Multi-Label Zero-Shot Human Action Recognition via Joint Latent Ranking Embedding
Human action recognition refers to automatic recognizing human actions from a
video clip. In reality, there often exist multiple human actions in a video
stream. Such a video stream is often weakly-annotated with a set of relevant
human action labels at a global level rather than assigning each label to a
specific video episode corresponding to a single action, which leads to a
multi-label learning problem. Furthermore, there are many meaningful human
actions in reality but it would be extremely difficult to collect/annotate
video clips regarding all of various human actions, which leads to a zero-shot
learning scenario. To the best of our knowledge, there is no work that has
addressed all the above issues together in human action recognition. In this
paper, we formulate a real-world human action recognition task as a multi-label
zero-shot learning problem and propose a framework to tackle this problem in a
holistic way. Our framework holistically tackles the issue of unknown temporal
boundaries between different actions for multi-label learning and exploits the
side information regarding the semantic relationship between different human
actions for knowledge transfer. Consequently, our framework leads to a joint
latent ranking embedding for multi-label zero-shot human action recognition. A
novel neural architecture of two component models and an alternate learning
algorithm are proposed to carry out the joint latent ranking embedding
learning. Thus, multi-label zero-shot recognition is done by measuring
relatedness scores of action labels to a test video clip in the joint latent
visual and semantic embedding spaces. We evaluate our framework with different
settings, including a novel data split scheme designed especially for
evaluating multi-label zero-shot learning, on two datasets: Breakfast and
Charades. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our
framework.Comment: 27 pages, 10 figures and 7 tables. Technical report submitted to a

TransNFCM: Translation-Based Neural Fashion Compatibility Modeling
Identifying mix-and-match relationships between fashion items is an urgent
task in a fashion e-commerce recommender system. It will significantly enhance
user experience and satisfaction. However, due to the challenges of inferring
the rich yet complicated set of compatibility patterns in a large e-commerce
corpus of fashion items, this task is still underexplored. Inspired by the
recent advances in multi-relational knowledge representation learning and deep
neural networks, this paper proposes a novel Translation-based Neural Fashion
Compatibility Modeling (TransNFCM) framework, which jointly optimizes fashion
item embeddings and category-specific complementary relations in a unified
space via an end-to-end learning manner. TransNFCM places items in a unified
embedding space where a category-specific relation (category-comp-category) is
modeled as a vector translation operating on the embeddings of compatible items
from the corresponding categories. By this way, we not only capture the
specific notion of compatibility conditioned on a specific pair of
complementary categories, but also preserve the global notion of compatibility.
We also design a deep fashion item encoder which exploits the complementary
characteristic of visual and textual features to represent the fashion
products. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work that uses
category-specific complementary relations to model the category-aware
compatibility between items in a translation-based embedding space. Extensive
experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of TransNFCM over the
state-of-the-arts on two real-world datasets.Comment: Accepted in AAAI 2019 conferenc
