Fig. Temporal Contrastive Learning with Background Mixing and Target Pseudo-labels. Temporal contrastive loss (left) contrasts a single temporally augmented positive (same video, different speed) per anchor against rest of the videos in a mini-batch as negatives. Incorporating background mixing (middle) provides additional positives per anchor possessing same action semantics with a different background alleviating background shift across domains. Incorporating target pseudo-labels (right) additionally enhances the discriminabilty by contrasting the target videos with the same pseudo-label as positives against rest of the videos as negatives.

Preparing the Environment

Conda

Please use the comix_environment.yml file to create the conda environment comix as:

conda env create -f comix_environment.yml

Pip

Please use the requirements.txt file to install all the required dependencies as:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Data Directory Structure

All the datasets should be stored in the folder ./data following the convention ./data/ and it must be passed as an argument to base_dir=./data/.

UCF - HMDB

For ucf_hmdb dataset with base_dir=./data/ucf_hmdb the structure would be as follows:
