Narrating Human Actions

Qualitative Inquiry, 2008
In this article, the authors offer a model for the exploration of the ways social actors narrate the forces that have driven their lives. They position this exploration in light of the notions of agency, structure, communion, and serendipity, as formulated in various social-science theories of human action, viewed as part of the cultural repertoire of

Perception of Human Action

1960
It’s about time, I think, we stop allowing behaviorism to scare us away from the study of behavior. If we want to learn something about human behavior, I believe the best idea is to start studying it in whatever way we can.

La Clinica terapeutica, 2010
The term "human action" designates the intentional and deliberate movement that is proper and exclusive to mankind. Human action is a unified structure: knowledge, intention or volition, deliberation, decision or choice of means and execution. The integration between these dimensions appears as a task that demands strength of will to achieve the ...

Cross-Domain Human Action Recognition

IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, Part B (Cybernetics), 2012
Conventional human action recognition algorithms cannot work well when the amount of training videos is insufficient. We solve this problem by proposing a transfer topic model (TTM), which utilizes information extracted from videos in the auxiliary domain to assist recognition tasks in the target domain. The TTM is well characterized by two aspects: 1)

On Human Action

2011
In this chapter we briefly discuss how human actions can be modeled. In particular, we very briefly review different approaches taken in computer vision and robotics. We touch briefly on concepts such as affordances, scene states, object-action complexes, action primitives, imitation learning, etc., and we relate the different approaches taken in ...

Causing Human Actions

2010
Leading figures working in the philosophy of action debate foundational issues relating to the causal theory of action. The causal theory of action (CTA) is widely recognized in the literature of the philosophy of action as the "standard story" of human action and agency—the nearest approximation in the field to a theoretical orthodoxy ...

Recognizing human actions

Proceedings of the third ACM international workshop on Video surveillance & sensor networks, 2005
Recognition of human actions from video sequences is a very active area of research in Computer Vision. An important step in any action recognition approach is the extraction of useful information form a raw video data and its subsequent representation.
