Fidelity-Weighted Learning
Training deep neural networks requires many training samples, but in practice
training labels are expensive to obtain and may be of varying quality, as some
may be from trusted expert labelers while others might be from heuristics or
other sources of weak supervision such as crowd-sourcing. This creates a
fundamental quality versus-quantity trade-off in the learning process. Do we
learn from the small amount of high-quality data or the potentially large
amount of weakly-labeled data? We argue that if the learner could somehow know
and take the label-quality into account when learning the data representation,
we could get the best of both worlds. To this end, we propose
"fidelity-weighted learning" (FWL), a semi-supervised student-teacher approach
for training deep neural networks using weakly-labeled data. FWL modulates the
parameter updates to a student network (trained on the task we care about) on a
per-sample basis according to the posterior confidence of its label-quality
estimated by a teacher (who has access to the high-quality labels). Both
student and teacher are learned from the data. We evaluate FWL on two tasks in
information retrieval and natural language processing where we outperform
state-of-the-art alternative semi-supervised methods, indicating that our
approach makes better use of strong and weak labels, and leads to better
task-dependent data representations.Comment: Published as a conference paper at ICLR 201
Graph Distillation for Action Detection with Privileged Modalities
We propose a technique that tackles action detection in multimodal videos
under a realistic and challenging condition in which only limited training data
and partially observed modalities are available. Common methods in transfer
learning do not take advantage of the extra modalities potentially available in
the source domain. On the other hand, previous work on multimodal learning only
focuses on a single domain or task and does not handle the modality discrepancy
between training and testing. In this work, we propose a method termed graph
distillation that incorporates rich privileged information from a large-scale
multimodal dataset in the source domain, and improves the learning in the
target domain where training data and modalities are scarce. We evaluate our
approach on action classification and detection tasks in multimodal videos, and
show that our model outperforms the state-of-the-art by a large margin on the
NTU RGB+D and PKU-MMD benchmarks. The code is released at

Organisational symbols : reflections of organisational culture?
The objective of this paper is to discuss the role(s) of organisational symbols in representing organisational identity. To what extent do the so-called organisational symbols have significant impact on the employees in an
organisation in identifying themselves with the organisational identity? Is it due to the top-down approach imposed by the top management? This paper is based on a six month ethnographic study conducted in selected Information
Communication Technology (ICT) based corporations in one of the Malaysian Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) cities. From the findings, there are three main organisational symbols which are related to organisational identity : identity cards, black sofa, and office cubicles. The paper concludes that the construction of organisational symbols is a mix of a controlled culture (topdown) and to a certain degree is the participative activity of the employees.
Nevertheless, the organisational symbols are embraced by the employees due to the need to be identified with an organisation
End-to-end Learning of Driving Models from Large-scale Video Datasets
Robust perception-action models should be learned from training data with
diverse visual appearances and realistic behaviors, yet current approaches to
deep visuomotor policy learning have been generally limited to in-situ models
learned from a single vehicle or a simulation environment. We advocate learning
a generic vehicle motion model from large scale crowd-sourced video data, and
develop an end-to-end trainable architecture for learning to predict a
distribution over future vehicle egomotion from instantaneous monocular camera
observations and previous vehicle state. Our model incorporates a novel
FCN-LSTM architecture, which can be learned from large-scale crowd-sourced
vehicle action data, and leverages available scene segmentation side tasks to
improve performance under a privileged learning paradigm.Comment: camera ready for CVPR201
