The goal of this work is spatio-temporal action localization in videos, using only the supervision from video-level class labels. The state-of-the-art casts this weakly-supervised action localization regime as a Multiple Instance Learning…
Our objective in this work is fine-grained classification of actions in untrimmed videos, where the actions may be temporally extended or may span only a few frames of the video. We cast this into a query-response mechanism, where each…
The goal of human action recognition is to temporally or spatially localize the human action of interest in video sequences. Temporal localization (i.e. indicating the start and end frames of the action in a video) is referred to as…
