Learning an egocentric action recognition model from video data is challenging due to distractors (e.g., irrelevant objects) in the background. Further integrating object information into an action model is hence beneficial. Existing…
A Semantic Compositional Network (SCN) is developed for image captioning, in which semantic concepts (i.e., tags) are detected from the image, and the probability of each tag is used to compose the parameters in a long short-term memory…
Recently self-supervised learning has been proposed in the field of human activity recognition as a solution to the labelled data availability problem. The idea being that by using pretext tasks such as reconstruction or contrastive…
