  • Publication number: 20230064692
    Abstract: According to a network space search method, an expanded search space is partitioned into multiple network spaces. Each network space includes a plurality of network architectures and is characterized by a first range of network depths and a second range of network widths. The performance of the network spaces is evaluated by sampling respective network architectures with respect to a multi-objective loss function. The evaluated performance is indicated as a probability associated with each network space. The method then identifies a subset of the network spaces that has the highest probabilities, and selects a target network space from the subset based on model complexity.

  • Patent number: 11138441
    Abstract: Embodiments herein treat the action segmentation as a domain adaption (DA) problem and reduce the domain discrepancy by performing unsupervised DA with auxiliary unlabeled videos. In one or more embodiments, to reduce domain discrepancy for both the spatial and temporal directions, embodiments of a Mixed Temporal Domain Adaptation (MTDA) approach are presented to jointly align frame-level and video-level embedded feature spaces across domains, and, in one or more embodiments, further integrate with a domain attention mechanism to focus on aligning the frame-level features with higher domain discrepancy, leading to more effective domain adaptation. Comprehensive experiment results validate that embodiments outperform previous state-of-the-art methods. Embodiments can adapt models effectively by using auxiliary unlabeled videos, leading to further applications of large-scale problems, such as video surveillance and human activity analysis.
