Action recognition in videos has attracted a lot of attention in the past decade. In order to learn robust models, previous methods usually assume videos are trimmed as short sequences and require ground-truth annotations of each video…
As research on action recognition matures, the focus is shifting away from categorizing basic task-oriented actions using hand-segmented video datasets to understanding complex goal-oriented daily human activities in real-world settings.…
Computer-use agents can operate computers and automate laborious tasks, but despite recent rapid progress, they still lag behind human users, especially when tasks require domain-specific procedural knowledge about particular applications,…
