Weakly-Supervised Temporal Action Detection for Fine-Grained Videos with Hierarchical Atomic Actions

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Action understanding has evolved into the era of fine granularity, as most human behaviors in real life have only minor differences. To detect these fine-grained actions accurately in a label-efficient way, we tackle the problem of weakly-supervised fine-grained temporal action detection in videos for the first time. Without the careful design to capture subtle differences between fine-grained actions, previous weakly-supervised models for general action detection cannot perform well in the fine-grained setting. We propose to model actions as the combinations of reusable atomic actions which are automatically discovered from data through self-supervised clustering, in order to capture the commonality and individuality of fine-grained actions. The learnt atomic actions, represented by visual concepts, are further mapped to fine and coarse action labels leveraging the semantic label hierarchy. Our approach constructs a visual representation hierarchy of four levels: clip level, atomic action level, fine action class level and coarse action class level, with supervision at each level. Extensive experiments on two large-scale fine-grained video datasets, FineAction and FineGym, show the benefit of our proposed weakly-supervised model for fine-grained action detection, and it achieves state-of-the-art results.

Computational Thinking in the Era of Data Science

Communications of the ACM

Recent years have seen the integration of computer science, mathematicsa and statistics, together with real-world domain knowledge, into a new research and applications field: data science.4 Just as data science integrates knowledge and skills from computer science, statistics, and a real-world application domain, data thinking, we propose, integrates computational thinking, statistical thinking, and domain thinking. Computational thinking was first introduced by Papert13 and, a quarter of a century later, was illuminated and elaborated on by Wing.15 As it turns out, exploring the novelty of data thinking uncovers new facets of computational thinking. In this Viewpoint, we first present our interpretation of the concept of data thinking and then, based on insights gained from the discussion about data thinking, we propose a timely need has emerged to introduce data thinking into computer science education along with computational thinking, in the context of various real-world domains using real-life data.


An Interview with Dana Scott

Communications of the ACM

ACM fellow Dana Stewart Scott, the recipient jointly with Michael Rabin of the 1976 A.M. Turing Award for the concept of nondeterministic finite automata, has made seminal contributions spanning computing science, mathematics, philosophy, automata theory, modal logic, model theory, set theory, and the theory of programming languages. After receiving a B.A. in mathematics from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1950, and a Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1958, he held faculty positions at the University of Chicago, UC Berkeley, and at Stanford, Princeton, Oxford, and Carnegie Mellon Universities. He retired as University Professor from CMU in 2003. The distinguished theoretical computer scientist Gordon Plotkin conducted a series of four oral history interviews of Scott between November 2020 and February 2021. The interviews, the transcripts and videos of which are online,a cover primarily the period leading up to the 1976 ACM A.M. Turing Award. Presented here is a condensed and highly edited version, which includes some additional post-interview material provided by Scott. I was born in 1932 in Berkeley, CA, where I am now in retirement. We lived on a farm near Susanville when I started first grade in a one-room school-house.


How AI will change corporate training in the near future - MATRIX Blog

#artificialintelligence

A version of this post was originally published in Entrepreneur on February 1, 2022. I've been in the education business for decades as a senior lecturer, trainer and CEO. When people ask me about the biggest challenge that learners face, the first thing that comes to mind is that learners see training as something they "have to do." Now, let's think for a moment about this. How did we get here? Why aren't we talking about "want to do" or "happy to have the opportunity to do?"

Artificial intelligence in medical education curriculum: An e-Delphi study for competencies - PubMed

#artificialintelligence

Round 1 in the Delphi survey began with exploratory open-ended questions. Responses received in the first round evaluated and refined to a 27-item questionnaire which then sent to the experts to be rated using a 7-point Likert type scale (1: Strongly Disagree-7: Strongly Agree). Similar to the second round, the participants repeated their assessments in the third round by using the second-round analysis. The agreement level and strength of the consensus was decided based on third phase results. Median scores was used to calculate the agreement level and the interquartile range (IQR) was used for determining the strength of the consensus. Results: Among 128 invitees, a total of 94 agreed to become members of the expert panel.


Classification of Macromolecule Type Based on Sequences of Amino Acids Using Deep Learning

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

The classification of amino acids and their sequence analysis plays a vital role in life sciences and is a challenging task. This article uses and compares state-of-the-art deep learning models like convolution neural networks (CNN), long short-term memory (LSTM), and gated recurrent units (GRU) to solve macromolecule classification problems using amino acids. These models have efficient frameworks for solving a broad spectrum of complex learning problems compared to traditional machine learning techniques. We use word embedding to represent the amino acid sequences as vectors. The CNN extracts features from amino acid sequences, which are treated as vectors, then fed to the models mentioned above to train a robust classifier. Our results show that word2vec as embedding combined with VGG-16 performs better than LSTM and GRU. The proposed approach gets an error rate of 1.5%.
