LoSA introduces a memory- and parameter-efficient adapter that enables end-to-end backbone adaptation of billion-parameter video foundation models for temporal action localization in untrimmed videos. This approach achieves state-of-the-art performance on THUMOS-14 and ActivityNet-v1.3 datasets, making it feasible to leverage large models for complex video understanding tasks.

Key insights

  • Capturing both short-range (fine-grained) and long-range (global) temporal dependencies is essential for accurate temporal action localization in untrimmed videos.
  • An adaptive, gated fusion mechanism for combining multi-range temporal features from various backbone layers yields higher performance than simpler aggregation methods.
  • Memory-and-parameter-efficient parallel adapter designs can overcome GPU memory limitations, enabling end-to-end adaptation for billion-parameter video foundation models.
