Abstract: This disclosure provides a training method and apparatus, and relates to the artificial intelligence field. The method includes feeding a primary video segment, representative of a concatenation of a first and a second nonadjacent video segments obtained from a video source, to a deep learning backbone network. The method further includes embedding, via the deep learning backbone network, the primary video segment into a first feature output. The method further includes providing the first feature output to a first perception network to generate a first set of probability distribution outputs indicating a temporal location of a discontinuous point associated with the primary video segment. The method further includes generating a first loss function based on the first set of probability distribution outputs. The method further includes optimizing the deep learning backbone network, by backpropagation of the first loss function.
