DDLSTM: Dual-Domain LSTM for Cross-Dataset Action Recognition
Domain alignment in convolutional networks aims to learn the degree of
layer-specific feature alignment beneficial to the joint learning of source and
target datasets. While increasingly popular in convolutional networks, there
have been no previous attempts to achieve domain alignment in recurrent
networks. Similar to spatial features, both source and target domains are
likely to exhibit temporal dependencies that can be jointly learnt and aligned.
In this paper we introduce Dual-Domain LSTM (DDLSTM), an architecture that is
able to learn temporal dependencies from two domains concurrently. It performs
cross-contaminated batch normalisation on both input-to-hidden and
hidden-to-hidden weights, and learns the parameters for cross-contamination,
for both single-layer and multi-layer LSTM architectures. We evaluate DDLSTM on
frame-level action recognition using three datasets, taking a pair at a time,
and report an average increase in accuracy of 3.5%. The proposed DDLSTM
architecture outperforms standard, fine-tuned, and batch-normalised LSTMs.Comment: To appear in CVPR 201
