The central idea of contrastive learning is to discriminate between different instances and force different views of the same instance to share the same representation. To avoid trivial solutions, augmentation plays an important role in generating different views, among which random cropping is shown to be effective for the model to learn a strong and generalized representation. Commonly used random crop operation keeps the difference between two views statistically consistent along the training process. In this work, we challenge this convention by showing that adaptively controlling the disparity between two augmented views along the training process enhances the quality of the learnt representation. Specifically, we present a parametric cubic cropping operation, ParamCrop, for video contrastive learning, which automatically crops a 3D cubic from the video by differentiable 3D affine transformations. ParamCrop is trained simultaneously with the video backbone using an adversarial objective and learns an optimal cropping strategy from the data. The visualizations show that the center distance and the IoU between two augmented views are adaptively controlled by ParamCrop and the learned change in the disparity along the training process is beneficial to learning a strong representation. Extensive ablation studies demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed ParamCrop on multiple contrastive learning frameworks and video backbones. With ParamCrop, we improve the state-of-the-art performance on both HMDB51 and UCF101 datasets.
In this paper, we propose Parametric Contrastive Learning (PaCo) to tackle long-tailed recognition. Based on theoretical analysis, we observe supervised contrastive loss tends to bias on high-frequency classes and thus increases the difficulty of imb
We present a self-supervised Contrastive Video Representation Learning (CVRL) method to learn spatiotemporal visual representations from unlabeled videos. Our representations are learned using a contrastive loss, where two augmented clips from the sa
Contrastive learning has revolutionized self-supervised image representation learning field, and recently been adapted to video domain. One of the greatest advantages of contrastive learning is that it allows us to flexibly define powerful loss objec
Learning transferable and domain adaptive feature representations from videos is important for video-relevant tasks such as action recognition. Existing video domain adaptation methods mainly rely on adversarial feature alignment, which has been deri
In medical imaging, manual annotations can be expensive to acquire and sometimes infeasible to access, making conventional deep learning-based models difficult to scale. As a result, it would be beneficial if useful representations could be derived f
