backbone generation and DNA sequence design. However, these methods require tens to…
Stories are a very compelling medium to convey ideas, experiences, social and cultural values. Narrative is a specific manifestation of the story that turns it into knowledge for the audience. In this paper, we propose a machine learning…
This paper is a brief report to our submission to the VIPriors Action Recognition Challenge. Action recognition has attracted many researchers attention for its full application, but it is still challenging. In this paper, we study previous…
Human activity recognition is typically addressed by detecting key concepts like global and local motion, features related to object classes present in the scene, as well as features related to the global context. The next open challenges…
