We present a novel approach to weakly supervised object detection. Instead of annotated images, our method only requires two short videos to learn to detect a new object: 1) a video of a moving object and 2) one or more "negative" videos of…
Manipulated videos often contain subtle inconsistencies between their visual and audio signals. We propose a video forensics method, based on anomaly detection, that can identify these inconsistencies, and that can be trained solely using…
Developing end-to-end action recognition models on long videos is fundamental and crucial for long-video action understanding. Due to the unaffordable cost of end-to-end training on the whole long videos, existing works generally train…
