Action Quality Assessment using Transformers
share
Action quality assessment (AQA) is an active research problem in video-based applications that is a challenging task due to the score variance per frame. Existing methods address this problem via convolutional-based approaches but suffer from its limitation of effectively capturing long-range dependencies. With the recent advancements in Transformers, we show that they are a suitable alternative to the conventional convolutional-based architectures. Specifically, can transformer-based models solve the task of AQA by effectively capturing long-range dependencies, parallelizing computation, and providing a wider receptive field for diving videos? To demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed architectures, we conducted comprehensive experiments and achieved a competitive Spearman correlation score of 0.9317. Additionally, we explore the hyperparameters effect on the model's performance and pave a new path for exploiting Transformers in AQA.
