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
Learning Hypergraph-regularized Attribute Predictors
We present a novel attribute learning framework named Hypergraph-based
Attribute Predictor (HAP). In HAP, a hypergraph is leveraged to depict the
attribute relations in the data. Then the attribute prediction problem is
casted as a regularized hypergraph cut problem in which HAP jointly learns a
collection of attribute projections from the feature space to a hypergraph
embedding space aligned with the attribute space. The learned projections
directly act as attribute classifiers (linear and kernelized). This formulation
leads to a very efficient approach. By considering our model as a multi-graph
cut task, our framework can flexibly incorporate other available information,
in particular class label. We apply our approach to attribute prediction,
Zero-shot and -shot learning tasks. The results on AWA, USAA and CUB
databases demonstrate the value of our methods in comparison with the
state-of-the-art approaches.Comment: This is an attribute learning paper accepted by CVPR 201
Learning joint feature adaptation for zero-shot recognition
Zero-shot recognition (ZSR) aims to recognize target-domain data instances of unseen classes based on the models learned from associated pairs of seen-class source and target domain data. One of the key challenges in ZSR is the relative scarcity of source-domain features (e.g. one feature vector per class), which do not fully account for wide variability in target-domain instances. In this paper we propose a novel framework of learning data-dependent feature transforms for scoring similarity between an arbitrary pair of source and target data instances to account for the wide variability in target domain. Our proposed approach is based on optimizing over a parameterized family of local feature displacements that maximize the source-target adaptive similarity functions. Accordingly we propose formulating zero-shot learning (ZSL) using latent structural SVMs to learn our similarity functions from training data. As demonstration we design a specific algorithm under the proposed framework involving bilinear similarity functions and regularized least squares as penalties for feature displacement. We test our approach on several benchmark datasets for ZSR and show significant improvement over the state-of-the-art. For instance, on aP&Y dataset we can achieve 80.89% in terms of recognition accuracy, outperforming the state-of-the-art by 11.15%
Learning models for semantic classification of insufficient plantar pressure images
Establishing a reliable and stable model to predict a target by using insufficient labeled samples is feasible and
effective, particularly, for a sensor-generated data-set. This paper has been inspired with insufficient data-set
learning algorithms, such as metric-based, prototype networks and meta-learning, and therefore we propose
an insufficient data-set transfer model learning method. Firstly, two basic models for transfer learning are
introduced. A classification system and calculation criteria are then subsequently introduced. Secondly, a dataset
of plantar pressure for comfort shoe design is acquired and preprocessed through foot scan system; and by
using a pre-trained convolution neural network employing AlexNet and convolution neural network (CNN)-
based transfer modeling, the classification accuracy of the plantar pressure images is over 93.5%. Finally,
the proposed method has been compared to the current classifiers VGG, ResNet, AlexNet and pre-trained
CNN. Also, our work is compared with known-scaling and shifting (SS) and unknown-plain slot (PS) partition
methods on the public test databases: SUN, CUB, AWA1, AWA2, and aPY with indices of precision (tr, ts, H)
and time (training and evaluation). The proposed method for the plantar pressure classification task shows high
performance in most indices when comparing with other methods. The transfer learning-based method can be
applied to other insufficient data-sets of sensor imaging fields
Cycle-Consistent Deep Generative Hashing for Cross-Modal Retrieval
In this paper, we propose a novel deep generative approach to cross-modal
retrieval to learn hash functions in the absence of paired training samples
through the cycle consistency loss. Our proposed approach employs adversarial
training scheme to lean a couple of hash functions enabling translation between
modalities while assuming the underlying semantic relationship. To induce the
hash codes with semantics to the input-output pair, cycle consistency loss is
further proposed upon the adversarial training to strengthen the correlations
between inputs and corresponding outputs. Our approach is generative to learn
hash functions such that the learned hash codes can maximally correlate each
input-output correspondence, meanwhile can also regenerate the inputs so as to
minimize the information loss. The learning to hash embedding is thus performed
to jointly optimize the parameters of the hash functions across modalities as
well as the associated generative models. Extensive experiments on a variety of
large-scale cross-modal data sets demonstrate that our proposed method achieves
better retrieval results than the state-of-the-arts.Comment: To appeared on IEEE Trans. Image Processing. arXiv admin note: text
