Learning text-video embeddings usually requires a dataset of video clips with manually provided captions. However, such datasets are expensive and time consuming to create and therefore difficult to obtain on a large scale. In this work, we…
Joint video-language learning has received increasing attention in recent years. However, existing works mainly focus on single or multiple trimmed video clips (events), which makes human-annotated event boundaries necessary during…
Human activities are particularly complex and variable, and this makes challenging for deep learning models to reason about them. However, we note that such variability does have an underlying structure, composed of a hierarchy of patterns…
