Social Scene Understanding: End-to-End Multi-Person Action Localization and Collective Activity Recognition
We present a unified framework for understanding human social behaviors in
raw image sequences. Our model jointly detects multiple individuals, infers
their social actions, and estimates the collective actions with a single
feed-forward pass through a neural network. We propose a single architecture
that does not rely on external detection algorithms but rather is trained
end-to-end to generate dense proposal maps that are refined via a novel
inference scheme. The temporal consistency is handled via a person-level
matching Recurrent Neural Network. The complete model takes as input a sequence
of frames and outputs detections along with the estimates of individual actions
and collective activities. We demonstrate state-of-the-art performance of our
algorithm on multiple publicly available benchmarks
Latent Embeddings for Collective Activity Recognition
Rather than simply recognizing the action of a person individually,
collective activity recognition aims to find out what a group of people is
acting in a collective scene. Previ- ous state-of-the-art methods using
hand-crafted potentials in conventional graphical model which can only define a
limited range of relations. Thus, the complex structural de- pendencies among
individuals involved in a collective sce- nario cannot be fully modeled. In
this paper, we overcome these limitations by embedding latent variables into
feature space and learning the feature mapping functions in a deep learning
framework. The embeddings of latent variables build a global relation
containing person-group interac- tions and richer contextual information by
jointly modeling broader range of individuals. Besides, we assemble atten- tion
mechanism during embedding for achieving more com- pact representations. We
evaluate our method on three col- lective activity datasets, where we
contribute a much larger dataset in this work. The proposed model has achieved
clearly better performance as compared to the state-of-the- art methods in our
experiments.Comment: 6pages, accepted by IEEE-AVSS201
Deep learning for time series classification: a review
Time Series Classification (TSC) is an important and challenging problem in
data mining. With the increase of time series data availability, hundreds of
TSC algorithms have been proposed. Among these methods, only a few have
considered Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) to perform this task. This is surprising
as deep learning has seen very successful applications in the last years. DNNs
have indeed revolutionized the field of computer vision especially with the
advent of novel deeper architectures such as Residual and Convolutional Neural
Networks. Apart from images, sequential data such as text and audio can also be
processed with DNNs to reach state-of-the-art performance for document
classification and speech recognition. In this article, we study the current
state-of-the-art performance of deep learning algorithms for TSC by presenting
an empirical study of the most recent DNN architectures for TSC. We give an
overview of the most successful deep learning applications in various time
series domains under a unified taxonomy of DNNs for TSC. We also provide an
open source deep learning framework to the TSC community where we implemented
each of the compared approaches and evaluated them on a univariate TSC
benchmark (the UCR/UEA archive) and 12 multivariate time series datasets. By
training 8,730 deep learning models on 97 time series datasets, we propose the
most exhaustive study of DNNs for TSC to date.Comment: Accepted at Data Mining and Knowledge Discover
