Low-shot learning with large-scale diffusion
This paper considers the problem of inferring image labels from images when
only a few annotated examples are available at training time. This setup is
often referred to as low-shot learning, where a standard approach is to
re-train the last few layers of a convolutional neural network learned on
separate classes for which training examples are abundant. We consider a
semi-supervised setting based on a large collection of images to support label
propagation. This is possible by leveraging the recent advances on large-scale
similarity graph construction.
We show that despite its conceptual simplicity, scaling label propagation up
to hundred millions of images leads to state of the art accuracy in the
low-shot learning regime
Simulated evaluation of faceted browsing based on feature selection
In this paper we explore the limitations of facet based browsing which uses sub-needs of an information need for querying and organising the search process in video retrieval. The underlying assumption of this approach is that the search effectiveness will be enhanced if such an approach is employed for interactive video retrieval using textual and visual features. We explore the performance bounds of a faceted system by carrying out a simulated user evaluation on TRECVid data sets, and also on the logs of a prior user experiment with the system. We first present a methodology to reduce the dimensionality of features by selecting the most important ones. Then, we discuss the simulated evaluation strategies employed in our evaluation and the effect on the use of both textual and visual features. Facets created by users are simulated by clustering video shots using textual and visual features. The experimental results of our study demonstrate that the faceted browser can potentially improve the search effectiveness
