Papers by AltumView:

  • Soroush Oraki, Feng Ding, Jie Liang, SCALE: Semantic- and Confidence-Aware Conditional Variational Autoencoder for Zero-shot Skeleton-based Action Recognition,  ICPR 2026.
  • S. Oraki, H. Zhuang, and J. Liang, “LORTSAR: Low-Rank Transformer for Skeleton-based Action Recognition,”  19th International Symposium on Visual Computing, Lake Tahoe, NV, Oct. 2024. (This paper is the first that applies the low-rank approximation method in large language models (LLMs) to skeleton-based human action recognition, which can significantly reduce the number of model parameters with negligible performance degradation or even better performance after retraining.)
