Stratified Transfer Learning for Cross-domain Activity Recognition
In activity recognition, it is often expensive and time-consuming to acquire
sufficient activity labels. To solve this problem, transfer learning leverages
the labeled samples from the source domain to annotate the target domain which
has few or none labels. Existing approaches typically consider learning a
global domain shift while ignoring the intra-affinity between classes, which
will hinder the performance of the algorithms. In this paper, we propose a
novel and general cross-domain learning framework that can exploit the
intra-affinity of classes to perform intra-class knowledge transfer. The
proposed framework, referred to as Stratified Transfer Learning (STL), can
dramatically improve the classification accuracy for cross-domain activity
recognition. Specifically, STL first obtains pseudo labels for the target
domain via majority voting technique. Then, it performs intra-class knowledge
transfer iteratively to transform both domains into the same subspaces.
Finally, the labels of target domain are obtained via the second annotation. To
evaluate the performance of STL, we conduct comprehensive experiments on three
large public activity recognition datasets~(i.e. OPPORTUNITY, PAMAP2, and UCI
DSADS), which demonstrates that STL significantly outperforms other
state-of-the-art methods w.r.t. classification accuracy (improvement of 7.68%).
Furthermore, we extensively investigate the performance of STL across different
degrees of similarities and activity levels between domains. And we also
discuss the potential of STL in other pervasive computing applications to
provide empirical experience for future research.Comment: 10 pages; accepted by IEEE PerCom 2018; full paper. (camera-ready

Recent Advances in Transfer Learning for Cross-Dataset Visual Recognition: A Problem-Oriented Perspective
This paper takes a problem-oriented perspective and presents a comprehensive
review of transfer learning methods, both shallow and deep, for cross-dataset
visual recognition. Specifically, it categorises the cross-dataset recognition
into seventeen problems based on a set of carefully chosen data and label
attributes. Such a problem-oriented taxonomy has allowed us to examine how
different transfer learning approaches tackle each problem and how well each
problem has been researched to date. The comprehensive problem-oriented review
of the advances in transfer learning with respect to the problem has not only
revealed the challenges in transfer learning for visual recognition, but also
the problems (e.g. eight of the seventeen problems) that have been scarcely
studied. This survey not only presents an up-to-date technical review for
researchers, but also a systematic approach and a reference for a machine
learning practitioner to categorise a real problem and to look up for a
possible solution accordingly
Graph Distillation for Action Detection with Privileged Modalities
We propose a technique that tackles action detection in multimodal videos
under a realistic and challenging condition in which only limited training data
and partially observed modalities are available. Common methods in transfer
learning do not take advantage of the extra modalities potentially available in
the source domain. On the other hand, previous work on multimodal learning only
focuses on a single domain or task and does not handle the modality discrepancy
between training and testing. In this work, we propose a method termed graph
distillation that incorporates rich privileged information from a large-scale
multimodal dataset in the source domain, and improves the learning in the
target domain where training data and modalities are scarce. We evaluate our
approach on action classification and detection tasks in multimodal videos, and
show that our model outperforms the state-of-the-art by a large margin on the
NTU RGB+D and PKU-MMD benchmarks. The code is released at

EEG-Based Emotion Recognition Using Regularized Graph Neural Networks
Electroencephalography (EEG) measures the neuronal activities in different
brain regions via electrodes. Many existing studies on EEG-based emotion
recognition do not fully exploit the topology of EEG channels. In this paper,
we propose a regularized graph neural network (RGNN) for EEG-based emotion
recognition. RGNN considers the biological topology among different brain
regions to capture both local and global relations among different EEG
channels. Specifically, we model the inter-channel relations in EEG signals via
an adjacency matrix in a graph neural network where the connection and
sparseness of the adjacency matrix are inspired by neuroscience theories of
human brain organization. In addition, we propose two regularizers, namely
node-wise domain adversarial training (NodeDAT) and emotion-aware distribution
learning (EmotionDL), to better handle cross-subject EEG variations and noisy
labels, respectively. Extensive experiments on two public datasets, SEED and
SEED-IV, demonstrate the superior performance of our model than
state-of-the-art models in most experimental settings. Moreover, ablation
studies show that the proposed adjacency matrix and two regularizers contribute
consistent and significant gain to the performance of our RGNN model. Finally,
investigations on the neuronal activities reveal important brain regions and
inter-channel relations for EEG-based emotion recognition
ECG Arrhythmia Classification Using Transfer Learning from 2-Dimensional Deep CNN Features
Due to the recent advances in the area of deep learning, it has been
demonstrated that a deep neural network, trained on a huge amount of data, can
recognize cardiac arrhythmias better than cardiologists. Moreover,
traditionally feature extraction was considered an integral part of ECG pattern
recognition; however, recent findings have shown that deep neural networks can
carry out the task of feature extraction directly from the data itself. In
order to use deep neural networks for their accuracy and feature extraction,
high volume of training data is required, which in the case of independent
studies is not pragmatic. To arise to this challenge, in this work, the
identification and classification of four ECG patterns are studied from a
transfer learning perspective, transferring knowledge learned from the image
classification domain to the ECG signal classification domain. It is
demonstrated that feature maps learned in a deep neural network trained on
great amounts of generic input images can be used as general descriptors for
the ECG signal spectrograms and result in features that enable classification
of arrhythmias. Overall, an accuracy of 97.23 percent is achieved in
classifying near 7000 instances by ten-fold cross validation.Comment: Accepted and presented for IEEE Biomedical Circuits and Systems
