Researchers propose deep kernel video approximation for unsupervised action segmentation

Researchers have developed a novel method for unsupervised action segmentation in videos, particularly useful for scenarios where large datasets cannot be stored or are restricted. The technique involves learning within a deep kernel space to approximate the video's frame distribution, using maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) as a metric for closeness. This approach leverages neural tangent kernels (NTKs) for their descriptive power and to avoid trivial solutions during joint learning of inputs and kernel functions. The method demonstrates competitive performance against state-of-the-art techniques on multiple benchmarks, outperforming prior agglomerative methods when the number of segments is unknown. AI

    Deep kernel video approximation for unsupervised action segmentation

    This work focuses on per-video unsupervised action segmentation, which is of interest to applications where storing large datasets is either not possible, or nor permitted. We propose to segment videos by learning in deep kernel space, to approximate the underlying frame distribu…
