iqiyi Submission to ActivityNet Challenge 2019 Kinetics-700 challenge: Hierarchical Group-wise Attention

In this report, the method for the iqiyi submission to the task of ActivityNet 2019 Kinetics-700 challenge is described. Three models are involved in the model ensemble stage: TSN, HG-NL and StNet. We propose the hierarchical group-wise non-local (HG-NL) module for frame-level features aggregation for video classification. The standard non-local (NL) module is effective in aggregating frame-level features on the task of video classification but presents low parameters efficiency and high computational cost. The HG-NL method involves a hierarchical group-wise structure and generates multiple attention maps to enhance performance. Basing on this hierarchical group-wise structure, the proposed method has competitive accuracy, fewer parameters and smaller computational cost than the standard NL. For the task of ActivityNet 2019 Kinetics-700 challenge, after model ensemble, we finally obtain an averaged top-1 and top-5 error percentage 28.444% on the test set.
