Generalized Uncertainty-Based Evidential Fusion with Hybrid Multi-Head Attention for Weak-Supervised Temporal Action Localization

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Weakly supervised temporal action localization (WS-TAL) is a task of targeting at localizing complete action instances and categorizing them with video-level labels. Action-background ambiguity, primarily caused by background noise resulting from aggregation and intra-action variation, is a significant challenge for existing WS-TAL methods. In this paper, we introduce a hybrid multi-head attention (HMHA) module and generalized uncertainty-based evidential fusion (GUEF) module to address the problem. The proposed HMHA effectively enhances RGB and optical flow features by filtering redundant information and adjusting their feature distribution to better align with the WS-TAL task. Additionally, the proposed GUEF adaptively eliminates the interference of background noise by fusing snippet-level evidences to refine uncertainty measurement and select superior foreground feature information, which enables the model to concentrate on integral action instances to achieve better action localization and classification performance. Experimental results conducted on the THUMOS14 dataset demonstrate that our method outperforms state-of-the-art methods.

An Adaptive Framework for Multi-View Clustering Leveraging Conditional Entropy Optimization

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Multi-view clustering (MVC) has emerged as a powerful technique for extracting valuable insights from data characterized by multiple perspectives or modalities. Despite significant advancements, existing MVC methods struggle with effectively quantifying the consistency and complementarity among views, and are particularly susceptible to the adverse effects of noisy views, known as the Noisy-View Drawback (NVD). To address these challenges, we propose CE-MVC, a novel framework that integrates an adaptive weighting algorithm with a parameter-decoupled deep model. Leveraging the concept of conditional entropy and normalized mutual information, CE-MVC quantitatively assesses and weights the informative contribution of each view, facilitating the construction of robust unified representations. The parameter-decoupled design enables independent processing of each view, effectively mitigating the influence of noise and enhancing overall clustering performance. Extensive experiments demonstrate that CE-MVC outperforms existing approaches, offering a more resilient and accurate solution for multi-view clustering tasks.
