Human Action Switching in HIV
<p>We evaluated switching in human action/verb fluency to examine how it associates with other measures of executive functioning and with difficulties in the performance of IADLs in a HIV+ sample. Our sample was comprised of 29 HIV+ participants. All the participants completed measures of phonetic …

Towards practical automated human action recognition
… requires addressing high-level concepts such as humans' actions and activities. Automated human action recognition is an interesting research area, as well as one of the main trends in the automated video survei1lance industry. The typical goal of action recognition is that of labelling an image …

Human Action Recognition in Still Images
Recently still image-based human action recognition has become an active research topic in computer vision and pattern recognition. It focuses on identifying a person's action or behavior from a single image. Unlike the traditional action recognition approaches where videos or image sequences are …

Human action recognition with 3D convolutional neural networks
… recently developed elements to present a human action recognition model which is up-to-date with current trends in CNNs and current hardware. Focus is applied to ensemble models and methods such as the Dropout technique, developed by Hinton et al. (2012) to reduce overfitting, and learning …

Hybrid architecture for human action recognition using skeleton data
… in skeleton based multi-person, multiview human action recognition. By leveraging attention-based GCN, the model captures context-dependent intrinsic topology while enhancing discriminative information. Furthermore, utilizing transformers, we harness their ability to aggregate long-range …

Vision-based human action recognition using machine learning techniques
… of this thesis is on automatic recognition of human actions in videos. Human action recognition is defined as automatic understating of what actions occur in a video performed by a human. This is a difficult problem due to the many challenges including, but not limited to, variations in human …

Shaping the perceptual representation of observed human action through prediction.
Understanding the actions of others is crucial for all social interactions. Despite a dynamic and complicated social world, humans can derive the goals, attitudes and beliefs that drive others’ actions, imbuing them with meaning and understanding. While such abilities were traditionally accounted …

Spatio-temporal human action detection and instance segmentation in videos
… thesis presents a series of models for automatic human action detection in videos and also addresses the space-time action instance segmentation problem. Both action detection and instance segmentation play vital roles in video understanding. Firstly, we propose a novel human action detection …

Dimensions of embodiment: Towards a conversational science of human action
George Kelly's Personal Construct Theory, especially as subsumed within the “conversational science" paradigm developed by Thomas and Harri-Augstein, is fundamentally a framework for a geometry of personal meaning in which all of the dimensions of distinction within a person’s experience are like …

Just spaces, just places : towards a theory of justice for human action in time and space
… planning theories that isolate intentions from actions, processes from ideals, individuals from institutions, and space from society . Central to all of these limits of knowledge and fragments of theory is an inadequately developed theory of human act, acting, and action in space and time. We …

Human action recognition in the real world: handling domain shift in open-set, source-free and multi-source scenarios
Human behavior understanding as an application of artificial intelligence and deep learning has quickly acquired popularity over the past few years, due to the crucial role it plays in trending fields such as human-robot interaction, autonomous driving, drone footage, sports and video surveillance. …

Beauty in everyday landscapes: film as a method of investigation of sensual perception, human action, movement and landscape performance in cities
… at all. It is the name of a particular interaction between two beings, a 'self' and an 'Other': 'I find an Other beautiful'. This act of discovery has profound implications. [']' It is also a dynamic experience. In that sense, Steiner goes on to explain that there is a decentering that occurs …

Structured video content analysis : learning spatio-temporal and multimodal structures
… and text, there is multimodal structure, e.g., human behavioral data shows correlation between audio (speech) and visual information (gesture). Identifying, formulating, and learning these structured patterns is a fundamental task in video content analysis. This thesis tackles two challenging …

Human and Animal Behavior Understanding
Human and animal behavior understanding is an important yet challenging task in computer vision. It has a variety of real-world applications including human computer interaction (HCI), video surveillance, pharmacology, genetics, etc. We first present an evaluation of spatiotemporal interest point …

An Exploration of Nature and Human Development in Young Adult Historical Fantasy
… writing focuses on the cause and effect of human action, assuming that it is the historian’s responsibility to recount the ebbs and flows of human progress. In the process of laying hold of the past as a narrative of human action, historical writing has developed the tendency to marginalise …
