Transfer learning, and multi-modality recognition
Low-rank transfer learning
 |
 |
[Introduction] Transfer learning provides techniques for transferring learned knowledge from a source domain to a target domain by finding a mapping between them. In this paper, we discuss a method for projecting both source and target data to a generalized subspace where each target sample can be represented by some combination of source samples. By employing a low-rank constraint during this transfer, the structure of source and target domains are preserved. This approach has three benefits.
Extensive experiments on synthetic data, and important computer vision problems such as face recognition application and visual domain adaptation for object recognition demonstrate the superiority of the proposed approach over the existing, well-established methods. [Related Work]

Multi-modality learning
 |
[Introduction] Recent face recognition work has concentrated on different spectral, i.e., near infrared, that can only be perceived by specifically designed device to avoid the illumination problem. This makes great sense in fighting off the lighting factors in face recognition. However, using near infrared for face recognition inevitably introduces a new problem, namely, cross-modality classification. In brief, images registered in the system are in one modality while images that captured momentarily used as the tests are in another modality. In addition, there could be many within-modality variations —pose, and expression — leading to a more complicated problem for the researchers. To address this problem, we propose a novel framework called hierarchical hyperlingual-words in this work. First, we design a novel structure, called generic hyperlingual-words, to capture the high-level semantics across different modal-ities and within each modality in weakly supervised fashion, meaning only modality pair and variations information are needed in the training. Second, to improve the discriminative power of hyperlingual-words, we propose a novel distance metric thorough the hierarchical structure of hyperlingual-words. Extensive experiments on multi-modality face databases demonstrate the superiority of our method compared to the state-of-the-art works on face recognition tasks subject to pose and expression variations.

Zero-shot learning
 |
 |
[Introduction] Zero-shot learning for visual recognition has achieved much interest in the most recent years. However, the se-mantic gap across visual features and their underlying se-mantics is still the biggest obstacle in zero-shot learning. To fight off this hurdle, we propose an effective Low-rank Embedded Semantic Dictionary learning (LESD) through ensemble strategy. Specifically, we formulate a novel frame-work to jointly seek a low-rank embedding and seman-tic dictionary to link visual features with their semantic representations, which manages to capture shared features across different observed classes. Moreover, ensemble s-trategy is adopted to learn multiple semantic dictionaries to constitute the latent basis for the unseen classes. Conse-quently, our model could extract a variety of visual char-acteristics within objects, which can be well generalized to unknown categories. Extensive experiments on several zero-shot benchmarks verify that the proposed model can outperform the state-of-the-art approaches. [Related Work]

Deep representation learning
Low-rank coding and dictionary learning
 |
 |
[Introduction] Low-rank and sparse modeling is a critical in robust feature learning, and transfer learning. Here we investigate the two usage of low-rank and sparse modeling: 1. deep robust encoder; 2. deep transfer learning. In the first work, we propose a novel Deep Robust Encoder (DRE) through locality preserving low-rank dictionary to extract robust and discriminative features from corrupted data, where a low-rank dictionary and a regularized deep auto-encoder are jointly optimized. First, we propose a novel loss function in the output layer with a learned low-rank clean dictionary and corresponding weights with locality information, which ensures that the reconstruction is noise free. Second, discriminant graph regularizers that preserve the local geometric structure with the data are developed to guide the deep feature learning in each encoding layer. Experimental results on several benchmarks including object and face images verify the effectiveness of our algorithm by comparing with the state-of-the-art approaches. In the second work, we develop a novel approach, called Deep Low-Rank Coding (DLRC), for trans-fer learning. Specifically, discriminative low-rank coding is achieved in the guidance of an iterative supervised structure term for each single layer. In this way, both marginal and conditional distributions between two domains are mitigated. In addition, a marginalized denoising feature transform is employed to guarantee the learned single-layer low-rank coding to be robust despite of corruptions or noises. Finally, by stacking multiple lay-ers of low-rank codings, we can build robust cross-domain features from coarse to fine. Experimental results on several benchmarks have demonstrated the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm on facilitating the performance for target domain. [Related Work]

Weak style learning
 |
 |
[Introduction] Style classification (e.g., Baroque and Gothic architecture style) is grabbing increasing attention in many fields such as fashion, architecture, and manga. Most existing methods focus on extracting discriminative features from local patches or patterns. However, the spread out phenomenon in style classification has not been recognized yet. It means that visually less representative images in a style class are usually very diverse and easily getting misclassified. We name them weak style images. Another issue when employing multiple visual features towards effective weak style classification is lack of consensus among different features. That is, weights for different visual features in the local patch should have been allocated similar values. To address these issues, we propose a Consensus Style Centralizing Auto-Encoder (CSCAE) for learning robust style features representation, especially for weak style classification. First, we propose a Style Centralizing Auto-Encoder (SCAE) which centralizes weak style features in a progressive way. Then, based on SCAE, we propose both the non-linear and linear version CSCAE which adaptively allocate weights for different features during the progressive centralization process. Consensus constraints are added based on the assumption that the weights of different features of the same patch should be similar. Specifically, the proposed linear counterpart of CSCAE motivated by the “shared weights” idea as well as group sparsity improves both efficacy and efficiency. For evaluations, we experiment extensively on fashion, manga and architecture style classification problems. In addition, we collect a new dataset—Online Shopping, for fashion style classification, which will be publicly available for vision based fashion style research. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the SCAE and CSCAE on both public and newly collected datasets when compared with the most recent state-of-the-art works. [Related Work]

Large-scale graph approximation and clustering
Graph approximation
 |
 |
[Introduction] We consider exploiting data’s structure for sparse graph approximations. Graphs play increasingly important roles in learning problems: manifold learning, kernel learning, and spectral clustering. Specifically, in this paper, we concentrate on nearest neighbor sparse graphs which are widely adopted in learning problems due to its spatial efficiency. Nonetheless, we raise an even challenging problem: can we save more memory space while keep competitive performance for the sparse graph? To this end, first, we propose to partition the entire graph into intra- and inter-graphs by exploring the graph structure, and use both of them for graph approximation. Therefore, neighborhood similarities within each cluster, and between different clusters are well preserved. Second, we improve the space use of the entire approximation algorithm. Specially, a novel sparse inter-graph approximation algorithm is proposed, and corresponding approximation error bound is provided. Third, extensive experiments are conducted on 11 real-world datasets, ranging from small- to large-scales, demonstrating that when using less space, our approximate graph can provide comparable or even better performance, in terms of approximation error, and clustering accuracy. In large-scale test, we use less than 1/100 memory of comparable algorithms, but achieve very appealing results. [Related Work] |

Fast deep clustering
[Introduction] Clustering has been one of the most critical unsupervised learning techniques that has been widely applied in data mining problems. As one of its branches, graph clustering enjoys its popularity due to its appealing performance and strong theoretical supports. However, the eigen-decomposition problems involved are computationally expensive. In this paper, we propose a deep structure with a linear coder as the building block for fast graph clustering, called Deep Linear Coding (DLC). Different from conventional coding schemes, we jointly learn the feature transform function and discriminative codings, and guarantee that the learned codes are robust in spite of local distortions. In addition, we use the proposed linear coders as the building blocks to formulate a deep structure to further refine features in a layerwise fashion. Extensive experiments on clustering tasks demonstrate that our method performs well in terms of both time com-plexity and clustering accuracy. On a large-scale benchmark dataset (580K), our method runs 1500 times faster than the original spectral clustering. [Related Work] |
Visual kinship understanding
 |
 |
[Introduction] There is an urgent need to organize and manage images of people automatically due to the recent explosion of such data on the web as well in social media. Beyond face detection and face recognition, which have been extensively studied over the past decade, the most interesting aspect related to human-centered images is the relationship of people in the image. In this work, we focus on a novel solution to the latter problem, in particular the kin relationships. Our contributions are two fold:

Occupation recognition
 |
 |
[Introduction] In this work, we investigate the problem of recognizing occupations of multiple people with arbitrary poses in a photo. Previous work utilizing single person's nearly frontal clothing information and fore/background context preliminarily proves that occupation recognition is computationally feasible in computer vision. A more challenging task is recognizing occupation of multiple people with arbitrary poses in a photo. To that end, we propose to use discriminant clothing features and demographics, as well as structure classifiers for occupation recognition. To evaluate our method’s performance, we conduct extensive experiments on a new well-labeled occupation database with 14 representative occupations and over 7K images. Results on this database validate our method’s effectiveness and show that occupation recognition is solv-able in a more general case. [Related Work]

Human reidentification
 |
 |
[Introduction] Person re-identification plays an important role in many safety-critical applications. Existing works mainly focus on extracting patch-level features or learning distance metrics. However, the representation power of extracted features might be limited, due to the various viewing conditions of pedestrian images in complex real-world scenarios. To improve the representation power of features, we learn discriminative and robust representations via dictionary learning in this paper. First, we propose a Cross-view Dictionary Learning (CDL) model, which is a general solution to the multi-view learning problem. Second, we propose a Cross-view Multi-level Dictionary Learning (CMDL) approach based on CDL. CMDL contains dictionary learning models at different representation levels, including image-level, horizontal part-level, and patch-level. Third, we incorporate a discriminative regularization term to CMDL, and propose a CMDL-Dis approach which learns pairs of discriminative dictionaries in image-level and part-level. We devise efficient optimization algorithms to solve the proposed models. Finally, a fusion strategy is utilized to generate the similarity scores for test images. Experiments on the public VIPeR, CUHK Campus, iLIDS, GRID and PRID450S datasets show that our approach achieves the state-of-the-art performance. [Related Work]

Human action recognition/dtection
Human action detection
 |
 |
[Introduction] We present a multi-stream bi-directional recurrent neu-ral network for fine-grained action detection. Recently, two-stream convolutional neural networks (CNNs) trained on stacked optical flow and image frames have been successful for action recognition in videos. Our system uses a track-ing algorithm to locate a bounding box around the person, which provides a frame of reference for appearance and motion and also suppresses background noise that is not within the bounding box. We train two additional streams on motion and appearance cropped to the tracked bounding box, along with full-frame streams. Our motion streams use pixel trajectories of a frame as raw features, in which the displacement values corresponding to a moving scene point are at the same spatial position across several frames. To model long-term temporal dynamics within and between ac-tions, the multi-stream CNN is followed by a bi-directional Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) layer. We test on two action detection datasets: the MPII Cooking 2 Dataset, and a new MERL Shopping Dataset that we introduce and make available to the community with this paper. The re-sults demonstrate that our method significantly outperforms state-of-the-art action detection methods on both datasets. [Related Work]

Human action recognition
 |
 |
[Introduction] In the action recognition work, we primarily focus on two problems. First, we approach action recognition through temporal alignment, and use sparse modeling to precisely align two videos by selecting key frames in different challenges: sub-action, multi-subject and multi-modality. Second, we try to approach action recognition with noisy data, that is video data contains both spatial and temporal corruptions. In this work, we propose a Coupled Stacked Denoising Tensor Auto-Encoder (CSDTAE) model, which approaches this corruption problem in a divide-and-conquer fashion by jointing both the spatial and temporal schemes together. In particular, each scheme is a Stacked Denoising Tensor Auto-Encoder (SDTAE) designed to handle either spatial or temporal corruption, respectively. SDTAE is composed of several blocks, each of which is a Denoising Tensor Auto-Encoder (DTAE). Therefore, CSDTAE is designed based on several DTAE building blocks to solve the spatiotemporal corruption problem simultaneously. [Related Work]
