StepFormer: Self-Supervised Step Discovery and Localization in Instructional Videos

CVPR 2023poster

Instructional videos are an important resource to learn procedural tasks from human demonstrations. However, the instruction steps in such videos are typically short and sparse, with most of the video being irrelevant to the procedure. This motivates the need to temporally localize the instruction s…

Flow Graph to Video Grounding for Weakly-Supervised Multi-step Localization

ECCV 2022poster

"In this work, we consider the problem of weakly-supervised multi-step localization in instructional videos. An established approach to this problem is to rely on a given list of steps. However, in reality, there is often more than one way to execute a procedure successfully, by following the set of…

P3IV: Probabilistic Procedure Planning From Instructional Videos With Weak Supervision

CVPR 2022oral

In this paper, we study the problem of procedure planning in instructional videos. Here, an agent must produce a plausible sequence of actions that can transform the environment from a given start to a desired goal state. When learning procedure planning from instructional videos, most recent work l…

Representing 3D Shapes With Probabilistic Directed Distance Fields

CVPR 2022poster

Differentiable rendering is an essential operation in modern vision, allowing inverse graphics approaches to 3D understanding to be utilized in modern machine learning frameworks. Yet, explicit shape representations (e.g., voxels, point clouds, meshes), while relatively easily rendered, often suffer…

Representation Learning via Global Temporal Alignment and Cycle-Consistency

CVPR 2021poster

We introduce a weakly supervised method for representation learning based on aligning temporal sequences (e.g., videos) of the same process (e.g., human action). The main idea is to use the global temporal ordering of latent correspondences across sequence pairs as a supervisory signal. In particula…
