1st Place Solution to the EPIC-Kitchens Action Anticipation Challenge 2022

Abstract

In this report, we describe the technical details of our submission to the EPIC-Kitchens Action Anticipation Challenge 2022. In this competition, we develop the following two approaches. 1) Anticipation Time Knowledge Distillation using the soft labels learned by the teacher model as knowledge to guide the student network to learn the information of anticipation time; 2) Verb-Noun Relation Module for building the relationship between verbs and nouns. Our method achieves state-of-the-art results on the testing set of EPIC-Kitchens Action Anticipation Challenge 2022.
