Despite the recent success of video self-supervised learning, there is much still to be understood about their generalization capability. In this paper, we investigate how sensitive video self-supervised learning is to the currently used benchmark convention and whether methods generalize beyond the canonical evaluation setting. We do this across four different factors of sensitivity: domain, samples, actions and task. Our comprehensive set of over 500 experiments, which encompasses 7 video datasets, 9 self-supervised methods and 6 video understanding tasks, reveals that current benchmarks in video self-supervised learning are not a good indicator of generalization along these sensitivity factors. Further, we find that self-supervised methods considerably lag behind vanilla supervised pre-training, especially when domain shift is large and the amount of available downstream samples are low. From our analysis we distill the SEVERE-benchmark, a subset of our experiments, and discuss its implication for evaluating the generalizability of representations obtained by existing and future self-supervised video learning methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ceessnoek.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/CC8F102D-6EFA-408C-950F-E7C1E5260B4F.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2199\" height=\"838\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ceessnoek.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/CC8F102D-6EFA-408C-950F-E7C1E5260B4F.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4013\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ceessnoek.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/CC8F102D-6EFA-408C-950F-E7C1E5260B4F.jpeg 2199w, https:\/\/www.ceessnoek.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/CC8F102D-6EFA-408C-950F-E7C1E5260B4F-300x114.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.ceessnoek.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/CC8F102D-6EFA-408C-950F-E7C1E5260B4F-1024x390.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ceessnoek.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/CC8F102D-6EFA-408C-950F-E7C1E5260B4F-768x293.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.ceessnoek.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/CC8F102D-6EFA-408C-950F-E7C1E5260B4F-1536x585.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ceessnoek.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/CC8F102D-6EFA-408C-950F-E7C1E5260B4F-2048x780.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2199px) 100vw, 2199px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ECCV 2022 paper &#8220;How Severe is Benchmark-Sensitivity in Video Self-Supervised Learning?&#8221; by Fida Mohammad Thoker, Hazel Doughty, Piyush Bagad, Cees Snoek is now available together with a project website and GitHub repo.
