Deep learning for time series classification: a review
Time Series Classification (TSC) is an important and challenging problem in
data mining. With the increase of time series data availability, hundreds of
TSC algorithms have been proposed. Among these methods, only a few have
considered Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) to perform this task. This is surprising
as deep learning has seen very successful applications in the last years. DNNs
have indeed revolutionized the field of computer vision especially with the
advent of novel deeper architectures such as Residual and Convolutional Neural
Networks. Apart from images, sequential data such as text and audio can also be
processed with DNNs to reach state-of-the-art performance for document
classification and speech recognition. In this article, we study the current
state-of-the-art performance of deep learning algorithms for TSC by presenting
an empirical study of the most recent DNN architectures for TSC. We give an
overview of the most successful deep learning applications in various time
series domains under a unified taxonomy of DNNs for TSC. We also provide an
open source deep learning framework to the TSC community where we implemented
each of the compared approaches and evaluated them on a univariate TSC
benchmark (the UCR/UEA archive) and 12 multivariate time series datasets. By
training 8,730 deep learning models on 97 time series datasets, we propose the
most exhaustive study of DNNs for TSC to date.Comment: Accepted at Data Mining and Knowledge Discover
Generating Visual Representations for Zero-Shot Classification
This paper addresses the task of learning an image clas-sifier when some
categories are defined by semantic descriptions only (e.g. visual attributes)
while the others are defined by exemplar images as well. This task is often
referred to as the Zero-Shot classification task (ZSC). Most of the previous
methods rely on learning a common embedding space allowing to compare visual
features of unknown categories with semantic descriptions. This paper argues
that these approaches are limited as i) efficient discrimi-native classifiers
can't be used ii) classification tasks with seen and unseen categories
(Generalized Zero-Shot Classification or GZSC) can't be addressed efficiently.
In contrast , this paper suggests to address ZSC and GZSC by i) learning a
conditional generator using seen classes ii) generate artificial training
examples for the categories without exemplars. ZSC is then turned into a
standard supervised learning problem. Experiments with 4 generative models and
5 datasets experimentally validate the approach, giving state-of-the-art
results on both ZSC and GZSC
Recent Advances in Transfer Learning for Cross-Dataset Visual Recognition: A Problem-Oriented Perspective
This paper takes a problem-oriented perspective and presents a comprehensive
review of transfer learning methods, both shallow and deep, for cross-dataset
visual recognition. Specifically, it categorises the cross-dataset recognition
into seventeen problems based on a set of carefully chosen data and label
attributes. Such a problem-oriented taxonomy has allowed us to examine how
different transfer learning approaches tackle each problem and how well each
problem has been researched to date. The comprehensive problem-oriented review
of the advances in transfer learning with respect to the problem has not only
revealed the challenges in transfer learning for visual recognition, but also
the problems (e.g. eight of the seventeen problems) that have been scarcely
studied. This survey not only presents an up-to-date technical review for
researchers, but also a systematic approach and a reference for a machine
learning practitioner to categorise a real problem and to look up for a
possible solution accordingly
Explainable Anatomical Shape Analysis through Deep Hierarchical Generative Models
Quantification of anatomical shape changes currently relies on scalar global indexes which are largely insensitive to regional or asymmetric modifications. Accurate assessment of pathology-driven anatomical remodeling is a crucial step for the diagnosis and treatment of many conditions. Deep learning approaches have recently achieved wide success in the analysis of medical images, but they lack interpretability in the feature extraction and decision processes. In this work, we propose a new interpretable deep learning model for shape analysis. In particular, we exploit deep generative networks to model a population of anatomical segmentations through a hierarchy of conditional latent variables. At the highest level of this hierarchy, a two-dimensional latent space is simultaneously optimised to discriminate distinct clinical conditions, enabling the direct visualisation of the classification space. Moreover, the anatomical variability encoded by this discriminative latent space can be visualised in the segmentation space thanks to the generative properties of the model, making the classification task transparent. This approach yielded high accuracy in the categorisation of healthy and remodelled left ventricles when tested on unseen segmentations from our own multi-centre dataset as well as in an external validation set, and on hippocampi from healthy controls and patients with Alzheimer's disease when tested on ADNI data. More importantly, it enabled the visualisation in three-dimensions of both global and regional anatomical features which better discriminate between the conditions under exam. The proposed approach scales effectively to large populations, facilitating high-throughput analysis of normal anatomy and pathology in large-scale studies of volumetric imaging
Pedestrian Attribute Recognition: A Survey
Recognizing pedestrian attributes is an important task in computer vision
community due to it plays an important role in video surveillance. Many
algorithms has been proposed to handle this task. The goal of this paper is to
review existing works using traditional methods or based on deep learning
networks. Firstly, we introduce the background of pedestrian attributes
recognition (PAR, for short), including the fundamental concepts of pedestrian
attributes and corresponding challenges. Secondly, we introduce existing
benchmarks, including popular datasets and evaluation criterion. Thirdly, we
analyse the concept of multi-task learning and multi-label learning, and also
explain the relations between these two learning algorithms and pedestrian
attribute recognition. We also review some popular network architectures which
have widely applied in the deep learning community. Fourthly, we analyse
popular solutions for this task, such as attributes group, part-based,
\emph{etc}. Fifthly, we shown some applications which takes pedestrian
attributes into consideration and achieve better performance. Finally, we
summarized this paper and give several possible research directions for
pedestrian attributes recognition. The project page of this paper can be found
