Probabilistic Image Colorization
We develop a probabilistic technique for colorizing grayscale natural images.
In light of the intrinsic uncertainty of this task, the proposed probabilistic
framework has numerous desirable properties. In particular, our model is able
to produce multiple plausible and vivid colorizations for a given grayscale
image and is one of the first colorization models to provide a proper
stochastic sampling scheme. Moreover, our training procedure is supported by a
rigorous theoretical framework that does not require any ad hoc heuristics and
allows for efficient modeling and learning of the joint pixel color
distribution. We demonstrate strong quantitative and qualitative experimental
results on the CIFAR-10 dataset and the challenging ILSVRC 2012 dataset
Self-organized learning in multi-layer networks
We present a framework for the self-organized formation of high level learning by a statistical preprocessing of features. The paper focuses first on the formation of the features in the context of layers of feature processing units as a kind of resource-restricted associative multiresolution learning We clame that such an architecture must reach maturity by basic statistical proportions, optimizing the information processing capabilities of each layer. The final symbolic output is learned by pure association of features of different levels and kind of sensorial input. Finally, we also show that common error-correction learning for motor skills can be accomplished also by non-specific associative learning.
