Learning Deep Representations of Appearance and Motion for Anomalous Event Detection
We present a novel unsupervised deep learning framework for anomalous event
detection in complex video scenes. While most existing works merely use
hand-crafted appearance and motion features, we propose Appearance and Motion
DeepNet (AMDN) which utilizes deep neural networks to automatically learn
feature representations. To exploit the complementary information of both
appearance and motion patterns, we introduce a novel double fusion framework,
combining both the benefits of traditional early fusion and late fusion
strategies. Specifically, stacked denoising autoencoders are proposed to
separately learn both appearance and motion features as well as a joint
representation (early fusion). Based on the learned representations, multiple
one-class SVM models are used to predict the anomaly scores of each input,
which are then integrated with a late fusion strategy for final anomaly
detection. We evaluate the proposed method on two publicly available video
surveillance datasets, showing competitive performance with respect to state of
the art approaches.Comment: Oral paper in BMVC 201
Unsupervised learning of relation detection patterns
L'extracció d'informació és l'àrea del processament de llenguatge natural l'objectiu de la qual és l'obtenir dades
estructurades a partir de la informació rellevant continguda en fragments textuals.
L'extracció d'informació requereix una quantitat considerable de coneixement lingüístic. La especificitat d'aquest
coneixement suposa un inconvenient de cara a la portabilitat dels sistemes, ja que un canvi d'idioma, domini o estil té un
cost en termes d'esforç humà. Durant dècades, s'han aplicat tècniques d'aprenentatge automàtic per tal de superar aquest
coll d'ampolla de portabilitat, reduint progressivament la supervisió humana involucrada. Tanmateix, a mida que augmenta
la disponibilitat de grans col·leccions de documents, esdevenen necessàries aproximacions completament nosupervisades
per tal d'explotar el coneixement que hi ha en elles.
La proposta d'aquesta tesi és la d'incorporar tècniques de clustering a l'adquisició de patrons per a extracció d'informació,
per tal de reduir encara més els elements de supervisió involucrats en el procés En particular, el treball se centra en el
problema de la detecció de relacions. L'assoliment d'aquest objectiu final ha requerit, en primer lloc, el considerar les
diferents estratègies en què aquesta combinació es podia dur a terme; en segon lloc, el desenvolupar o adaptar algorismes
de clustering adequats a les nostres necessitats; i en tercer lloc, el disseny de procediments d'adquisició de patrons que
incorporessin la informació de clustering.
Al final d'aquesta tesi, havíem estat capaços de desenvolupar i implementar una aproximació per a l'aprenentatge de
patrons per a detecció de relacions que, utilitzant tècniques de clustering i un mínim de supervisió humana, és competitiu i
fins i tot supera altres aproximacions comparables en l'estat de l'art.Information extraction is the natural language processing area whose goal is to obtain structured data from the relevant
information contained in textual fragments.
Information extraction requires a significant amount of linguistic knowledge. The specificity of such knowledge supposes a
drawback on the portability of the systems, as a change of language, domain or style demands a costly human effort.
Machine learning techniques have been applied for decades so as to overcome this portability bottleneck¿progressively
reducing the amount of involved human supervision. However, as the availability of large document collections increases,
completely unsupervised approaches become necessary in order to mine the knowledge contained in them.
The proposal of this thesis is to incorporate clustering techniques into pattern learning for information extraction, in order to
further reduce the elements of supervision involved in the process. In particular, the work focuses on the problem of relation
detection. The achievement of this ultimate goal has required, first, considering the different strategies in which this
combination could be carried out; second, developing or adapting clustering algorithms suitable to our needs; and third,
devising pattern learning procedures which incorporated clustering information.
By the end of this thesis, we had been able to develop and implement an approach for learning of relation detection patterns
which, using clustering techniques and minimal human supervision, is competitive and even outperforms other comparable
approaches in the state of the art.Postprint (published version
Deep learning in remote sensing: a review
Standing at the paradigm shift towards data-intensive science, machine
learning techniques are becoming increasingly important. In particular, as a
major breakthrough in the field, deep learning has proven as an extremely
powerful tool in many fields. Shall we embrace deep learning as the key to all?
Or, should we resist a 'black-box' solution? There are controversial opinions
in the remote sensing community. In this article, we analyze the challenges of
using deep learning for remote sensing data analysis, review the recent
advances, and provide resources to make deep learning in remote sensing
ridiculously simple to start with. More importantly, we advocate remote sensing
scientists to bring their expertise into deep learning, and use it as an
implicit general model to tackle unprecedented large-scale influential
challenges, such as climate change and urbanization.Comment: Accepted for publication IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Magazin
Data-Driven Shape Analysis and Processing
Data-driven methods play an increasingly important role in discovering
geometric, structural, and semantic relationships between 3D shapes in
collections, and applying this analysis to support intelligent modeling,
editing, and visualization of geometric data. In contrast to traditional
approaches, a key feature of data-driven approaches is that they aggregate
information from a collection of shapes to improve the analysis and processing
of individual shapes. In addition, they are able to learn models that reason
about properties and relationships of shapes without relying on hard-coded
rules or explicitly programmed instructions. We provide an overview of the main
concepts and components of these techniques, and discuss their application to
shape classification, segmentation, matching, reconstruction, modeling and
exploration, as well as scene analysis and synthesis, through reviewing the
literature and relating the existing works with both qualitative and numerical
comparisons. We conclude our report with ideas that can inspire future research
in data-driven shape analysis and processing.Comment: 10 pages, 19 figure
