Action Modifiers: Learning from Adverbs in Instructional Videos

Hazel Doughty, Ivan Laptev, Walterio Mayol-Cuevas +1

We present a method to learn a representation for adverbs from instructional videos using weak supervision from the accompanying narrations. Key to our method is the fact that the…

End-to-End Learning of Visual Representations from Uncurated Instructional Videos

Antoine Miech, Jean-Baptiste Alayrac, Lucas Smaira +3

Annotating videos is cumbersome, expensive and not scalable. Yet, many strong video models still rely on manually annotated data. With the recent introduction of the HowTo100M data…

Synthetic Humans for Action Recognition from Unseen Viewpoints

Gül Varol, Ivan Laptev, Cordelia Schmid +1

Although synthetic training data has been shown to be beneficial for tasks such as human pose estimation, its use for RGB human action recognition is relatively unexplored. Our goa…

HowTo100M: Learning a Text-Video Embedding by Watching Hundred Million Narrated Video Clips

Antoine Miech, Dimitri Zhukov, Jean-Baptiste Alayrac +3

Learning text-video embeddings usually requires a dataset of video clips with manually provided captions. However, such datasets are expensive and time consuming to create and ther…

Estimating 3D Motion and Forces of Person-Object Interactions from Monocular Video

Zongmian Li, Jiri Sedlar, Justin Carpentier +3

In this paper, we introduce a method to automatically reconstruct the 3D motion of a person interacting with an object from a single RGB video. Our method estimates the 3D poses of…
