Challenges of Detecting Human Activities Input … … Output … … 1. Not enough large-scale training data 2. Large number of activities 3. Real-time processing is not enough Bernard Ghanem

1. Not enough large-scale training data 1 st Version (R1.1): • ~200 classes • ~850 hours • class hierarchy ActivityNet: A Large-Scale Video Benchmark for Human Activity Understanding [CVPR 2015] Bernard Ghanem

What have we done? Fast Temporal Activity Proposals for Efficient Detection of Human Actions in Untrimmed Videos [CVPR 2016] proposals are represented as sparse combinations of STIPs (10FPS on single CPU core) DAPs: Deep Action Proposals for Action Understanding [ECCV 2016] multi-scale (sparse) proposals are output by an LSTM in one pass (130FPS on single GPU) SST: Single-Stream Temporal Action Proposals [CVPR 2017] multi-scale (dense) proposals are scored by a GRU in one pass + streaming (300FPS on single GPU) Bernard Ghanem

2. Large number of activities • Applying activity detectors for large number of activity classes is expensive. • Can we do better than linear computational growth with # of activity classes? Bernard Ghanem

3. Real-time processing is not enough • In the past, real- time processing was a “good -to- have”, i.e. 1min video → 1min processing • But, not anymore! • We need to stay ahead of the increasing video upload rate. How? hardware acceleration (GPUs)  more efficient implementation  do we need to visit every frame?  Bernard Ghanem

Do we have to visit every frame? • Log how human annotator moves the time slider instead of throwing it away • Can we learn from how humans move the slider to localize t activities?
