Panoptic Segmentation
We propose and study a task we name panoptic segmentation (PS). Panoptic
segmentation unifies the typically distinct tasks of semantic segmentation
(assign a class label to each pixel) and instance segmentation (detect and
segment each object instance). The proposed task requires generating a coherent
scene segmentation that is rich and complete, an important step toward
real-world vision systems. While early work in computer vision addressed
related image/scene parsing tasks, these are not currently popular, possibly
due to lack of appropriate metrics or associated recognition challenges. To
address this, we propose a novel panoptic quality (PQ) metric that captures
performance for all classes (stuff and things) in an interpretable and unified
manner. Using the proposed metric, we perform a rigorous study of both human
and machine performance for PS on three existing datasets, revealing
interesting insights about the task. The aim of our work is to revive the
interest of the community in a more unified view of image segmentation.Comment: accepted to CVPR 201
Ranking-based Deep Cross-modal Hashing
Cross-modal hashing has been receiving increasing interests for its low
storage cost and fast query speed in multi-modal data retrievals. However, most
existing hashing methods are based on hand-crafted or raw level features of
objects, which may not be optimally compatible with the coding process.
Besides, these hashing methods are mainly designed to handle simple pairwise
similarity. The complex multilevel ranking semantic structure of instances
associated with multiple labels has not been well explored yet. In this paper,
we propose a ranking-based deep cross-modal hashing approach (RDCMH). RDCMH
firstly uses the feature and label information of data to derive a
semi-supervised semantic ranking list. Next, to expand the semantic
representation power of hand-crafted features, RDCMH integrates the semantic
ranking information into deep cross-modal hashing and jointly optimizes the
compatible parameters of deep feature representations and of hashing functions.
Experiments on real multi-modal datasets show that RDCMH outperforms other
competitive baselines and achieves the state-of-the-art performance in
cross-modal retrieval applications
ResumeNet: A Learning-based Framework for Automatic Resume Quality Assessment
Recruitment of appropriate people for certain positions is critical for any
companies or organizations. Manually screening to select appropriate candidates
from large amounts of resumes can be exhausted and time-consuming. However,
there is no public tool that can be directly used for automatic resume quality
assessment (RQA). This motivates us to develop a method for automatic RQA.
Since there is also no public dataset for model training and evaluation, we
build a dataset for RQA by collecting around 10K resumes, which are provided by
a private resume management company. By investigating the dataset, we identify
some factors or features that could be useful to discriminate good resumes from
bad ones, e.g., the consistency between different parts of a resume. Then a
neural-network model is designed to predict the quality of each resume, where
some text processing techniques are incorporated. To deal with the label
deficiency issue in the dataset, we propose several variants of the model by
either utilizing the pair/triplet-based loss, or introducing some
semi-supervised learning technique to make use of the abundant unlabeled data.
Both the presented baseline model and its variants are general and easy to
implement. Various popular criteria including the receiver operating
characteristic (ROC) curve, F-measure and ranking-based average precision (AP)
are adopted for model evaluation. We compare the different variants with our
baseline model. Since there is no public algorithm for RQA, we further compare
our results with those obtained from a website that can score a resume.
Experimental results in terms of different criteria demonstrate the
effectiveness of the proposed method. We foresee that our approach would
transform the way of future human resources management.Comment: ICD
