Pemanfaatan teknologi komunikasi dan informasi di perpustakaan
This article discusses the rapid development of information technology, demands librarians and librarians to struggle and work harder in developing knowledge, skills and expertise in the fields of libraries, documentation and information, as well as information technology. Information and Communication Technology is a large umbrella terminology that includes all technical equipment for processing and conveying information. keywords: communication technology, information technolog

Generalized Max Pooling
State-of-the-art patch-based image representations involve a pooling
operation that aggregates statistics computed from local descriptors. Standard
pooling operations include sum- and max-pooling. Sum-pooling lacks
discriminability because the resulting representation is strongly influenced by
frequent yet often uninformative descriptors, but only weakly influenced by
rare yet potentially highly-informative ones. Max-pooling equalizes the
influence of frequent and rare descriptors but is only applicable to
representations that rely on count statistics, such as the bag-of-visual-words
(BOV) and its soft- and sparse-coding extensions. We propose a novel pooling
mechanism that achieves the same effect as max-pooling but is applicable beyond
the BOV and especially to the state-of-the-art Fisher Vector -- hence the name
Generalized Max Pooling (GMP). It involves equalizing the similarity between
each patch and the pooled representation, which is shown to be equivalent to
re-weighting the per-patch statistics. We show on five public image
classification benchmarks that the proposed GMP can lead to significant
performance gains with respect to heuristic alternatives.Comment: (to appear) CVPR 2014 - IEEE Conference on Computer Vision & Pattern
