Supervised cross-modal factor analysis for multiple modal data classification
In this paper we study the problem of learning from multiple modal data for
purpose of document classification. In this problem, each document is composed
two different modals of data, i.e., an image and a text. Cross-modal factor
analysis (CFA) has been proposed to project the two different modals of data to
a shared data space, so that the classification of a image or a text can be
performed directly in this space. A disadvantage of CFA is that it has ignored
the supervision information. In this paper, we improve CFA by incorporating the
supervision information to represent and classify both image and text modals of
documents. We project both image and text data to a shared data space by factor
analysis, and then train a class label predictor in the shared space to use the
class label information. The factor analysis parameter and the predictor
parameter are learned jointly by solving one single objective function. With
this objective function, we minimize the distance between the projections of
image and text of the same document, and the classification error of the
projection measured by hinge loss function. The objective function is optimized
by an alternate optimization strategy in an iterative algorithm. Experiments in
two different multiple modal document data sets show the advantage of the
proposed algorithm over other CFA methods
End-to-End Learning of Representations for Asynchronous Event-Based Data
Event cameras are vision sensors that record asynchronous streams of
per-pixel brightness changes, referred to as "events". They have appealing
advantages over frame-based cameras for computer vision, including high
temporal resolution, high dynamic range, and no motion blur. Due to the sparse,
non-uniform spatiotemporal layout of the event signal, pattern recognition
algorithms typically aggregate events into a grid-based representation and
subsequently process it by a standard vision pipeline, e.g., Convolutional
Neural Network (CNN). In this work, we introduce a general framework to convert
event streams into grid-based representations through a sequence of
differentiable operations. Our framework comes with two main advantages: (i)
allows learning the input event representation together with the task dedicated
network in an end to end manner, and (ii) lays out a taxonomy that unifies the
majority of extant event representations in the literature and identifies novel
ones. Empirically, we show that our approach to learning the event
representation end-to-end yields an improvement of approximately 12% on optical
flow estimation and object recognition over state-of-the-art methods.Comment: To appear at ICCV 201
