Action Anticipation with Goal Consistency
About
In this paper, we address the problem of short-term action anticipation, i.e., we want to predict an upcoming action one second before it happens. We propose to harness high-level intent information to anticipate actions that will take place in the future. To this end, we incorporate an additional goal prediction branch into our model and propose a consistency loss function that encourages the anticipated actions to conform to the high-level goal pursued in the video. In our experiments, we show the effectiveness of the proposed approach and demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art results on two large-scale datasets: Assembly101 and COIN.
