The successful candidate will work on exciting project to develop cutting edge computer vision and machine learning technology. Supervised deep learning approaches have demonstrated highly successful performance in video action recognition. Main disadvantages of the supervised models critically rely on large datasets gained from expensive human annotation. This motivates us to look beyond the supervised paradigm as supervised methods frequently suffer from many weaknesses. This project aims to leverage weak supervision to develop good quality supervision for effective action recognition, where alleviates the burden of obtaining hand-labelled data sets.
