Inverse Projection Representation and Category Contribution Rate for Robust Tumor Recognition
Sparse representation based classification (SRC) methods have achieved
remarkable results. SRC, however, still suffer from requiring enough training
samples, insufficient use of test samples and instability of representation. In
this paper, a stable inverse projection representation based classification
(IPRC) is presented to tackle these problems by effectively using test samples.
An IPR is firstly proposed and its feasibility and stability are analyzed. A
classification criterion named category contribution rate is constructed to
match the IPR and complete classification. Moreover, a statistical measure is
introduced to quantify the stability of representation-based classification
methods. Based on the IPRC technique, a robust tumor recognition framework is
presented by interpreting microarray gene expression data, where a two-stage
hybrid gene selection method is introduced to select informative genes.
Finally, the functional analysis of candidate's pathogenicity-related genes is
given. Extensive experiments on six public tumor microarray gene expression
datasets demonstrate the proposed technique is competitive with
state-of-the-art methods.Comment: 14 pages, 19 figures, 10 table
Disturbance Grassmann Kernels for Subspace-Based Learning
In this paper, we focus on subspace-based learning problems, where data
elements are linear subspaces instead of vectors. To handle this kind of data,
Grassmann kernels were proposed to measure the space structure and used with
classifiers, e.g., Support Vector Machines (SVMs). However, the existing
discriminative algorithms mostly ignore the instability of subspaces, which
would cause the classifiers misled by disturbed instances. Thus we propose
considering all potential disturbance of subspaces in learning processes to
obtain more robust classifiers. Firstly, we derive the dual optimization of
linear classifiers with disturbance subject to a known distribution, resulting
in a new kernel, Disturbance Grassmann (DG) kernel. Secondly, we research into
two kinds of disturbance, relevant to the subspace matrix and singular values
of bases, with which we extend the Projection kernel on Grassmann manifolds to
two new kernels. Experiments on action data indicate that the proposed kernels
perform better compared to state-of-the-art subspace-based methods, even in a
worse environment.Comment: This paper include 3 figures, 10 pages, and has been accpeted to

End-to-End Photo-Sketch Generation via Fully Convolutional Representation Learning
Sketch-based face recognition is an interesting task in vision and multimedia
research, yet it is quite challenging due to the great difference between face
photos and sketches. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for
photo-sketch generation, aiming to automatically transform face photos into
detail-preserving personal sketches. Unlike the traditional models synthesizing
sketches based on a dictionary of exemplars, we develop a fully convolutional
network to learn the end-to-end photo-sketch mapping. Our approach takes whole
face photos as inputs and directly generates the corresponding sketch images
with efficient inference and learning, in which the architecture are stacked by
only convolutional kernels of very small sizes. To well capture the person
identity during the photo-sketch transformation, we define our optimization
objective in the form of joint generative-discriminative minimization. In
particular, a discriminative regularization term is incorporated into the
photo-sketch generation, enhancing the discriminability of the generated person
sketches against other individuals. Extensive experiments on several standard
benchmarks suggest that our approach outperforms other state-of-the-art methods
in both photo-sketch generation and face sketch verification.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures. Proceeding in ACM International Conference on
