Craig Wright Faces Perjury Investigation Over Claims He Created Bitcoin

PARSE-Ego4D: Personal Action Recommendation Suggestions for Egocentric Videos

PARSE-Ego4D: Personal Action Recommendation Suggestions for Egocentric Videos

arXiv:2407.09503v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Intelligent assistance involves not only understanding but also action. Existing ego-centric video datasets contain rich annotations of the videos, but not of actions that an intelligent assistant could perform in the moment. To address this gap, we release PARSE-Ego4D, a new set of personal action recommendation annotations for the Ego4D dataset. We take a multi-stage approach to generating and evaluating these annotations. First, we used a prompt-engineered large language model (LLM) to generate context-aware action suggestions and identified over 18,000 action suggestions. While these synthetic action suggestions are valuable, the inherent limitations of LLMs necessitate…
