In recent years, self-supervised learning has emerged as a powerful approach to learning visual representations without requiring extensive manual annotation. One popular technique involves using rotation transformations of images, which provide a clear visual signal for learning semantic representation. However, in this work, we revisit the pretext task of predicting image rotation in self-supervised learning and discover that it tends to marginalise the perception of features located near the centre of an image.

Early action prediction (EAP) aims to recognize human actions from a part of action execution in ongoing videos, which is an important task for many practical applications. Most prior works treat partial or full videos as a whole, ignoring rich action knowledge hidden in videos, i.e.

Article Synopsis
  • Accurate and unbiased skin lesion examinations are essential for early diagnosis, but varying visual features and different imaging equipment complicate this process.
  • Ensembled convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have shown promise for classifying skin images, but they face limitations due to their heavy weight and inability to process contextual information effectively.
  • The new HierAttn network improves on existing lightweight models by using multi-stage and multi-branch attention mechanisms, demonstrating superior accuracy in tests involving various datasets compared to state-of-the-art lightweight networks.

Human motion prediction is challenging due to the complex spatiotemporal feature modeling. Among all methods, graph convolution networks (GCNs) are extensively utilized because of their superiority in explicit connection modeling. Within a GCN, the graph correlation adjacency matrix drives feature aggregation, and thus, is the key to extracting predictive motion features.

Video-based human pose estimation (VHPE) is a vital yet challenging task. While deep learning algorithms have made tremendous progress for the VHPE, lots of these approaches to this task implicitly model the long-range interaction between joints by expanding the receptive field of the convolution or designing a graph manually. Unlike prior methods, we design a lightweight and plug-and-play joint relation extractor (JRE) to explicitly and automatically model the associative relationship between joints.
