Researchers have introduced CEZSAR, a new method for zero-shot action recognition that utilizes contrastive learning to bridge the semantic gap between textual descriptions and visual representations. The approach encodes videos and their corresponding natural-language descriptions into a shared embedding space. To enhance training, CEZSAR incorporates an automatic negative sampling procedure to generate unpaired data, effectively augmenting the dataset with unrelated visual and textual elements. This method achieves state-of-the-art performance on the UCF-101 and Kinetics-400 datasets. AI
