Discriminatively Trained Latent Ordinal Model for Video Classification
We study the problem of video classification for facial analysis and human
action recognition. We propose a novel weakly supervised learning method that
models the video as a sequence of automatically mined, discriminative
sub-events (eg. onset and offset phase for "smile", running and jumping for
"highjump"). The proposed model is inspired by the recent works on Multiple
Instance Learning and latent SVM/HCRF -- it extends such frameworks to model
the ordinal aspect in the videos, approximately. We obtain consistent
improvements over relevant competitive baselines on four challenging and
publicly available video based facial analysis datasets for prediction of
expression, clinical pain and intent in dyadic conversations and on three
challenging human action datasets. We also validate the method with qualitative
results and show that they largely support the intuitions behind the method.Comment: Paper accepted in IEEE TPAMI. arXiv admin note: substantial text

LOMo: Latent Ordinal Model for Facial Analysis in Videos
We study the problem of facial analysis in videos. We propose a novel weakly
supervised learning method that models the video event (expression, pain etc.)
as a sequence of automatically mined, discriminative sub-events (eg. onset and
offset phase for smile, brow lower and cheek raise for pain). The proposed
model is inspired by the recent works on Multiple Instance Learning and latent
SVM/HCRF- it extends such frameworks to model the ordinal or temporal aspect in
the videos, approximately. We obtain consistent improvements over relevant
competitive baselines on four challenging and publicly available video based
facial analysis datasets for prediction of expression, clinical pain and intent
in dyadic conversations. In combination with complimentary features, we report
state-of-the-art results on these datasets.Comment: 2016 IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition

EmoNets: Multimodal deep learning approaches for emotion recognition in video
The task of the emotion recognition in the wild (EmotiW) Challenge is to
assign one of seven emotions to short video clips extracted from Hollywood
style movies. The videos depict acted-out emotions under realistic conditions
with a large degree of variation in attributes such as pose and illumination,
making it worthwhile to explore approaches which consider combinations of
features from multiple modalities for label assignment. In this paper we
present our approach to learning several specialist models using deep learning
techniques, each focusing on one modality. Among these are a convolutional
neural network, focusing on capturing visual information in detected faces, a
deep belief net focusing on the representation of the audio stream, a K-Means
based "bag-of-mouths" model, which extracts visual features around the mouth
region and a relational autoencoder, which addresses spatio-temporal aspects of
videos. We explore multiple methods for the combination of cues from these
modalities into one common classifier. This achieves a considerably greater
accuracy than predictions from our strongest single-modality classifier. Our
method was the winning submission in the 2013 EmotiW challenge and achieved a
test set accuracy of 47.67% on the 2014 dataset
Single-trial analysis of EEG during rapid visual discrimination: enabling cortically-coupled computer vision
We describe our work using linear discrimination of multi-channel electroencephalography
for single-trial detection of neural signatures of visual recognition events. We demonstrate
the approach as a methodology for relating neural variability to response variability, describing
studies for response accuracy and response latency during visual target detection.
We then show how the approach can be utilized to construct a novel type of brain-computer
interface, which we term cortically-coupled computer vision. In this application, a large
database of images is triaged using the detected neural signatures. We show how ‘corticaltriaging’
improves image search over a strictly behavioral response
