Temporal action segmentation is a topic of increasing interest, however, annotating each frame in a video is cumbersome and costly. Weakly supervised approaches therefore aim at learning temporal action segmentation from videos that are…
Dense action detection involves detecting multiple co-occurring actions while action classes are often ambiguous and represent overlapping concepts. We argue that handling the dual challenge of temporal and class overlaps is too complex to…
