Box-level Segmentation Supervised Deep Neural Networks for Accurate and Real-time Multispectral Pedestrian Detection
Effective fusion of complementary information captured by multi-modal sensors
(visible and infrared cameras) enables robust pedestrian detection under
various surveillance situations (e.g. daytime and nighttime). In this paper, we
present a novel box-level segmentation supervised learning framework for
accurate and real-time multispectral pedestrian detection by incorporating
features extracted in visible and infrared channels. Specifically, our method
takes pairs of aligned visible and infrared images with easily obtained
bounding box annotations as input and estimates accurate prediction maps to
highlight the existence of pedestrians. It offers two major advantages over the
existing anchor box based multispectral detection methods. Firstly, it
overcomes the hyperparameter setting problem occurred during the training phase
of anchor box based detectors and can obtain more accurate detection results,
especially for small and occluded pedestrian instances. Secondly, it is capable
of generating accurate detection results using small-size input images, leading
to improvement of computational efficiency for real-time autonomous driving
applications. Experimental results on KAIST multispectral dataset show that our
proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art approaches in terms of both
accuracy and speed
Session-based Recommendation with Graph Neural Networks
The problem of session-based recommendation aims to predict user actions
based on anonymous sessions. Previous methods model a session as a sequence and
estimate user representations besides item representations to make
recommendations. Though achieved promising results, they are insufficient to
obtain accurate user vectors in sessions and neglect complex transitions of
items. To obtain accurate item embedding and take complex transitions of items
into account, we propose a novel method, i.e. Session-based Recommendation with
Graph Neural Networks, SR-GNN for brevity. In the proposed method, session
sequences are modeled as graph-structured data. Based on the session graph, GNN
can capture complex transitions of items, which are difficult to be revealed by
previous conventional sequential methods. Each session is then represented as
the composition of the global preference and the current interest of that
session using an attention network. Extensive experiments conducted on two real
datasets show that SR-GNN evidently outperforms the state-of-the-art
session-based recommendation methods consistently.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures, accepted by AAAI Conference on Artificial
