Multi-Scale Attention with Dense Encoder for Handwritten Mathematical Expression Recognition
Handwritten mathematical expression recognition is a challenging problem due
to the complicated two-dimensional structures, ambiguous handwriting input and
variant scales of handwritten math symbols. To settle this problem, we utilize
the attention based encoder-decoder model that recognizes mathematical
expression images from two-dimensional layouts to one-dimensional LaTeX
strings. We improve the encoder by employing densely connected convolutional
networks as they can strengthen feature extraction and facilitate gradient
propagation especially on a small training set. We also present a novel
multi-scale attention model which is employed to deal with the recognition of
math symbols in different scales and save the fine-grained details that will be
dropped by pooling operations. Validated on the CROHME competition task, the
proposed method significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art methods with an
expression recognition accuracy of 52.8% on CROHME 2014 and 50.1% on CROHME
2016, by only using the official training dataset
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
