Discrete Multi-modal Hashing with Canonical Views for Robust Mobile Landmark Search
Mobile landmark search (MLS) recently receives increasing attention for its
great practical values. However, it still remains unsolved due to two important
challenges. One is high bandwidth consumption of query transmission, and the
other is the huge visual variations of query images sent from mobile devices.
In this paper, we propose a novel hashing scheme, named as canonical view based
discrete multi-modal hashing (CV-DMH), to handle these problems via a novel
three-stage learning procedure. First, a submodular function is designed to
measure visual representativeness and redundancy of a view set. With it,
canonical views, which capture key visual appearances of landmark with limited
redundancy, are efficiently discovered with an iterative mining strategy.
Second, multi-modal sparse coding is applied to transform visual features from
multiple modalities into an intermediate representation. It can robustly and
adaptively characterize visual contents of varied landmark images with certain
canonical views. Finally, compact binary codes are learned on intermediate
representation within a tailored discrete binary embedding model which
preserves visual relations of images measured with canonical views and removes
the involved noises. In this part, we develop a new augmented Lagrangian
multiplier (ALM) based optimization method to directly solve the discrete
binary codes. We can not only explicitly deal with the discrete constraint, but
also consider the bit-uncorrelated constraint and balance constraint together.
Experiments on real world landmark datasets demonstrate the superior
performance of CV-DMH over several state-of-the-art methods
Joint & Progressive Learning from High-Dimensional Data for Multi-Label Classification
Despite the fact that nonlinear subspace learning techniques (e.g. manifold
learning) have successfully applied to data representation, there is still room
for improvement in explainability (explicit mapping), generalization
(out-of-samples), and cost-effectiveness (linearization). To this end, a novel
linearized subspace learning technique is developed in a joint and progressive
way, called \textbf{j}oint and \textbf{p}rogressive \textbf{l}earning
str\textbf{a}teg\textbf{y} (J-Play), with its application to multi-label
classification. The J-Play learns high-level and semantically meaningful
feature representation from high-dimensional data by 1) jointly performing
multiple subspace learning and classification to find a latent subspace where
samples are expected to be better classified; 2) progressively learning
multi-coupled projections to linearly approach the optimal mapping bridging the
original space with the most discriminative subspace; 3) locally embedding
manifold structure in each learnable latent subspace. Extensive experiments are
performed to demonstrate the superiority and effectiveness of the proposed
method in comparison with previous state-of-the-art methods.Comment: accepted in ECCV 201
