Many interesting events in the real world are rare making preannotated machine learning ready videos a rarity in consequence. Thus, temporal activity detection models that are able to learn from a few examples are desirable. In this paper,…
Current state-of-the-art human activity recognition is focused on the classification of temporally trimmed videos in which only one action occurs per frame. We propose a simple, yet effective, method for the temporal detection of activities…
The temporal segmentation of events is an essential task and a precursor for the automatic recognition of human actions in the video. Several attempts have been made to capture frame-level salient aspects through attention but they lack the…
