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
Deep Perceptual Mapping for Thermal to Visible Face Recognition
Cross modal face matching between the thermal and visible spectrum is a much
de- sired capability for night-time surveillance and security applications. Due
to a very large modality gap, thermal-to-visible face recognition is one of the
most challenging face matching problem. In this paper, we present an approach
to bridge this modality gap by a significant margin. Our approach captures the
highly non-linear relationship be- tween the two modalities by using a deep
neural network. Our model attempts to learn a non-linear mapping from visible
to thermal spectrum while preserving the identity in- formation. We show
substantive performance improvement on a difficult thermal-visible face
dataset. The presented approach improves the state-of-the-art by more than 10%
in terms of Rank-1 identification and bridge the drop in performance due to the
modality gap by more than 40%.Comment: BMVC 2015 (oral
