About

Understanding human activity and thus effectively collaborating with humans is critical for some artificial intelligence systems. It is a very challenging problem which involves multiple tasks such as human action detection, person tracking, pose estimation, human-object interaction, and so on. Each of them has been independently developed into a research sub-area. Among them, however, there may exist some connections, which can be leveraged to boost the recognition. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together the research on human activity understanding, which hopefully can trigger more discussions on cross-task recognition and inspire new research ideas for human-centric activity understanding. This workshop encourages multi-task pattern recognition research, such as joint action detection and person tracking, joint event segmentation and recognition, joint pose tracking and estimation, and so on.
