This paper considers the problem of spatiotemporal object-centric reasoning in videos. Central to our approach is the notion of object permanence, i.e., the ability to reason about the location of objects as they move through the video…
The temporal action segmentation task segments videos temporally and predicts action labels for all frames. Fully supervising such a segmentation model requires dense frame-wise action annotations, which are expensive and tedious to…
Automatic video captioning aims for a holistic visual scene understanding. It requires a mechanism for capturing temporal context in video frames and the ability to comprehend the actions and associations of objects in a given timeframe.…
Currently successful methods for video description are based on encoder-decoder sentence generation using recur-rent neural networks (RNNs). Recent work has shown the advantage of integrating temporal and/or spatial attention mechanisms…

Video Object Grounding (VOG) is the problem of associating spatial object regions in the video to a descriptive natural language query. This is a challenging vision-language task that necessitates constructing the correct cross-modal…
Recognizing human activities in videos is challenging due to the spatio-temporal complexity and context-dependence of human interactions. Prior studies often rely on single input modalities, such as RGB or skeletal data, limiting their…
Video moment retrieval aims to localize moments in video corresponding to a given language query. To avoid the expensive cost of annotating the temporal moments, weakly-supervised VMR (wsVMR) systems have been studied. For such systems,…
Enabling computational systems with the ability to localize actions in video-based content has manifold applications. Traditionally, such a problem is approached in a fully-supervised setting where video-clips with complete frame-by-frame…
Topical Segmentation poses a great role in reducing search space of the topics taught in a lecture video specially when the video metadata lacks topic wise segmentation information. This segmentation information eases user efforts of…
