    Study Notes

    Introduction

    • Conventional action recognition approaches are designed to recognize videos that contain a single action.
    • A preprocessing segmentation process is necessary for such approaches.
    • Temporal data clustering is complex due to data dimensionality and temporal relationships.

    Temporal Data Clustering

    • Three categories of temporal clustering methods exist: model-based, subspace clustering, and kernel methods.
    • Subspace clustering methods, such as Sparse Subspace Clustering (SSC), Least-Square Regression (LSR), and Low-Rank Representation (LRR) aim to learn a distinctive and low-dimensional representation of data.
    • Semi-Markov K-means clustering is designed to find repeated patterns in temporal data.
    • Hierarchical aligned cluster analysis utilizes a dynamic time alignment kernel to cluster time series data.
    • Maximum-margin clustering method simultaneously recognizes the length and position of corresponding segments.
    • Temporal Subspace Clustering (TSC) jointly learns a dictionary and representations with a regulation to decode temporal information.

    Transfer Learning in Temporal Data Clustering

    • Transfer learning techniques are used to transfer knowledge from one task to another, even if the tasks are different but related.
    • The proposed approach is a transductive transfer learning scenario, where the source and target tasks are the same, but the domains are different.
    • The goal of the proposed approach is to explore the use of source knowledge (related data) to improve the segmentation performance in the target domain.
    • The approach learns a domain-shared subspace using a reconstruction-based strategy to guide knowledge transfer.

    Proposed Approach

    • The proposed approach utilizes a reconstruction-based strategy to guide knowledge transfer.
    • A domain-invariant projection is learned to mitigate data distribution differences between source and target domains.
    • A graph regularizer is built to capture the temporal information of source and target for better clustering.
    • The approach only constrains the representation samples belonging to the same group with temporal constraint in the source part.
    • No requirement for the class of source data to be overlapped with target data.
    • The approach uses a conventional clustering algorithm, Normalized Cuts (Shi and Malik 2000), after generating an undirected graph G.

    Results

    • The approach was evaluated using three datasets, where each target dataset was segmented based on the other two as source data.
    • The performance of the proposed approach was compared with SSC, LSR, LRR, OSC, and TSC.
    • The proposed approach outperformed other methods in terms of clustering accuracy, particularly for datasets with similar visual appearance, such as actions performed under consistent illumination and subject appearance.

    Limitations

    • The improvement of the proposed approach is not significant compared to other methods when the data is distinctive due to the lack of temporal information preserved in the model.

    Conclusion

    • The proposed approach is a novel transfer learning based subspace clustering method for temporal data.
    • The approach utilizes information from related data to improve clustering performance.
    • The approach addresses the challenge of segmenting temporal data into meaningful groups when labeled data is scarce or unavailable.
