The videos are crowdsourcingly annotated. On skating sports videos. To address this task, we propose a deep these video datasets, the most common efforts are mainly made architecture that includes two complementary components, i.e., on video classification [19], [21], video event detection [38], Self-Attentive LSTM and Multi-scale Convolutional Skip LSTM. These two components can efficiently learn the local and global action detection and so on. sequential information in each video. Furthermore, we present a Remarkably, inspired by Pirsiavash et al. [41], this paper large-scale figure skating sports video dataset – FisV dataset. This addresses a novel task of learning to score figure skating dataset includes 500 figure skating videos with the average length sport videos, which is very different from previous action of 2 minutes and 50 seconds. Each video is annotated by two recognition task. Specifically, in this task, the model must scores of nine different referees, i.e., Total Element Score(TES) and Total Program Component Score (PCS). Our proposed model understand every clip of figure skating video (e.g., averagely is validated on FisV and MIT-skate datasets. The experimental 4400 frames in our Fis-V dataset) to predict the scores. In results show the effectiveness of our models in learning to score contrast, one can easily judge the action label from the parts of the figure skating videos. videos in action recognition.
