Revisiting Vision Transformer from the View of Path Ensemble

ICCV 2023oral

Vision Transformers (ViTs) are normally regarded as a stack of transformer layers. In this work, we propose a novel view of ViTs showing that they can be seen as ensemble networks containing multiple parallel paths with different lengths. Specifically, we equivalently transform the traditional casca…

STPrivacy: Spatio-Temporal Privacy-Preserving Action Recognition

ICCV 2023poster

Existing methods of privacy-preserving action recognition (PPAR) mainly focus on frame-level (spatial) privacy removal through 2D CNNs. Unfortunately, they have two major drawbacks. First, they may compromise temporal dynamics in input videos, which are critical for accurate action recognition. Seco…

Towards Fast Adaptation of Pretrained Contrastive Models for Multi-Channel Video-Language Retrieval

CVPR 2023poster

Multi-channel video-language retrieval require models to understand information from different channels (e.g. video+question, video+speech) to correctly link a video with a textual response or query. Fortunately, contrastive multimodal models are shown to be highly effective at aligning entities in…
