Temporal Action Localization (TAL) typically relies on segment annotations or offline access to full videos, limiting scalability and online use. We introduce Point-Supervised Online TAL (POTAL), which localizes actions in streaming videos using only one temporal point per instance. To solve POTAL, we propose OnPoint, an offline-to-online multi-level distillation framework that transfers knowledge from a point-supervised offline teacher to an online student via (i) pseudo-segment instance distillation, (ii) class-activation sequence distillation, and (iii) anticipatory window-level distillation. We further improve robustness by incorporating the original point labels into student training and by refining anchor decoding with actionness-guided attention calibration. Experiments on five datasets show OnPoint consistently outperforms strong baselines, establishing a solid foundation for POTAL.
Spatio-temporal action detection in videos requires jointly localizing actors in space and identifying action boundaries over time. A common challenge is constructing temporally stable action tubes, as frame-level detectors often suffer from jitter, fragmentation, and imprecise t…
Most existing knowledge distillation methods focus on homogeneous models (e.g., CNN-to-CNN), thereby overlooking the flexibility and potential of knowledge transfer across heterogeneous models. Due to intrinsic inductive bias discrepancies between heterogeneous models that cause…
Developing a multi-level grading model for coronary artery stenosis holds great clinical significance for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. However, designing an effective multi-level deep learning algorithm faces significant challenges. Specifically, utilizing CCTA or 3D…
Active Speaker Detection determines whether a visible person in a video is speaking at each moment. While recent audio-visual fusion methods perform well on clean data, they degrade under real-world corruptions such as background noise, occlusion, or simultaneous modality degrada…
This study investigates the presence and propagation of bias within Neural Networks through a comprehensive multi-level analysis spanning the learned latent space, layer activations, and the network's parameters. Based on this taxonomy, we propose three bias detection approaches:…
We introduce Point-supervised Multi-Object Tracking (PS-MOT) as a cost-effective alternative to traditional bounding box supervision, shifting the focus from spatial fitting to topological center-driven representation. However, PS-MOT faces challenges, e.g., spatial ambiguity and…
