Unsupervised Commonality Discoveryin Images (Chu’10, Mukherjee’11, Collins’12) Where are the repeated patterns?
Unsupervised Commonality Discoveryin Videos? • We name it Temporal Commonality Discovery (TCD). • Goal: Given two videos, discover common events in an unsupervised fashion.
TCD is hard! 1) No prior knowledge on commonalities • We do not know what, where and how many commonalities exist in the video 2) Exhaustive search are computationally prohibitive • E.g., two videos with 300 frames have >8,000,000,000 possible matches. possible locations possible lengths possibilities/sequence Another possibilities/sequence
Formulation Integer programming!
Optimization: Native Search Complexity
Optimization: Branch-and-Bound • Similar to the idea of ESS (Lampert’08), we search the space by splittingintervals.
Optimization: Branch-and-Bound • Bounding histogram bins
Optimization: Branch-and-Bound • Bounding L1 distance: • Intersection similarity: • X2 distance:
Searching Structure State S = (Rectangle set; score) (B1,E1,B2,E2; -105) (B1,E1,B2,E2; -10) (B1,E1,B2,E2; -50) Unlikelysearchregions … (B1,E1,B2,E2; 32) Priority queue (sorted by bound scores)
Algorithm Pop out the top state Top state 2. Split (B1,E1,B2,E2; -105) (B1,E1,B2,E2; -105) (B1,E1,B2,E2; -50) … (B1,E1,B2,E2; 32) Priority queue (sorted by bound scores)
Algorithm 4. Push back the split states Top state 3. Compute bounding scores (B1,E1,B2,E2; -105) (B1,E1,B2,E2; -50) (B1,E’1,B2,E2; -76) … (B1,E1,B2,E2; 32) Priority queue (sorted by bound scores) (B1,E’’1,B2,E2; -61)
Algorithm • The algorithm stop when the top state contains an unique rectangle. (B1,E’1,B2,E2; -76) Top state (B1,E’’1,B2,E2; -61) (B1,E1,B2,E2; -50) Omit most of the search space with large distances … (B1,E1,B2,E2; 32) Priority queue (sorted by bound scores)

Experiment (2): Discover Common Facial Actions • RU-FACS dataset* • Interview videos with 29 subjects • 5000~8000 frames/video • Collect 100 segments that containing smiley mouths (AU-12) • Evaluate in terms of averaged precision * “Automatic recognition of facial actions in spontaneous expressions”, Journal of Multimedia 2006.

Experiment (2): Discover Common Facial Actions • Compare with LCCS* on -distance * “Frame-level temporal calibration of unsynchronized cameras by using Longest Consecutive Common Subsequence”, ICASSP 2009.
Experiment (3): Discover Multiple Common Human Motions • CMU-Mocap dataset: • http://mocap.cs.cmu.edu/ • 15 sequences from Subject 86 • 1200~2600 frames and up to 10 actions/seq • Exclude the comparison with SW because it needs >1012 evaluations
Experiment (3): Discover Multiple Common Human Motions • Compare with LCCS* on -distance
Extension: Video Indexing • Goal: Given a query , find the best common subsequence in the target video • A straightforward extension: TemporalSearch Space
Summary • We have introduced: • NEW! ProblemAlgorithm Bounding functions • Able to discovery temporal commonality efficiently and effectively • Next: • Use submodular functions to improve speed • Explore more bounds for other metrics between temporal segments, such as dynamic time warping • More applications. E.g., video indexing, co-occurrence detection, irregularity detection, etc.
