ABSTRACT
How can we learn models for hand pose estimation without any (real-world) labels? This talk presents our recent efforts in tackling the challenging scenario of learning from labelled synthetic data and unlabelled real-world data. I will focus on two strategies that we find to be effective: (1) cross-modal consistency and alignment for representation learning and (2) pseudo-label corrections and refinement.The second part of the talk will introduce Assembly101, our newly recorded dataset that tackles 3D hand pose and action understanding over time. Assembly101 is a new procedural activity dataset featuring multiview + egocentric videos of people assembling and disassembling “take-apart” toy vehicles.
