Building Deep Networks on Grassmann Manifolds
Learning representations on Grassmann manifolds is popular in quite a few
visual recognition tasks. In order to enable deep learning on Grassmann
manifolds, this paper proposes a deep network architecture by generalizing the
Euclidean network paradigm to Grassmann manifolds. In particular, we design
full rank mapping layers to transform input Grassmannian data to more desirable
ones, exploit re-orthonormalization layers to normalize the resulting matrices,
study projection pooling layers to reduce the model complexity in the
Grassmannian context, and devise projection mapping layers to respect
Grassmannian geometry and meanwhile achieve Euclidean forms for regular output
layers. To train the Grassmann networks, we exploit a stochastic gradient
descent setting on manifolds of the connection weights, and study a matrix
generalization of backpropagation to update the structured data. The
evaluations on three visual recognition tasks show that our Grassmann networks
have clear advantages over existing Grassmann learning methods, and achieve
results comparable with state-of-the-art approaches.Comment: AAAI'18 pape
Speech Processing in Computer Vision Applications
Deep learning has been recently proven to be a viable asset in determining features in the field of Speech Analysis. Deep learning methods like Convolutional Neural Networks facilitate the expansion of specific feature information in waveforms, allowing networks to create more feature dense representations of data. Our work attempts to address the problem of re-creating a face given a speaker\u27s voice and speaker identification using deep learning methods. In this work, we first review the fundamental background in speech processing and its related applications. Then we introduce novel deep learning-based methods to speech feature analysis. Finally, we will present our deep learning approaches to speaker identification and speech to face synthesis. The presented method can convert a speaker audio sample to an image of their predicted face. This framework is composed of several chained together networks, each with an essential step in the conversion process. These include Audio embedding, encoding, and face generation networks, respectively. Our experiments show that certain features can map to the face and that with a speaker\u27s voice, DNNs can create their face and that a GUI could be used in conjunction to display a speaker recognition network\u27s data
