We consider automated detection of events in video without the use of any visual training examples. A common approach is to represent videos as classification scores obtained from a vocabulary of pre-trained concept classifiers. Where others construct the vocabulary by training individual concept classifiers, we propose to train classifiers for combination of concepts composed by Boolean logic operators. We call these concept combinations composite concepts and contribute an algorithm that automatically discovers them from existing video-level concept annotations. We discover composite concepts by jointly optimizing the accuracy of concept classifiers and their effectiveness for detecting events. We demonstrate that by combining concepts into composite concepts, we can train more accurate classifiers for the concept vocabulary, which leads to improved zero-shot event detection. Moreover, we demonstrate …
