Public Private Partnership for Equitable Provision of Quality Health Services

This report presents the findings of an independent Technical Review that focused on the promotion of Public Private Partnership (PPP) for equitable provision of quality health services in Tanzania. The report is meant to contribute to the Annual Joint Health Sector Review 2005. The ToR has been broadly defined, signifying the interest that many stakeholders currently take in PPP. The Review Team (RT), with two international and three national consultants, undertook efforts to consult stakeholders for prioritisation of the issues included in the ToR. The RT had access to a large number of official documents such as laws, by-laws, policy documents, guidelines, etc. and a wide range of studies on PPP set in Tanzania complemented by international literature. The RT undertook efforts to interview relevant persons and committees, associations, organisations, ministries, donors, etc. at the national level as well as in four districts, two rural and two urban. Nevertheless, time constraints did force the RT to limit itself and consequently not all actors that constitute the private health sector could be contacted. It is hoped that the Annual Joint Health Sector Review 2005 will allow a representative participation of all actors in the field of PPP to discuss this review and compensate for any issue or actor that was left out unintended

Unsupervised Human Action Detection by Action Matching

We propose a new task of unsupervised action detection by action matching. Given two long videos, the objective is to temporally detect all pairs of matching video segments. A pair of video segments are matched if they share the same human action. The task is category independent---it does not matter what action is being performed---and no supervision is used to discover such video segments. Unsupervised action detection by action matching allows us to align videos in a meaningful manner. As such, it can be used to discover new action categories or as an action proposal technique within, say, an action detection pipeline. Moreover, it is a useful pre-processing step for generating video highlights, e.g., from sports videos. We present an effective and efficient method for unsupervised action detection. We use an unsupervised temporal encoding method and exploit the temporal consistency in human actions to obtain candidate action segments. We evaluate our method on this challenging task using three activity recognition benchmarks, namely, the MPII Cooking activities dataset, the THUMOS15 action detection benchmark and a new dataset called the IKEA dataset. On the MPII Cooking dataset we detect action segments with a precision of 21.6% and recall of 11.7% over 946 long video pairs and over 5000 ground truth action segments. Similarly, on THUMOS dataset we obtain 18.4% precision and 25.1% recall over 5094 ground truth action segment pairs.Comment: IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition CVPR 2017 Workshop
