Abstract: Deep learning in computer vision (CV) has proved to be very effective in solving many problems in real world. However, while the raw number of researches done in standard CV problems (such as ImageNet
object classification/detection) has exploded, the measurable progress in these fields has slowed down. Additionally, there are many real-world problems in vision that are simply not compatible with the current approaches. This demands a new wave of problem statements in CV (and a new set of benchmarks). This talk focuses on one important set of such problem statements. We propose that many real-world problems in vision are “event recognition” problems. We introduce a concrete definition for the event recognition problem. We will see that this definition of event detection prohibits large sample sets. Hence, these events need to be recognize based on very few samples. We start by reviewing the current literature and we propose some promising directions for approaching this problem. At the end we show some demos from our recent effort on wrestling with this very challenging problem. Our solution can be best described by the “vision counterpart of GPT-3 few shot learner”.
