LEARNet Dynamic Imaging Network for Micro Expression Recognition
Unlike prevalent facial expressions, micro expressions have subtle,
involuntary muscle movements which are short-lived in nature. These minute
muscle movements reflect true emotions of a person. Due to the short duration
and low intensity, these micro-expressions are very difficult to perceive and
interpret correctly. In this paper, we propose the dynamic representation of
micro-expressions to preserve facial movement information of a video in a
single frame. We also propose a Lateral Accretive Hybrid Network (LEARNet) to
capture micro-level features of an expression in the facial region. The LEARNet
refines the salient expression features in accretive manner by incorporating
accretion layers (AL) in the network. The response of the AL holds the hybrid
feature maps generated by prior laterally connected convolution layers.
Moreover, LEARNet architecture incorporates the cross decoupled relationship
between convolution layers which helps in preserving the tiny but influential
facial muscle change information. The visual responses of the proposed LEARNet
depict the effectiveness of the system by preserving both high- and micro-level
edge features of facial expression. The effectiveness of the proposed LEARNet
is evaluated on four benchmark datasets: CASME-I, CASME-II, CAS(ME)^2 and SMIC.
The experimental results after investigation show a significant improvement of
4.03%, 1.90%, 1.79% and 2.82% as compared with ResNet on CASME-I, CASME-II,
CAS(ME)^2 and SMIC datasets respectively.Comment: Dynamic imaging, accretion, lateral, micro expression recognitio
Tensor Networks for Dimensionality Reduction and Large-Scale Optimizations. Part 2 Applications and Future Perspectives
Part 2 of this monograph builds on the introduction to tensor networks and
their operations presented in Part 1. It focuses on tensor network models for
super-compressed higher-order representation of data/parameters and related
cost functions, while providing an outline of their applications in machine
learning and data analytics. A particular emphasis is on the tensor train (TT)
and Hierarchical Tucker (HT) decompositions, and their physically meaningful
interpretations which reflect the scalability of the tensor network approach.
Through a graphical approach, we also elucidate how, by virtue of the
underlying low-rank tensor approximations and sophisticated contractions of
core tensors, tensor networks have the ability to perform distributed
computations on otherwise prohibitively large volumes of data/parameters,
thereby alleviating or even eliminating the curse of dimensionality. The
usefulness of this concept is illustrated over a number of applied areas,
including generalized regression and classification (support tensor machines,
canonical correlation analysis, higher order partial least squares),
generalized eigenvalue decomposition, Riemannian optimization, and in the
optimization of deep neural networks. Part 1 and Part 2 of this work can be
used either as stand-alone separate texts, or indeed as a conjoint
comprehensive review of the exciting field of low-rank tensor networks and
tensor decompositions.Comment: 232 page
