Deep Dictionary Learning: A PARametric NETwork Approach
Deep dictionary learning seeks multiple dictionaries at different image
scales to capture complementary coherent characteristics. We propose a method
for learning a hierarchy of synthesis dictionaries with an image classification
goal. The dictionaries and classification parameters are trained by a
classification objective, and the sparse features are extracted by reducing a
reconstruction loss in each layer. The reconstruction objectives in some sense
regularize the classification problem and inject source signal information in
the extracted features. The performance of the proposed hierarchical method
increases by adding more layers, which consequently makes this model easier to
tune and adapt. The proposed algorithm furthermore, shows remarkably lower
fooling rate in presence of adversarial perturbation. The validation of the
proposed approach is based on its classification performance using four
benchmark datasets and is compared to a CNN of similar size
Asymmetric Pruning for Learning Cascade Detectors
Cascade classifiers are one of the most important contributions to real-time
object detection. Nonetheless, there are many challenging problems arising in
training cascade detectors. One common issue is that the node classifier is
trained with a symmetric classifier. Having a low misclassification error rate
does not guarantee an optimal node learning goal in cascade classifiers, i.e.,
an extremely high detection rate with a moderate false positive rate. In this
work, we present a new approach to train an effective node classifier in a
cascade detector. The algorithm is based on two key observations: 1) Redundant
weak classifiers can be safely discarded; 2) The final detector should satisfy
the asymmetric learning objective of the cascade architecture. To achieve this,
we separate the classifier training into two steps: finding a pool of
discriminative weak classifiers/features and training the final classifier by
pruning weak classifiers which contribute little to the asymmetric learning
criterion (asymmetric classifier construction). Our model reduction approach
helps accelerate the learning time while achieving the pre-determined learning
objective. Experimental results on both face and car data sets verify the
effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. On the FDDB face data sets, our
approach achieves the state-of-the-art performance, which demonstrates the
advantage of our approach.Comment: 14 page
