Anticipating Object State Changes in Long Procedural Videos
In this work, we introduce (a) the new problem of anticipating object state changes in images and videos during procedural activities, (b) new curated annotation data for object state change classification based on the Ego4D dataset, and (c) the first method for addressing this challenging problem. Solutions to this new task have important implications in vision-based scene understanding, automated monitoring systems, and action planning. The proposed novel framework predicts object state changes that will occur in the near future due to yet unseen human actions by integrating learned visual features that represent recent visual information with natural language (NLP) features that represent past object state changes and actions. Leveraging the extensive and challenging Ego4D dataset which provides a large-scale collection of first-person perspective videos across numerous interaction scenarios, we introduce an extension noted Ego4D-OSCA that provides new curated annotation data for the object state change anticipation task (OSCA). An extensive experimental evaluation is presented demonstrating the proposed method's efficacy in predicting object state changes in dynamic scenarios. The performance of the proposed approach also underscores the potential of integrating video and linguistic cues to enhance the predictive performance of video understanding systems and lays the groundwork for future research on the new task of object state change anticipation. The source code and the new annotation data (Ego4D-OSCA) will be made publicly available.

Simulating Action Dynamics with Neural Process Networks
Understanding procedural language requires anticipating the causal effects of actions, even when they are not explicitly stated. In this work, we introduce Neural Process Networks to understand procedural text through (n…
Understanding Procedural Text using Interactive Entity Networks
The task of procedural text comprehension aims to understand the dynamic nature of entities/objects in a process. Here, the key is to track how the entities interact with each other and how their states are changing alon…
Reading ComprehensionTRAFA: Anticipating User Actions to Reduce Errors in Procedural Tasks with Predictive Feedback
Interactive assistance systems typically provide feedback after an action has been completed, supporting error recovery but not preventing the error itself. We present TRAFA, a real-time predictive feedback system for pr…
MistExit: Learning to Exit for Early Mistake Detection in Procedural Videos
We introduce the task of early mistake detection in video, where the goal is to determine whether a keystep in a procedural activity is performed correctly while observing as little of the streaming video as possible. To…
Reinforcement LearningHuman Motion Anticipation with Symbolic Label
Anticipating human motion depends on two factors: the past motion and the person's intention. While the first factor has been extensively utilized to forecast short sequences of human motion, the second one remains elusi…
