Neighbor-Guided Consistent and Contrastive Learning for Semi-Supervised Action Recognition.

Semi-supervised learning has been well established in the area of image classification but remains to be explored in video-based action recognition. FixMatch is a state-of-the-art semi-supervised method for image classification, but it does not work well when transferred directly to the video domain since it only utilizes the single RGB modality, which contains insufficient motion information. Moreover, it only leverages highly-confident pseudo-labels to explore consistency between strongly-augmented and weakly-augmented samples, resulting in limited supervised signals, long training time, and insufficient feature discriminability.
