Multiscale Adaptive Representation of Signals: I. The Basic Framework
We introduce a framework for designing multi-scale, adaptive, shift-invariant
frames and bi-frames for representing signals. The new framework, called
AdaFrame, improves over dictionary learning-based techniques in terms of
computational efficiency at inference time. It improves classical multi-scale
basis such as wavelet frames in terms of coding efficiency. It provides an
attractive alternative to dictionary learning-based techniques for low level
signal processing tasks, such as compression and denoising, as well as high
level tasks, such as feature extraction for object recognition. Connections
with deep convolutional networks are also discussed. In particular, the
proposed framework reveals a drawback in the commonly used approach for
visualizing the activations of the intermediate layers in convolutional
networks, and suggests a natural alternative
Good Features to Correlate for Visual Tracking
During the recent years, correlation filters have shown dominant and
spectacular results for visual object tracking. The types of the features that
are employed in these family of trackers significantly affect the performance
of visual tracking. The ultimate goal is to utilize robust features invariant
to any kind of appearance change of the object, while predicting the object
location as properly as in the case of no appearance change. As the deep
learning based methods have emerged, the study of learning features for
specific tasks has accelerated. For instance, discriminative visual tracking
methods based on deep architectures have been studied with promising
performance. Nevertheless, correlation filter based (CFB) trackers confine
themselves to use the pre-trained networks which are trained for object
classification problem. To this end, in this manuscript the problem of learning
deep fully convolutional features for the CFB visual tracking is formulated. In
order to learn the proposed model, a novel and efficient backpropagation
algorithm is presented based on the loss function of the network. The proposed
learning framework enables the network model to be flexible for a custom
design. Moreover, it alleviates the dependency on the network trained for
classification. Extensive performance analysis shows the efficacy of the
proposed custom design in the CFB tracking framework. By fine-tuning the
convolutional parts of a state-of-the-art network and integrating this model to
a CFB tracker, which is the top performing one of VOT2016, 18% increase is
achieved in terms of expected average overlap, and tracking failures are
decreased by 25%, while maintaining the superiority over the state-of-the-art
methods in OTB-2013 and OTB-2015 tracking datasets.Comment: Accepted version of IEEE Transactions on Image Processin
Jitter-Adaptive Dictionary Learning - Application to Multi-Trial Neuroelectric Signals
Dictionary Learning has proven to be a powerful tool for many image
processing tasks, where atoms are typically defined on small image patches. As
a drawback, the dictionary only encodes basic structures. In addition, this
approach treats patches of different locations in one single set, which means a
loss of information when features are well-aligned across signals. This is the
case, for instance, in multi-trial magneto- or electroencephalography (M/EEG).
Learning the dictionary on the entire signals could make use of the alignement
and reveal higher-level features. In this case, however, small missalignements
or phase variations of features would not be compensated for. In this paper, we
propose an extension to the common dictionary learning framework to overcome
these limitations by allowing atoms to adapt their position across signals. The
method is validated on simulated and real neuroelectric data.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figures, minor correction
Deep fusion of multi-channel neurophysiological signal for emotion recognition and monitoring
How to fuse multi-channel neurophysiological signals for emotion recognition is emerging as a hot research topic in community of Computational Psychophysiology. Nevertheless, prior feature engineering based approaches require extracting various domain knowledge related features at a high time cost. Moreover, traditional fusion method cannot fully utilise correlation information between different channels and frequency components. In this paper, we design a hybrid deep learning model, in which the 'Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)' is utilised for extracting task-related features, as well as mining inter-channel and inter-frequency correlation, besides, the 'Recurrent Neural Network (RNN)' is concatenated for integrating contextual information from the frame cube sequence. Experiments are carried out in a trial-level emotion recognition task, on the DEAP benchmarking dataset. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed framework outperforms the classical methods, with regard to both of the emotional dimensions of Valence and Arousal
