Efficient Version-Space Reduction for Visual Tracking
Discrminative trackers, employ a classification approach to separate the
target from its background. To cope with variations of the target shape and
appearance, the classifier is updated online with different samples of the
target and the background. Sample selection, labeling and updating the
classifier is prone to various sources of errors that drift the tracker. We
introduce the use of an efficient version space shrinking strategy to reduce
the labeling errors and enhance its sampling strategy by measuring the
uncertainty of the tracker about the samples. The proposed tracker, utilize an
ensemble of classifiers that represents different hypotheses about the target,
diversify them using boosting to provide a larger and more consistent coverage
of the version-space and tune the classifiers' weights in voting. The proposed
system adjusts the model update rate by promoting the co-training of the
short-memory ensemble with a long-memory oracle. The proposed tracker
outperformed state-of-the-art trackers on different sequences bearing various
tracking challenges.Comment: CRV'17 Conferenc
Intelligent Management and Efficient Operation of Big Data
This chapter details how Big Data can be used and implemented in networking
and computing infrastructures. Specifically, it addresses three main aspects:
the timely extraction of relevant knowledge from heterogeneous, and very often
unstructured large data sources, the enhancement on the performance of
processing and networking (cloud) infrastructures that are the most important
foundational pillars of Big Data applications or services, and novel ways to
efficiently manage network infrastructures with high-level composed policies
for supporting the transmission of large amounts of data with distinct
requisites (video vs. non-video). A case study involving an intelligent
management solution to route data traffic with diverse requirements in a wide
area Internet Exchange Point is presented, discussed in the context of Big
Data, and evaluated.Comment: In book Handbook of Research on Trends and Future Directions in Big

Doc2EDAG: An End-to-End Document-level Framework for Chinese Financial Event Extraction
Most existing event extraction (EE) methods merely extract event arguments
within the sentence scope. However, such sentence-level EE methods struggle to
handle soaring amounts of documents from emerging applications, such as
finance, legislation, health, etc., where event arguments always scatter across
different sentences, and even multiple such event mentions frequently co-exist
in the same document. To address these challenges, we propose a novel
end-to-end model, Doc2EDAG, which can generate an entity-based directed acyclic
graph to fulfill the document-level EE (DEE) effectively. Moreover, we
reformalize a DEE task with the no-trigger-words design to ease the
document-level event labeling. To demonstrate the effectiveness of Doc2EDAG, we
build a large-scale real-world dataset consisting of Chinese financial
announcements with the challenges mentioned above. Extensive experiments with
comprehensive analyses illustrate the superiority of Doc2EDAG over
state-of-the-art methods. Data and codes can be found at
