Class-attention Video Transformer for Engagement Intensity Prediction

In order to deal with variant-length long videos, prior works extract multi-modal features and fuse them to predict students' engagement intensity. In this paper, we present a new end-to-end method Class Attention in Video Transformer (CavT), which involves a single vector to process class embedding and to uniformly perform end-to-end learning on variant-length long videos and fixed-length short videos. Furthermore, to address the lack of sufficient samples, we propose a binary-order representatives sampling method (BorS) to add multiple video sequences of each video to augment the training set. BorS+CavT not only achieves the state-of-the-art MSE (0.0495) on the EmotiW-EP dataset, but also obtains the state-of-the-art MSE (0.0377) on the DAiSEE dataset.
