Team PyKale (xy9) Submission to the EPIC-Kitchens 2021 Unsupervised Domain Adaptation Challenge for Action Recognition
share
This report describes the technical details of our submission to the EPIC-Kitchens 2021 Unsupervised Domain Adaptation Challenge for Action Recognition. The EPIC-Kitchens dataset is more difficult than other video domain adaptation datasets due to multi-tasks with more modalities. Firstly, to participate in the challenge, we employ a transformer to capture the spatial information from each modality. Secondly, we employ a temporal attention module to model temporal-wise inter-dependency. Thirdly, we employ the adversarial domain adaptation network to learn the general features between labeled source and unlabeled target domain. Finally, we incorporate multiple modalities to improve the performance by a three-stream network with late fusion. Our network achieves the comparable performance with the state-of-the-art baseline TA^3N and outperforms the baseline on top-1 accuracy for verb class and top-5 accuracies for all three tasks which are verb, noun and action. Under the team name xy9, our submission achieved 5th place in terms of top-1 accuracy for verb class and all top-5 accuracies.
