Holistic Large Scale Video Understanding


Action recognition has been advanced in recent years by benchmarks with rich annotations. However, research is still mainly limited to human action or sports recognition - focusing on a highly specific video understanding task and thus leaving a significant gap towards describing the overall content of a video. We fill in this gap by presenting a large-scale "Holistic Video Understanding Dataset"~(HVU). HVU is organized hierarchically in a semantic taxonomy that focuses on multi-label and multi-task video understanding as a comprehensive problem that encompasses the recognition of multiple semantic aspects in the dynamic scene. HVU contains approx.~577k videos in total with ~13M annotations for training and validation set spanning over ~3k classes. HVU encompasses semantic aspects defined on categories of scenes, objects, actions, events, attributes and concepts, which naturally captures the real-world scenarios.
