In this episode of the Talking Papers Podcast, I hosted Jiahao Zhang to chat about our CVPR 2023 paper "Aligning Step-by-Step Instructional Diagrams to Video Demonstrations".

furniture assembly diagram. To do that, we collected and annotated a brand new dataset: "IKEA Assembly in the Wild" where we aligned YouTube videos with IKEA's instruction manuals. Our approach to addressing this task proposes several supervised contrastive losses that contrast between video and diagram, video and manual, and internal manual images.

Jiahao is currently a PhD student at the Australian National University. His research focus is on human action recognition and multi-modal representation alignment. We first met (virtually) when Jiahao did his Honours project, where he developed an amazing (and super useful) video annotation tool ViDaT. His strong software engineering and web development background gives him a strong advantage when working on his research projects. Even though we never met in person (yet), we are actively collaborating and I already know what he is cooking up next. I hope to share it with the world soon.

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
