Claim 6:
7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the method further comprises generating a training dataset by:
receiving a set of training videos of the surgical procedure, wherein each video in the set of training videos corresponds to an execution of the surgical procedure performed by a surgeon skilled in the surgical procedure;
for each training video in the set of training videos, constructing a set of labeled training data by performing a sequence of training data generation steps at a sequence of equally-spaced time points throughout the training video according to a predetermined time-interval, wherein each training data generation step in the sequence of training data generation steps at a corresponding time point in the sequence of time points includes:
receiving a current frame of the training video at the corresponding time point;
randomly sampling N−1 additional frames of the training video corresponding to the elapsed portion of the surgical session between the beginning of the training video and the current frame;
combining the N−1 randomly sampled frames and the current frame in the temporal order to obtain a set of N frames; and
labeling the set of N frames with a label associated with the current frame; and

outputting multiple sets of labeled training data associated with the set of training videos.
