A framework of face recognition with set of testing images
We propose a novel framework to solve the face recognition problem base on set of testing images. Our framework can handle the case that no pose overlap between training set and query set. The main techniques used in this framework are manifold alignment, face normalization and discriminant learning. Experiments on different databases show our system outperforms some state of the art methods
Optimal Transport for Domain Adaptation
Domain adaptation from one data space (or domain) to another is one of the
most challenging tasks of modern data analytics. If the adaptation is done
correctly, models built on a specific data space become more robust when
confronted to data depicting the same semantic concepts (the classes), but
observed by another observation system with its own specificities. Among the
many strategies proposed to adapt a domain to another, finding a common
representation has shown excellent properties: by finding a common
representation for both domains, a single classifier can be effective in both
and use labelled samples from the source domain to predict the unlabelled
samples of the target domain. In this paper, we propose a regularized
unsupervised optimal transportation model to perform the alignment of the
representations in the source and target domains. We learn a transportation
plan matching both PDFs, which constrains labelled samples in the source domain
to remain close during transport. This way, we exploit at the same time the few
labeled information in the source and the unlabelled distributions observed in
both domains. Experiments in toy and challenging real visual adaptation
examples show the interest of the method, that consistently outperforms state
of the art approaches
Subspace Alignment Based Domain Adaptation for RCNN Detector
In this paper, we propose subspace alignment based domain adaptation of the
state of the art RCNN based object detector. The aim is to be able to achieve
high quality object detection in novel, real world target scenarios without
requiring labels from the target domain. While, unsupervised domain adaptation
has been studied in the case of object classification, for object detection it
has been relatively unexplored. In subspace based domain adaptation for
objects, we need access to source and target subspaces for the bounding box
features. The absence of supervision (labels and bounding boxes are absent)
makes the task challenging. In this paper, we show that we can still adapt sub-
spaces that are localized to the object by obtaining detections from the RCNN
detector trained on source and applied on target. Then we form localized
subspaces from the detections and show that subspace alignment based adaptation
between these subspaces yields improved object detection. This evaluation is
done by considering challenging real world datasets of PASCAL VOC as source and
validation set of Microsoft COCO dataset as target for various categories.Comment: 26th British Machine Vision Conference, Swansea, U
Joint Geometrical and Statistical Alignment for Visual Domain Adaptation
This paper presents a novel unsupervised domain adaptation method for
cross-domain visual recognition. We propose a unified framework that reduces
the shift between domains both statistically and geometrically, referred to as
Joint Geometrical and Statistical Alignment (JGSA). Specifically, we learn two
coupled projections that project the source domain and target domain data into
low dimensional subspaces where the geometrical shift and distribution shift
are reduced simultaneously. The objective function can be solved efficiently in
a closed form. Extensive experiments have verified that the proposed method
significantly outperforms several state-of-the-art domain adaptation methods on
a synthetic dataset and three different real world cross-domain visual
recognition tasks
