**TLDR:** A task that segments long video streams into meaningful action units and assigns an action label to each temporal interval.

<p>Temporal action segmentation makes continuous video data suitable for process and task analysis by dividing it into action blocks. Assembly lines, surgical procedures, sports training, and user behavior monitoring are key applications. The model must learn not only to recognize events but also to determine their boundaries and transition logic.</p>
