The focal point of egocentric video understanding is modelling hand-object interactions. Standard models -- CNNs, Vision Transformers, etc. -- which receive RGB frames as input perform well, however, their performance improves further by…
Knowledge distillation (KD) is one of the prominent techniques for model compression. In this method, the knowledge of a large network (teacher) is distilled into a model (student) with usually significantly fewer parameters. KD tries to…
In a real-world setting, object instances from new classes can be continuously encountered by object detectors. When existing object detectors are applied to such scenarios, their performance on old classes deteriorates significantly. A few…
