Enriched Long-term Recurrent Convolutional Network for Facial Micro-Expression Recognition
Facial micro-expression (ME) recognition has posed a huge challenge to
researchers for its subtlety in motion and limited databases. Recently,
handcrafted techniques have achieved superior performance in micro-expression
recognition but at the cost of domain specificity and cumbersome parametric
tunings. In this paper, we propose an Enriched Long-term Recurrent
Convolutional Network (ELRCN) that first encodes each micro-expression frame
into a feature vector through CNN module(s), then predicts the micro-expression
by passing the feature vector through a Long Short-term Memory (LSTM) module.
The framework contains two different network variants: (1) Channel-wise
stacking of input data for spatial enrichment, (2) Feature-wise stacking of
features for temporal enrichment. We demonstrate that the proposed approach is
able to achieve reasonably good performance, without data augmentation. In
addition, we also present ablation studies conducted on the framework and
visualizations of what CNN "sees" when predicting the micro-expression classes.Comment: Published in Micro-Expression Grand Challenge 2018, Workshop of 13th

Person Re-identification with Correspondence Structure Learning
This paper addresses the problem of handling spatial misalignments due to
camera-view changes or human-pose variations in person re-identification. We
first introduce a boosting-based approach to learn a correspondence structure
which indicates the patch-wise matching probabilities between images from a
target camera pair. The learned correspondence structure can not only capture
the spatial correspondence pattern between cameras but also handle the
viewpoint or human-pose variation in individual images. We further introduce a
global-based matching process. It integrates a global matching constraint over
the learned correspondence structure to exclude cross-view misalignments during
the image patch matching process, hence achieving a more reliable matching
score between images. Experimental results on various datasets demonstrate the
effectiveness of our approach
