  We present an unsupervised representation learning approach that compactly
encodes the motion dependencies in videos. Given a pair of images from a video
clip, our framework learns to predict the long-term 3D motions. To reduce the
complexity of the learning framework, we propose to describe the motion as a
sequence of atomic 3D flows computed with RGB-D modality. We use a Recurrent
Neural Network based Encoder-Decoder framework to predict these sequences of
flows. We argue that in order for the decoder to reconstruct these sequences,
the encoder must learn a robust video representation that captures long-term
motion dependencies and spatial-temporal relations. We demonstrate the
effectiveness of our learned temporal representations on activity
classification across multiple modalities and datasets such as NTU RGB+D and
MSR Daily Activity 3D. Our framework is generic to any input modality, i.e.,
RGB, Depth, and RGB-D videos.
