SDN: Scene Debiasing Network for Action Recognition in PyTorch

We release the code of the "Why Can't I Dance in the Mall? Learning to Mitigate Scene Bias in Action Recognition". The code is built upon the 3D-ResNets-PyTorch codebase.

For the details, visit our project website or see our full paper.

--annotation_path $anno_path \
--result_path <path to save your fine-tuned model> \
--pretrain_path <pre-trained model file path: e.g., your full SDN model path>

Test

python train.py \
