Pedestrian Attribute Recognition: A Survey
Recognizing pedestrian attributes is an important task in computer vision
community due to it plays an important role in video surveillance. Many
algorithms has been proposed to handle this task. The goal of this paper is to
review existing works using traditional methods or based on deep learning
networks. Firstly, we introduce the background of pedestrian attributes
recognition (PAR, for short), including the fundamental concepts of pedestrian
attributes and corresponding challenges. Secondly, we introduce existing
benchmarks, including popular datasets and evaluation criterion. Thirdly, we
analyse the concept of multi-task learning and multi-label learning, and also
explain the relations between these two learning algorithms and pedestrian
attribute recognition. We also review some popular network architectures which
have widely applied in the deep learning community. Fourthly, we analyse
popular solutions for this task, such as attributes group, part-based,
\emph{etc}. Fifthly, we shown some applications which takes pedestrian
attributes into consideration and achieve better performance. Finally, we
summarized this paper and give several possible research directions for
pedestrian attributes recognition. The project page of this paper can be found

Object-oriented Neural Programming (OONP) for Document Understanding
We propose Object-oriented Neural Programming (OONP), a framework for
semantically parsing documents in specific domains. Basically, OONP reads a
document and parses it into a predesigned object-oriented data structure
(referred to as ontology in this paper) that reflects the domain-specific
semantics of the document. An OONP parser models semantic parsing as a decision
process: a neural net-based Reader sequentially goes through the document, and
during the process it builds and updates an intermediate ontology to summarize
its partial understanding of the text it covers. OONP supports a rich family of
operations (both symbolic and differentiable) for composing the ontology, and a
big variety of forms (both symbolic and differentiable) for representing the
state and the document. An OONP parser can be trained with supervision of
different forms and strength, including supervised learning (SL) ,
reinforcement learning (RL) and hybrid of the two. Our experiments on both
synthetic and real-world document parsing tasks have shown that OONP can learn
to handle fairly complicated ontology with training data of modest sizes.Comment: accepted by ACL 201
