1. The Hessian Penalty: A Weak Prior for Unsupervised Disentanglement [PDF] 返回目录
  William Peebles, John Peebles, Jun-Yan Zhu, Alexei Efros, Antonio Torralba
Abstract: Existing disentanglement methods for deep generative models rely on hand-picked priors and complex encoder-based architectures. In this paper, we propose the Hessian Penalty, a simple regularization term that encourages the Hessian of a generative model with respect to its input to be diagonal. We introduce a model-agnostic, unbiased stochastic approximation of this term based on Hutchinson's estimator to compute it efficiently during training. Our method can be applied to a wide range of deep generators with just a few lines of code. We show that training with the Hessian Penalty often causes axis-aligned disentanglement to emerge in latent space when applied to ProGAN on several datasets. Additionally, we use our regularization term to identify interpretable directions in BigGAN's latent space in an unsupervised fashion. Finally, we provide empirical evidence that the Hessian Penalty encourages substantial shrinkage when applied to over-parameterized latent spaces.

  Hsin-Ping Huang, Hung-Yu Tseng, Hsin-Ying Lee, Jia-Bin Huang
Abstract: We tackle a new problem of semantic view synthesis -- generating free-viewpoint rendering of a synthesized scene using a semantic label map as input. We build upon recent advances in semantic image synthesis and view synthesis for handling photographic image content generation and view extrapolation. Direct application of existing image/view synthesis methods, however, results in severe ghosting/blurry artifacts. To address the drawbacks, we propose a two-step approach. First, we focus on synthesizing the color and depth of the visible surface of the 3D scene. We then use the synthesized color and depth to impose explicit constraints on the multiple-plane image (MPI) representation prediction process. Our method produces sharp contents at the original view and geometrically consistent renderings across novel viewpoints. The experiments on numerous indoor and outdoor images show favorable results against several strong baselines and validate the effectiveness of our approach.

3. 3D for Free: Crossmodal Transfer Learning using HD Maps [PDF] 返回目录
  Benjamin Wilson, Zsolt Kira, James Hays
Abstract: 3D object detection is a core perceptual challenge for robotics and autonomous driving. However, the class-taxonomies in modern autonomous driving datasets are significantly smaller than many influential 2D detection datasets. In this work, we address the long-tail problem by leveraging both the large class-taxonomies of modern 2D datasets and the robustness of state-of-the-art 2D detection methods. We proceed to mine a large, unlabeled dataset of images and LiDAR, and estimate 3D object bounding cuboids, seeded from an off-the-shelf 2D instance segmentation model. Critically, we constrain this ill-posed 2D-to-3D mapping by using high-definition maps and object size priors. The result of the mining process is 3D cuboids with varying confidence. This mining process is itself a 3D object detector, although not especially accurate when evaluated as such. However, we then train a 3D object detection model on these cuboids, consistent with other recent observations in the deep learning literature, we find that the resulting model is fairly robust to the noisy supervision that our mining process provides. We mine a collection of 1151 unlabeled, multimodal driving logs from an autonomous vehicle and use the discovered objects to train a LiDAR-based object detector. We show that detector performance increases as we mine more unlabeled data. With our full, unlabeled dataset, our method performs competitively with fully supervised methods, even exceeding the performance for certain object categories, without any human 3D annotations.

4. What makes fake images detectable? Understanding properties that generalize [PDF] 返回目录
  Lucy Chai, David Bau, Ser-Nam Lim, Phillip Isola
Abstract: The quality of image generation and manipulation is reaching impressive levels, making it increasingly difficult for a human to distinguish between what is real and what is fake. However, deep networks can still pick up on the subtle artifacts in these doctored images. We seek to understand what properties of fake images make them detectable and identify what generalizes across different model architectures, datasets, and variations in training. We use a patch-based classifier with limited receptive fields to visualize which regions of fake images are more easily detectable. We further show a technique to exaggerate these detectable properties and demonstrate that, even when the image generator is adversarially finetuned against a fake image classifier, it is still imperfect and leaves detectable artifacts in certain image patches.

  Brian McClannahan, Krushi Patel, Usman Sajid, Cuncong Zhong, Guanghui Wang
Abstract: The paper proposes to employ deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to classify noncoding RNA (ncRNA) sequences. To this end, we first propose an efficient approach to convert the RNA sequences into images characterizing their base-pairing probability. As a result, classifying RNA sequences is converted to an image classification problem that can be efficiently solved by available CNN-based classification models. The paper also considers the folding potential of the ncRNAs in addition to their primary sequence. Based on the proposed approach, a benchmark image classification dataset is generated from the RFAM database of ncRNA sequences. In addition, three classical CNN models have been implemented and compared to demonstrate the superior performance and efficiency of the proposed approach. Extensive experimental results show the great potential of using deep learning approaches for RNA classification.

  Luis Roldão, Raoul de Charette, Anne Verroust-Blondet
Abstract: We introduce a new approach for multiscale 3D semantic scene completion from sparse 3D occupancy grid like voxelized LiDAR scans. As opposed to the literature, we use a 2D UNet backbone with comprehensive multiscale skip connections to enhance feature flow, along with 3D segmentation heads. On the SemanticKITTI benchmark, our method performs on par on semantic completion and better on completion than all other published methods - while being significantly lighter and faster. As such it provides a great performance/speed trade-off for mobile-robotics applications. The ablation studies demonstrate our method is robust to lower density inputs, and that it enables very high speed semantic completion at the coarsest level. Qualitative results of our approach are provided at this http URL.

7. Certainty Pooling for Multiple Instance Learning [PDF] 返回目录
  Jacob Gildenblat, Ido Ben-Shaul, Zvi Lapp, Eldad Klaiman
Abstract: Multiple Instance Learning is a form of weakly supervised learning in which the data is arranged in sets of instances called bags with one label assigned per bag. The bag level class prediction is derived from the multiple instances through application of a permutation invariant pooling operator on instance predictions or embeddings. We present a novel pooling operator called \textbf{Certainty Pooling} which incorporates the model certainty into bag predictions resulting in a more robust and explainable model. We compare our proposed method with other pooling operators in controlled experiments with low evidence ratio bags based on MNIST, as well as on a real life histopathology dataset - Camelyon16. Our method outperforms other methods in both bag level and instance level prediction, especially when only small training sets are available. We discuss the rationale behind our approach and the reasons for its superiority for these types of datasets.

Abstract: With the rapid development of electronic commerce, the way of shopping has experienced a revolutionary evolution. To fully meet customers' massive and diverse online shopping needs with quick response, the retailing AI system needs to automatically recognize products from images and videos at the stock-keeping unit (SKU) level with high accuracy. However, product recognition is still a challenging task, since many of SKU-level products are fine-grained and visually similar by a rough glimpse. Although there are already some products benchmarks available, these datasets are either too small (limited number of products) or noisy-labeled (lack of human labeling). In this paper, we construct a human-labeled product image dataset named "Products-10K", which contains 10,000 fine-grained SKU-level products frequently bought by online customers in this http URL. Based on our new database, we also introduced several useful tips and tricks for fine-grained product recognition. The products-10K dataset is available via this https URL.

Abstract: Semantic segmentation of point clouds is a key component of scene understanding for robotics and autonomous driving. In this paper, we introduce TORNADO-Net - a neural network for 3D LiDAR point cloud semantic segmentation. We incorporate a multi-view (bird-eye and range) projection feature extraction with an encoder-decoder ResNet architecture with a novel diamond context block. Current projection-based methods do not take into account that neighboring points usually belong to the same class. To better utilize this local neighbourhood information and reduce noisy predictions, we introduce a combination of Total Variation, Lovasz-Softmax, and Weighted Cross-Entropy losses. We also take advantage of the fact that the LiDAR data encompasses 360 degrees field of view and uses circular padding. We demonstrate state-of-the-art results on the SemanticKITTI dataset and also provide thorough quantitative evaluations and ablation results.

10. Decision Support for Video-based Detection of Flu Symptoms [PDF] 返回目录
  Kenneth Lai, Svetlana N. Yanushkevich
Abstract: The development of decision support systems is a growing domain that can be applied in the area of disease control and diagnostics. Using video-based surveillance data, skeleton features are extracted to perform action recognition, specifically the detection and recognition of coughing and sneezing motions. Providing evidence of flu-like symptoms, a decision support system based on causal networks is capable of providing the operator with vital information for decision-making. A modified residual temporal convolutional network is proposed for action recognition using skeleton features. This paper addresses the capability of using results from a machine-learning model as evidence for a cognitive decision support system. We propose risk and trust measures as a metric to bridge between machine-learning and machine-reasoning. We provide experiments on evaluating the performance of the proposed network and how these performance measures can be combined with risk to generate trust.

11. EfficientFCN: Holistically-guided Decoding for Semantic Segmentation [PDF] 返回目录
  Jianbo Liu, Junjun He, Jiawei Zhang, Jimmy S. Ren, Hongsheng Li
Abstract: Both performance and efficiency are important to semantic segmentation. State-of-the-art semantic segmentation algorithms are mostly based on dilated Fully Convolutional Networks (dilatedFCN), which adopt dilated convolutions in the backbone networks to extract high-resolution feature maps for achieving high-performance segmentation performance. However, due to many convolution operations are conducted on the high-resolution feature maps, such dilatedFCN-based methods result in large computational complexity and memory consumption. To balance the performance and efficiency, there also exist encoder-decoder structures that gradually recover the spatial information by combining multi-level feature maps from the encoder. However, the performances of existing encoder-decoder methods are far from comparable with the dilatedFCN-based methods. In this paper, we propose the EfficientFCN, whose backbone is a common ImageNet pre-trained network without any dilated convolution. A holistically-guided decoder is introduced to obtain the high-resolution semantic-rich feature maps via the multi-scale features from the encoder. The decoding task is converted to novel codebook generation and codeword assembly task, which takes advantages of the high-level and low-level features from the encoder. Such a framework achieves comparable or even better performance than state-of-the-art methods with only 1/3 of the computational cost. Extensive experiments on PASCAL Context, PASCAL VOC, ADE20K validate the effectiveness of the proposed EfficientFCN.
摘要:无论是性能和效率是语义分割重要。国家的最先进的语义分割算法大多基于扩张完全卷积网络(dilatedFCN),其均采用扩张盘旋在骨干网中提取高分辨率功能映射实现高性能的分割性能。然而,由于许多卷积操作是在高分辨率的特征图进行,例如基于dilatedFCN的方法导致大的计算复杂性和内存消耗。为了平衡的性能和效率,还存在编码器 - 解码器结构,其逐渐恢复由多级特征映射从编码器相结合的空间信息。然而,现有的编码器,解码器方法的性能还远远没有与基于dilatedFCN的方法相媲美。在本文中,我们提出了EfficientFCN,其骨架是没有任何扩张卷积共同ImageNet预先训练网络。甲整体上引导的解码器被引入到得到高分辨率富语义特征图通过多尺度从编码器功能。解码任务被转换为新的码本生成和码字组装作业,这需要高级别和低级别的优点从编码器功能。这种框架实现了比状态的最先进的方法仅计算成本的1/3相当或甚至更好的性能。帕斯卡语境,PASCAL VOC广泛的实验,ADE20K验证了该EfficientFCN的有效性。

12. Lossy Image Compression with Normalizing Flows [PDF] 返回目录
  Leonhard Helminger, Abdelaziz Djelouah, Markus Gross, Christopher Schroers
Abstract: Deep learning based image compression has recently witnessed exciting progress and in some cases even managed to surpass transform coding based approaches that have been established and refined over many decades. However, state-of-the-art solutions for deep image compression typically employ autoencoders which map the input to a lower dimensional latent space and thus irreversibly discard information already before quantization. Due to that, they inherently limit the range of quality levels that can be covered. In contrast, traditional approaches in image compression allow for a larger range of quality levels. Interestingly, they employ an invertible transformation before performing the quantization step which explicitly discards information. Inspired by this, we propose a deep image compression method that is able to go from low bit-rates to near lossless quality by leveraging normalizing flows to learn a bijective mapping from the image space to a latent representation. In addition to this, we demonstrate further advantages unique to our solution, such as the ability to maintain constant quality results through re-encoding, even when performed multiple times. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to explore the opportunities for leveraging normalizing flows for lossy image compression.
摘要:深学习基于图像压缩最近目睹了令人振奋的进展,并在甚至设法超越变换编码已经建立和完善了几十年为基础的办法某些情况下。然而,对于深图像压缩状态的最先进的解决方案通常采用其量化之前已经映射输入到较低维潜在空间,从而不可逆地丢弃信息自动编码。原因在于,它们本质上限制了可覆盖质量水平的范围内。相反,在图像压缩传统方法允许更大范围的质量水平。有趣的是,他们执行的量化步长,其中明确丢弃信息之前采用的可逆转变。受此启发,我们建议能够通过利用正火从低比特率去近无损质量流向学习从图像空间双射映射至潜表示了深刻的图像压缩方法。除了这个,我们表现出独特的我们的解决方案更多的优点,如通过重新编码,以保持恒定的质量结果进行多次,即使能力。据我们所知,这是探索利用有损图像压缩正火流动机会的第一项工作。

  Jiahua Dong, Yang Cong, Gan Sun, Yuyang Liu, Xiaowei Xu
Abstract: Unsupervised domain adaptation without consuming annotation process for unlabeled target data attracts appealing interests in semantic segmentation. However, 1) existing methods neglect that not all semantic representations across domains are transferable, which cripples domain-wise transfer with untransferable knowledge; 2) they fail to narrow category-wise distribution shift due to category-agnostic feature alignment. To address above challenges, we develop a new Critical Semantic-Consistent Learning (CSCL) model, which mitigates the discrepancy of both domain-wise and category-wise distributions. Specifically, a critical transfer based adversarial framework is designed to highlight transferable domain-wise knowledge while neglecting untransferable knowledge. Transferability-critic guides transferability-quantizer to maximize positive transfer gain under reinforcement learning manner, although negative transfer of untransferable knowledge occurs. Meanwhile, with the help of confidence-guided pseudo labels generator of target samples, a symmetric soft divergence loss is presented to explore inter-class relationships and facilitate category-wise distribution alignment. Experiments on several datasets demonstrate the superiority of our model.

  Sebastiano Verde, Paolo Bestagini, Simone Milani, Giancarlo Calvagno, Stefano Tubaro
Abstract: Forgery operations on video contents are nowadays within the reach of anyone, thanks to the availability of powerful and user-friendly editing software. Integrity verification and authentication of videos represent a major interest in both journalism (e.g., fake news debunking) and legal environments dealing with digital evidence (e.g., a court of law). While several strategies and different forensics traces have been proposed in recent years, latest solutions aim at increasing the accuracy by combining multiple detectors and features. This paper presents a video forgery localization framework that verifies the self-consistency of coding traces between and within video frames, by fusing the information derived from a set of independent feature descriptors. The feature extraction step is carried out by means of an explainable convolutional neural network architecture, specifically designed to look for and classify coding artifacts. The overall framework was validated in two typical forgery scenarios: temporal and spatial splicing. Experimental results show an improvement to the state-of-the-art on temporal splicing localization and also promising performance in the newly tackled case of spatial splicing, on both synthetic and real-world videos.

  Hui Wen, Yue Wu, Chenming Yang, Jingjing Li, Yue Zhu, Xu Jiang, Hancong Duan
Abstract: The Teacher-Student (T-S) framework is widely utilized in the classification tasks, through which the performance of one neural network (the student) can be improved by transferring knowledge from another trained neural network (the teacher). Since the transferring knowledge is related to the network capacities and structures between the teacher and the student, how to define efficient knowledge remains an open question. To address this issue, we design a novel transferring knowledge, the Self-Attention based Inter-Class Correlation (ICC) map in the output layer, and propose our T-S framework, Inter-Class Correlation Transfer (ICCT).

  Ming Zhu, Chao Ma, Pan Ji, Xiaokang Yang
Abstract: In this paper, we focus on exploring the fusion of images and point clouds for 3D object detection in view of the complementary nature of the two modalities, i.e., images possess more semantic information while point clouds specialize in distance sensing. To this end, we present a novel two-stage multi-modal fusion network for 3D object detection, taking both binocular images and raw point clouds as input. The whole architecture facilitates two-stage fusion. The first stage aims at producing 3D proposals through sparse point-wise feature fusion. Within the first stage, we further exploit a joint anchor mechanism that enables the network to utilize 2D-3D classification and regression simultaneously for better proposal generation. The second stage works on the 2D and 3D proposal regions and fuses their dense features. In addition, we propose to use pseudo LiDAR points from stereo matching as a data augmentation method to densify the LiDAR points, as we observe that objects missed by the detection network mostly have too few points especially for far-away objects. Our experiments on the KITTI dataset show that the proposed multi-stage fusion helps the network to learn better representations.

18. Global-local Enhancement Network for NMFs-aware Sign Language Recognition [PDF] 返回目录
  Hezhen Hu, Wengang Zhou, Junfu Pu, Houqiang Li
Abstract: Sign language recognition (SLR) is a challenging problem, involving complex manual features, i.e., hand gestures, and fine-grained non-manual features (NMFs), i.e., facial expression, mouth shapes, etc. Although manual features are dominant, non-manual features also play an important role in the expression of a sign word. Specifically, many sign words convey different meanings due to non-manual features, even though they share the same hand gestures. This ambiguity introduces great challenges in the recognition of sign words. To tackle the above issue, we propose a simple yet effective architecture called Global-local Enhancement Network (GLE-Net), including two mutually promoted streams towards different crucial aspects of SLR. Of the two streams, one captures the global contextual relationship, while the other models the discriminative fine-grained cues. Moreover, due to the lack of datasets explicitly focusing on this kind of features, we introduce the first non-manual features-aware isolated Chinese sign language dataset (NMFs-CSL) with a total vocabulary size of 1,067 sign words in daily life. Extensive experiments on NMFs-CSL and SLR500 datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.

  Grzegorz Jacenków, Alison Q. O'Neil, Brian Mohr, Sotirios A. Tsaftaris
Abstract: We consider the problem of integrating non-imaging information into segmentation networks to improve performance. Conditioning layers such as FiLM provide the means to selectively amplify or suppress the contribution of different feature maps in a linear fashion. However, spatial dependency is difficult to learn within a convolutional paradigm. In this paper, we propose a mechanism to allow for spatial localisation conditioned on non-imaging information, using a feature-wise attention mechanism comprising a differentiable parametrised function (e.g. Gaussian), prior to applying the feature-wise modulation. We name our method INstance modulation with SpatIal DEpendency (INSIDE). The conditioning information might comprise any factors that relate to spatial or spatio-temporal information such as lesion location, size, and cardiac cycle phase. Our method can be trained end-to-end and does not require additional supervision. We evaluate the method on two datasets: a new CLEVR-Seg dataset where we segment objects based on location, and the ACDC dataset conditioned on cardiac phase and slice location within the volume. Code and the CLEVR-Seg dataset are available at this https URL.

Abstract: We report that a very high accuracy on the MNIST test set can be achieved by using simple convolutional neural network (CNN) models. We use three different models with 3x3, 5x5, and 7x7 kernel size in the convolution layers. Each model consists of a set of convolution layers followed by a single fully connected layer. Every convolution layer uses batch normalization and ReLU activation, and pooling is not used. Rotation and translation is used to augment training data, which is frequently used in most image classification tasks. A majority voting using the three models independently trained on the training data set can achieve up to 99.87% accuracy on the test set, which is one of the state-of-the-art results. A two-layer ensemble, a heterogeneous ensemble of three homogeneous ensemble networks, can achieve up to 99.91% test accuracy. The results can be reproduced by using the code at: this https URL

  Lucas Hu, Caleb Robinson, Bistra Dilkina
Abstract: Recent work has shown that deep learning models can be used to classify land-use data from geospatial satellite imagery. We show that when these deep learning models are trained on data from specific continents/seasons, there is a high degree of variability in model performance on out-of-sample continents/seasons. This suggests that just because a model accurately predicts land-use classes in one continent or season does not mean that the model will accurately predict land-use classes in a different continent or season. We then use clustering techniques on satellite imagery from different continents to visualize the differences in landscapes that make geospatial generalization particularly difficult, and summarize our takeaways for future satellite imagery-related applications.

23. Multi-scale Deep Feature Representation Based on SR-GAN for Low Resolution Person Re-identfication [PDF] 返回目录
  Guoqing Zhang, zhenxing Wang, yuhui Zheng, Jianwei Zhang
Abstract: As the key technology of automatic video surveillance, person re-identfication (Re-ID) has attracted widespread interest and has been applied in many applications. Most of existing Re-ID methods usually assume that pedestrian images taken from different cameras have uniform resolutions. However, in many practical scenes, due to variations of distances between person-cameras as well as the deployment setting of cameras, the resolution of the pedestrian images is usually different. Such situation will be resulting in resolution mismatch problem. If we directly match pedestrian image with different resolutions, the performance of Re-ID will be affected adversely because of the discrepancy of information amount. To tackle this issue, one potential solution is to combine the super-resolution (SR) technology with Re-ID method. In this paper, we propose a super-resolution GAN (SR-GAN) based Multi-scale Deep Feature Representation (MFR-GAN) framework for Low Resolution person re-identification, which aims to optimize the super-resolution of image and pedestrian matching. We first design three cascaded SR-GANs to increase the resolution of person images with different upscaling factor and then introduce a re-identification network after each SR-GAN to strengthen the representation capability of image features. Experiments on two synthetic datasets and a common Re-ID dataset confirm that our method (MFR-GAN) can solve the resolution mismatch problem effectively.
摘要:自动视频监控的关键技术,人再identfication(再ID)已引起广泛关注,并在许多应用中得到了应用。大多数的现有重新ID方法通常假设来自不同照相机拍摄的行人的图像具有均匀的分辨率。然而,在许多实际场景中,由于人的数码相机以及摄像机的部署环境之间的距离变化,行人图像的分辨率通常是不同的。这种情况将导致分辨率不匹配的问题。如果我们直接匹配不同分辨率的图像行人,再ID的业绩将受到不利,因为信息量的差异的影响。为了解决这个问题,一个可能的解决方案是超分辨率(SR)技术,重新编号方法结合起来。在本文中,我们提出了一个超分辨率甘(SR-GAN)基于多尺度深特征表示(MFR-GAN)的低分辨率人重新鉴定,框架,旨在优化超分辨率图像和行人匹配。我们首先设计三个级联SR-甘斯,以增加人的图像不同放大因子的分辨率,然后将每个SR-GaN之后推出重新鉴定网络,以加强图像特征的表现能力。在两个数据集合成和公共重新ID数据集确认实验,我们的方法(MFR-GAN)可有效解决分辨率不匹配的问题。

  Pavan A, Adithya Bennur, Mohit Gaggar, Shylaja S S
Abstract: Image dehazing is a crucial image pre-processing task aimed at removing the incoherent noise generated by haze to improve the visual appeal of the image. The existing models use sophisticated networks and custom loss functions which are computationally inefficient and requires heavy hardware to run. Time is of the essence in image pre-processing since real time outputs can be obtained instantly. To overcome these problems, our proposed generic model uses a very light convolutional encoder-decoder network which does not depend on any atmospheric models. The network complexity-image quality trade off is handled well in this neural network and the performance of this network is not limited by low-spec systems. This network achieves optimum dehazing performance at a much faster rate, on several standard datasets, comparable to the state-of-the-art methods in terms of image quality.

Abstract: Spherical videos, also known as \ang{360} (panorama) videos, can be viewed with various virtual reality devices such as computers and head-mounted displays. They attract large amount of interest since awesome immersion can be experienced when watching spherical videos. However, capturing, storing and transmitting high-resolution spherical videos are extremely expensive. In this paper, we propose a novel single frame and multi-frame joint network (SMFN) for recovering high-resolution spherical videos from low-resolution inputs. To take advantage of pixel-level inter-frame consistency, deformable convolutions are used to eliminate the motion difference between feature maps of the target frame and its neighboring frames. A mixed attention mechanism is devised to enhance the feature representation capability. The dual learning strategy is exerted to constrain the space of solution so that a better solution can be found. A novel loss function based on the weighted mean square error is proposed to emphasize on the super-resolution of the equatorial regions. This is the first attempt to settle the super-resolution of spherical videos, and we collect a novel dataset from the Internet, MiG Panorama Video, which includes 204 videos. Experimental results on 4 representative video clips demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method. The dataset and code are available at this https URL.

Abstract: In this technical report, we present our submission to the VisDA Challenge in ECCV 2020 and we achieved one of the top-performing results on the leaderboard. Our solution is based on Structured Domain Adaptation (SDA) and Mutual Mean-Teaching (MMT) frameworks. SDA, a domain-translation-based framework, focuses on carefully translating the source-domain images to the target domain. MMT, a pseudo-label-based framework, focuses on conducting pseudo label refinery with robust soft labels. Specifically, there are three main steps in our training pipeline. (i) We adopt SDA to generate source-to-target translated images, and (ii) such images serve as informative training samples to pre-train the network. (iii) The pre-trained network is further fine-tuned by MMT on the target domain. Note that we design an improved MMT (dubbed MMT+) to further mitigate the label noise by modeling inter-sample relations across two domains and maintaining the instance discrimination. Our proposed method achieved 74.78% accuracies in terms of mAP, ranked the 2nd place out of 153 teams.

Abstract: Unsupervised learning has always been appealing to machine learning researchers and practitioners, allowing them to avoid an expensive and complicated process of labeling the data. However, unsupervised learning of complex data is challenging, and even the best approaches show much weaker performance than their supervised counterparts. Self-supervised deep learning has become a strong instrument for representation learning in computer vision. However, those methods have not been evaluated in a fully unsupervised setting. In this paper, we propose a simple scheme for unsupervised classification based on self-supervised representations. We evaluate the proposed approach with several recent self-supervised methods showing that it achieves competitive results for ImageNet classification (39% accuracy on ImageNet with 1000 clusters and 46% with overclustering). We suggest adding the unsupervised evaluation to a set of standard benchmarks for self-supervised learning. The code is available at this https URL

  Guohao Li, Mengmeng Xu, Silvio Giancola, Ali Thabet, Bernard Ghanem
Abstract: Point cloud architecture design has become a crucial problem for 3D deep learning. Several efforts exist to manually design architectures with high accuracy in point cloud tasks such as classification, segmentation, and detection. Recent progress in automatic Neural Architecture Search (NAS) minimizes the human effort in network design and optimizes high performing architectures. However, these efforts fail to consider important factors such as latency during inference. Latency is of high importance in time critical applications like self-driving cars, robot navigation, and mobile applications, that are generally bound by the available hardware. In this paper, we introduce a new NAS framework, dubbed LC-NAS, where we search for point cloud architectures that are constrained to a target latency. We implement a novel latency constraint formulation to trade-off between accuracy and latency in our architecture search. Contrary to previous works, our latency loss guarantees that the final network achieves latency under a specified target value. This is crucial when the end task is to be deployed in a limited hardware setting. Extensive experiments show that LC-NAS is able to find state-of-the-art architectures for point cloud classification in ModelNet40 with minimal computational cost. We also show how our searched architectures achieve any desired latency with a reasonably low drop in accuracy. Finally, we show how our searched architectures easily transfer to a different task, part segmentation on PartNet, where we achieve state-of-the-art results while lowering latency by a factor of 10.

  Robin Kips, Pietro Gori, Matthieu Perrot, Isabelle Bloch
Abstract: While existing makeup style transfer models perform an image synthesis whose results cannot be explicitly controlled, the ability to modify makeup color continuously is a desirable property for virtual try-on applications. We propose a new formulation for the makeup style transfer task, with the objective to learn a color controllable makeup style synthesis. We introduce CA-GAN, a generative model that learns to modify the color of specific objects (e.g. lips or eyes) in the image to an arbitrary target color while preserving background. Since color labels are rare and costly to acquire, our method leverages weakly supervised learning for conditional GANs. This enables to learn a controllable synthesis of complex objects, and only requires a weak proxy of the image attribute that we desire to modify. Finally, we present for the first time a quantitative analysis of makeup style transfer and color control performance.

  David Bruggemann, Menelaos Kanakis, Stamatios Georgoulis, Luc Van Gool
Abstract: The multi-modal nature of many vision problems calls for neural network architectures that can perform multiple tasks concurrently. Typically, such architectures have been handcrafted in the literature. However, given the size and complexity of the problem, this manual architecture exploration likely exceeds human design abilities. In this paper, we propose a principled approach, rooted in differentiable neural architecture search, to automatically define branching (tree-like) structures in the encoding stage of a multi-task neural network. To allow flexibility within resource-constrained environments, we introduce a proxyless, resource-aware loss that dynamically controls the model size. Evaluations across a variety of dense prediction tasks show that our approach consistently finds high-performing branching structures within limited resource budgets.

31. Semantic Labeling of Large-Area Geographic Regions Using Multi-View and Multi-Date Satellite Images, and Noisy OSM Training Labels [PDF] 返回目录
  Bharath Comandur, Avinash C. Kak
Abstract: We present a novel multi-view training framework and CNN architecture for combining information from multiple overlapping satellite images and noisy training labels derived from OpenStreetMap (OSM) for semantic labeling of buildings and roads across large geographic regions (100 km$^2$). Our approach to multi-view semantic segmentation yields a 4-7% improvement in the per-class IoU scores compared to the traditional approaches that use the views independently of one another. A unique (and, perhaps, surprising) property of our system is that modifications that are added to the tail-end of the CNN for learning from the multi-view data can be discarded at the time of inference with a relatively small penalty in the overall performance. This implies that the benefits of training using multiple views are absorbed by all the layers of the network. Additionally, our approach only adds a small overhead in terms of the GPU-memory consumption even when training with as many as 32 views per scene. The system we present is end-to-end automated, which facilitates comparing the classifiers trained directly on true orthophotos vis-a-vis first training them on the off-nadir images and subsequently translating the predicted labels to geographical coordinates. With no human supervision, our IoU scores for the buildings and roads classes are 0.8 and 0.64 respectively which are better than state-of-the-art approaches that use OSM labels and that are not completely automated.

  Aniket Joshi, Gaurav Mishra, Jayanthi Sivaswamy
Abstract: Deep learning based approaches to Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) typically pose the problem as an image classification (Normal or Abnormal) problem. These systems achieve high to very high accuracy in specific disease detection for which they are trained but lack in terms of an explanation for the provided decision/classification result. The activation maps which correspond to decisions do not correlate well with regions of interest for specific diseases. This paper examines this problem and proposes an approach which mimics the clinical practice of looking for an evidence prior to diagnosis. A CAD model is learnt using a mixed set of information: class labels for the entire training set of images plus a rough localisation of suspect regions as an extra input for a smaller subset of training images for guiding the learning. The proposed approach is illustrated with detection of diabetic macular edema (DME) from OCT slices. Results of testing on on a large public dataset show that with just a third of images with roughly segmented fluid filled regions, the classification accuracy is on par with state of the art methods while providing a good explanation in the form of anatomically accurate heatmap /region of interest. The proposed solution is then adapted to Breast Cancer detection from mammographic images. Good evaluation results on public datasets underscores the generalisability of the proposed solution.

Abstract: The sensitivity of imaging spectroscopy to hemoglobin derivatives makes it a promising tool for detecting blood. However, due to complexity and high dimensionality of hyperspectral images, the development of hyperspectral blood detection algorithms is challenging. To facilitate their development, we present a new hyperspectral blood detection dataset. This dataset, published in accordance to open access mandate, consist of multiple detection scenarios with varying levels of complexity. It allows to test the performance of Machine Learning methods in relation to different acquisition environments, types of background, age of blood and presence of other blood-like substances. We explored the dataset with blood detection experiments. We used hyperspectral target detection algorithm based on the well-known Matched Filter detector. Our results and their discussion highlight the challenges of blood detection in hyperspectral data and form a reference for further works

  Mallikarjun B R., Ayush Tewari, Tae-Hyun Oh, Tim Weyrich, Bernd Bickel, Hans-Peter Seidel, Hanspeter Pfister, Wojciech Matusik, Mohamed Elgharib, Christian Theobalt
Abstract: The reflectance field of a face describes the reflectance properties responsible for complex lighting effects including diffuse, specular, inter-reflection and self shadowing. Most existing methods for estimating the face reflectance from a monocular image assume faces to be diffuse with very few approaches adding a specular component. This still leaves out important perceptual aspects of reflectance as higher-order global illumination effects and self-shadowing are not modeled. We present a new neural representation for face reflectance where we can estimate all components of the reflectance responsible for the final appearance from a single monocular image. Instead of modeling each component of the reflectance separately using parametric models, our neural representation allows us to generate a basis set of faces in a geometric deformation-invariant space, parameterized by the input light direction, viewpoint and face geometry. We learn to reconstruct this reflectance field of a face just from a monocular image, which can be used to render the face from any viewpoint in any light condition. Our method is trained on a light-stage training dataset, which captures 300 people illuminated with 150 light conditions from 8 viewpoints. We show that our method outperforms existing monocular reflectance reconstruction methods, in terms of photorealism due to better capturing of physical premitives, such as sub-surface scattering, specularities, self-shadows and other higher-order effects.

Abstract: Canine mammary carcinoma (CMC) has been used as a model to investigate the pathogenesis of human breast cancer and the same grading scheme is commonly used to assess tumor malignancy in both. One key component of this grading scheme is the density of mitotic figures (MF). Current publicly available datasets on human breast cancer only provide annotations for small subsets of whole slide images (WSIs). We present a novel dataset of 21 WSIs of CMC completely annotated for MF. For this, a pathologist screened all WSIs for potential MF and structures with a similar appearance. A second expert blindly assigned labels, and for non-matching labels, a third expert assigned the final labels. Additionally, we used machine learning to identify previously undetected MF. Finally, we performed representation learning and two-dimensional projection to further increase the consistency of the annotations. Our dataset consists of 13,907 MF and 36,379 hard negatives. We achieved a mean F1-score of 0.791 on the test set and of up to 0.696 on a human breast cancer dataset.

36. VLANet: Video-Language Alignment Network for Weakly-Supervised Video Moment Retrieval [PDF] 返回目录
  Minuk Ma, Sunjae Yoon, Junyeong Kim, Youngjoon Lee, Sunghun Kang, Chang D. Yoo
Abstract: Video Moment Retrieval (VMR) is a task to localize the temporal moment in untrimmed video specified by natural language query. For VMR, several methods that require full supervision for training have been proposed. Unfortunately, acquiring a large number of training videos with labeled temporal boundaries for each query is a labor-intensive process. This paper explores methods for performing VMR in a weakly-supervised manner (wVMR): training is performed without temporal moment labels but only with the text query that describes a segment of the video. Existing methods on wVMR generate multi-scale proposals and apply query-guided attention mechanisms to highlight the most relevant proposal. To leverage the weak supervision, contrastive learning is used which predicts higher scores for the correct video-query pairs than for the incorrect pairs. It has been observed that a large number of candidate proposals, coarse query representation, and one-way attention mechanism lead to blurry attention maps which limit the localization performance. To handle this issue, Video-Language Alignment Network (VLANet) is proposed that learns sharper attention by pruning out spurious candidate proposals and applying a multi-directional attention mechanism with fine-grained query representation. The Surrogate Proposal Selection module selects a proposal based on the proximity to the query in the joint embedding space, and thus substantially reduces candidate proposals which leads to lower computation load and sharper attention. Next, the Cascaded Cross-modal Attention module considers dense feature interactions and multi-directional attention flow to learn the multi-modal alignment. VLANet is trained end-to-end using contrastive loss which enforces semantically similar videos and queries to gather. The experiments show that the method achieves state-of-the-art performance on Charades-STA and DiDeMo datasets.
摘要:视频检索瞬间(VMR)是本地化的时间时刻由自然语言查询指定的修剪视频的任务。对于VMR,需要培训全程监督的几种方法已经被提出。不幸的是,获取与每个查询标记时间的界限了大量的培训视频是一个劳动力密集的过程。本文探讨了在弱监督的方式执行VMR方法(wVMR):培训不具有时间时刻标签,但只与描述视频的一个片段的文本查询执行。在wVMR现有的方法产生的多尺度提案和申请查询的注意力引导机制,突出最相关的建议。要利用监管不力,对比学习使用哪种预测更高的分数比为不正确对正确的视频查询对。据观察,大量的候选提案,粗查询表示,和单向注意机制导致模糊不清注意地图这限制了定位性能。为了解决这个问题,视频语言对齐网(VLANet)被修剪出虚假候选人的提案和应用细粒度查询表示一个多方位的注意机制提出了更清晰获悉注意。替代建议选择模块选择基于接近到在关节嵌入空间查询的建议,并且因此显着地降低候选的提案,其导致较低计算负荷和更清晰的关注。接下来,级联跨模态注意模块认为密集特征相互作用和多方位的关注流向学习多模式定位。 VLANet使用对比损失,强制执行语义上类似的视频和查询来收集受训结束到终端。该实验表明,该方法实现了对字谜-STA和DiDeMo数据集状态的最先进的性能。

  Xinyan Zhang, Yunfeng Wang, Pengfei Xiong
Abstract: As a fine-grained segmentation task, human parsing is still faced with two challenges: inter-part indistinction and intra-part inconsistency, due to the ambiguous definitions and confusing relationships between similar human parts. To tackle these two problems, this paper proposes a novel \textit{Affinity-aware Compression and Expansion} Network (ACENet), which mainly consists of two modules: Local Compression Module (LCM) and Global Expansion Module (GEM). Specifically, LCM compresses parts-correlation information through structural skeleton points, obtained from an extra skeleton branch. It can decrease the inter-part interference, and strengthen structural relationships between ambiguous parts. Furthermore, GEM expands semantic information of each part into a complete piece by incorporating the spatial affinity with boundary guidance, which can effectively enhance the semantic consistency of intra-part as well. ACENet achieves new state-of-the-art performance on the challenging LIP and Pascal-Person-Part datasets. In particular, 58.1% mean IoU is achieved on the LIP benchmark.

Abstract: We propose a neural rendering-based system that creates head avatars from a single photograph. Our approach models a person's appearance by decomposing it into two layers. The first layer is a pose-dependent coarse image that is synthesized by a small neural network. The second layer is defined by a pose-independent texture image that contains high-frequency details. The texture image is generated offline, warped and added to the coarse image to ensure a high effective resolution of synthesized head views. We compare our system to analogous state-of-the-art systems in terms of visual quality and speed. The experiments show significant inference speedup over previous neural head avatar models for a given visual quality. We also report on a real-time smartphone-based implementation of our system.

40. Learning Kernel for Conditional Moment-Matching Discrepancy-based Image Classification [PDF] 返回目录
  Chuan-Xian Ren, Pengfei Ge, Dao-Qing Dai, Hong Yan
Abstract: Conditional Maximum Mean Discrepancy (CMMD) can capture the discrepancy between conditional distributions by drawing support from nonlinear kernel functions, thus it has been successfully used for pattern classification. However, CMMD does not work well on complex distributions, especially when the kernel function fails to correctly characterize the difference between intra-class similarity and inter-class similarity. In this paper, a new kernel learning method is proposed to improve the discrimination performance of CMMD. It can be operated with deep network features iteratively and thus denoted as KLN for abbreviation. The CMMD loss and an auto-encoder (AE) are used to learn an injective function. By considering the compound kernel, i.e., the injective function with a characteristic kernel, the effectiveness of CMMD for data category description is enhanced. KLN can simultaneously learn a more expressive kernel and label prediction distribution, thus, it can be used to improve the classification performance in both supervised and semi-supervised learning scenarios. In particular, the kernel-based similarities are iteratively learned on the deep network features, and the algorithm can be implemented in an end-to-end manner. Extensive experiments are conducted on four benchmark datasets, including MNIST, SVHN, CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100. The results indicate that KLN achieves state-of-the-art classification performance.

  Jingwei Xu, Huazhe Xu, Bingbing Ni, Xiaokang Yang, Xiaolong Wang, Trevor Darrell
Abstract: Generating diverse and natural human motion is one of the long-standing goals for creating intelligent characters in the animated world. In this paper, we propose a self-supervised method for generating long-range, diverse and plausible behaviors to achieve a specific goal location. Our proposed method learns to model the motion of human by decomposing a long-range generation task in a hierarchical manner. Given the starting and ending states, a memory bank is used to retrieve motion references as source material for short-range clip generation. We first propose to explicitly disentangle the provided motion material into style and content counterparts via bi-linear transformation modelling, where diverse synthesis is achieved by free-form combination of these two components. The short-range clips are then connected to form a long-range motion sequence. Without ground truth annotation, we propose a parameterized bi-directional interpolation scheme to guarantee the physical validity and visual naturalness of generated results. On large-scale skeleton dataset, we show that the proposed method is able to synthesise long-range, diverse and plausible motion, which is also generalizable to unseen motion data during testing. Moreover, we demonstrate the generated sequences are useful as subgoals for actual physical execution in the animated world.

Abstract: Autonomous surgical procedures, in particular minimal invasive surgeries, are the next frontier for Artificial Intelligence research. However, the existing challenges include precise identification of the human anatomy and the surgical settings, and modeling the environment for training of an autonomous agent. To address the identification of human anatomy and the surgical settings, we propose a deep learning based semantic segmentation algorithm to identify and label the tissues and organs in the endoscopic video feed of the human torso region. We present an annotated dataset, m2caiSeg, created from endoscopic video feeds of real-world surgical procedures. Overall, the data consists of 307 images, each of which is annotated for the organs and different surgical instruments present in the scene. We propose and train a deep convolutional neural network for the semantic segmentation task. To cater for the low quantity of annotated data, we use unsupervised pre-training and data augmentation. The trained model is evaluated on an independent test set of the proposed dataset. We obtained a F1 score of 0.33 while using all the labeled categories for the semantic segmentation task. Secondly, we labeled all instruments into an 'Instruments' superclass to evaluate the model's performance on discerning the various organs and obtained a F1 score of 0.57. We propose a new dataset and a deep learning method for pixel level identification of various organs and instruments in a endoscopic surgical scene. Surgical scene understanding is one of the first steps towards automating surgical procedures.

43. Good Graph to Optimize: Cost-Effective, Budget-Aware Bundle Adjustment in Visual SLAM [PDF] 返回目录
  Yipu Zhao, Justin S. Smith, Patricio A. Vela
Abstract: The cost-efficiency of visual(-inertial) SLAM (VSLAM) is a critical characteristic of resource-limited applications. While hardware and algorithm advances have been significantly improved the cost-efficiency of VSLAM front-ends, the cost-efficiency of VSLAM back-ends remains a bottleneck. This paper describes a novel, rigorous method to improve the cost-efficiency of local BA in a BA-based VSLAM back-end. An efficient algorithm, called Good Graph, is developed to select size-reduced graphs optimized in local BA with condition preservation. To better suit BA-based VSLAM back-ends, the Good Graph predicts future estimation needs, dynamically assigns an appropriate size budget, and selects a condition-maximized subgraph for BA estimation. Evaluations are conducted on two scenarios: 1) VSLAM as standalone process, and 2) VSLAM as part of closed-loop navigation system. Results from the first scenario show Good Graph improves accuracy and robustness of VSLAM estimation, when computational limits exist. Results from the second scenario, indicate that Good Graph benefits the trajectory tracking performance of VSLAM-based closed-loop navigation systems, which is a primary application of VSLAM.

Abstract: Breakthroughs in machine learning have resulted in state-of-the-art deep neural networks (DNNs) performing classification tasks in safety-critical applications. Recent research has demonstrated that DNNs can be attacked through adversarial examples, which are small perturbations to input data that cause the DNN to misclassify objects. The proliferation of DNNs raises important safety concerns about designing systems that are robust to adversarial examples. In this work we develop adversarial examples to attack the Yolo V3 object detector [1] and then study strategies to detect and neutralize these examples.

  Hrishav Bakul Barua, Pradip Pramanick, Chayan Sarkar, Theint Haythi Mg
Abstract: This paper presents a novel architecture to detect social groups in real-time from a continuous image stream of an ego-vision camera. F-formation defines social orientations in space where two or more person tends to communicate in a social place. Thus, essentially, we detect F-formations in social gatherings such as meetings, discussions, etc. and predict the robot's approach angle if it wants to join the social group. Additionally, we also detect outliers, i.e., the persons who are not part of the group under consideration. Our proposed pipeline consists of -- a) a skeletal key points estimator (a total of 17) for the detected human in the scene, b) a learning model (using a feature vector based on the skeletal points) using CRF to detect groups of people and outlier person in a scene, and c) a separate learning model using a multi-class Support Vector Machine (SVM) to predict the exact F-formation of the group of people in the current scene and the angle of approach for the viewing robot. The system is evaluated using two data-sets. The results show that the group and outlier detection in a scene using our method establishes an accuracy of 91%. We have made rigorous comparisons of our systems with a state-of-the-art F-formation detection system and found that it outperforms the state-of-the-art by 29% for formation detection and 55% for combined detection of the formation and approach angle.

  Zbigniew Wojna, Krzysztof Maziarz, Łukasz Jocz, Robert Pałuba, Robert Kozikowski, Iasonas Kokkinos
Abstract: We address six different classification tasks related to fine-grained building attributes: construction type, number of floors, pitch, and geometry of the roof, facade material, and occupancy class. Tackling such a problem of remote building analysis became possible only recently due to growing large-scale datasets of urban scenes. To this end, we introduce a new benchmarking dataset, consisting of 49426 top-view and street-view images of 9674 buildings. These photos are further assembled, together with the geometric metadata. The dataset showcases a variety of real-world challenges, such as occlusions, blur, partially visible objects, and a broad spectrum of buildings. We propose a new projection pooling layer, creating a unified, top-view representation of the top-view and the side views in a high-dimensional space. It allows us to utilize the building and imagery metadata seamlessly. Introducing this layer improves classification accuracy -- compared to highly tuned baseline models -- indicating its suitability for building analysis.

49. Dual Adversarial Auto-Encoders for Clustering [PDF] 返回目录
  Pengfei Ge, Chuan-Xian Ren, Jiashi Feng, Shuicheng Yan
Abstract: As a powerful approach for exploratory data analysis, unsupervised clustering is a fundamental task in computer vision and pattern recognition. Many clustering algorithms have been developed, but most of them perform unsatisfactorily on the data with complex structures. Recently, Adversarial Auto-Encoder (AAE) shows effectiveness on tackling such data by combining Auto-Encoder (AE) and adversarial training, but it cannot effectively extract classification information from the unlabeled data. In this work, we propose Dual Adversarial Auto-encoder (Dual-AAE) which simultaneously maximizes the likelihood function and mutual information between observed examples and a subset of latent variables. By performing variational inference on the objective function of Dual-AAE, we derive a new reconstruction loss which can be optimized by training a pair of Auto-encoders. Moreover, to avoid mode collapse, we introduce the clustering regularization term for the category variable. Experiments on four benchmarks show that Dual-AAE achieves superior performance over state-of-the-art clustering methods. Besides, by adding a reject option, the clustering accuracy of Dual-AAE can reach that of supervised CNN algorithms. Dual-AAE can also be used for disentangling style and content of images without using supervised information.
摘要:对于探索性数据分析的有力方法,无监督聚类是计算机视觉和模式识别的根本任务。许多聚类算法已被开发,但大多执行对结构复杂的数据不能令人满意。近日,对抗性自动编码器来通过组合自动编码器(AE)和对抗性训练应对这样的数据(AAE)展示效果,但它不能有效地提取从标签数据分类信息。在这项工作中,我们提出了双对抗性自动编码器(双AAE)的同时最大化似然函数和观察到的例子和潜在变量的一个子集之间的相互信息。通过对双AAE的目标函数进行变推理,我们得出这可以通过训练对自动编码器进行优化,新的重建损失。另外,为避免模式崩溃,我们引入了类变量聚类调整项。四个基准测试实验表明,双AAE达到了国家的最先进的聚类方法优越的性能。此外,通过添加拒绝选项,双AAE的聚类准确率可以达到的监督CNN算法。双AAE也可用于解开风格和图像的内容,而无需使用监督信息。

Abstract: This report presents the approach used in the submission of the LVIS Challenge 2020 of team MMDet. In the submission, we propose Seesaw Loss that dynamically rebalances the penalty to each category according to a relative ratio of cumulative training instances between different categories. Furthermore, we propose HTC-Lite, a light-weight version of Hybrid Task Cascade (HTC) which replaces the semantic segmentation branch by a global context encoder. Seesaw Loss improves the strong baseline by 6.9% AP on LVIS v1 val split. With a single model, and without using external data and annotations except for standard ImageNet-1k classification dataset for backbone pre-training, our submission achieves 38.92% AP on the test-dev split of the LVIS v1 benchmark.

51. A Lip Sync Expert Is All You Need for Speech to Lip Generation In The Wild [PDF] 返回目录
  K R Prajwal, Rudrabha Mukhopadhyay, Vinay Namboodiri, C V Jawahar
Abstract: In this work, we investigate the problem of lip-syncing a talking face video of an arbitrary identity to match a target speech segment. Current works excel at producing accurate lip movements on a static image or videos of specific people seen during the training phase. However, they fail to accurately morph the lip movements of arbitrary identities in dynamic, unconstrained talking face videos, resulting in significant parts of the video being out-of-sync with the new audio. We identify key reasons pertaining to this and hence resolve them by learning from a powerful lip-sync discriminator. Next, we propose new, rigorous evaluation benchmarks and metrics to accurately measure lip synchronization in unconstrained videos. Extensive quantitative evaluations on our challenging benchmarks show that the lip-sync accuracy of the videos generated by our Wav2Lip model is almost as good as real synced videos. We provide a demo video clearly showing the substantial impact of our Wav2Lip model and evaluation benchmarks on our website: \url{this http URL}. The code and models are released at this GitHub repository: \url{this http URL}. You can also try out the interactive demo at this link: \url{this http URL}.

52. Discriminative Residual Analysis for Image Set Classification with Posture and Age Variations [PDF] 返回目录
  Chuan-Xian Ren, You-Wei Luo, Xiao-Lin Xu, Dao-Qing Dai, Hong Yan
Abstract: Image set recognition has been widely applied in many practical problems like real-time video retrieval and image caption tasks. Due to its superior performance, it has grown into a significant topic in recent years. However, images with complicated variations, e.g., postures and human ages, are difficult to address, as these variations are continuous and gradual with respect to image appearance. Consequently, the crucial point of image set recognition is to mine the intrinsic connection or structural information from the image batches with variations. In this work, a Discriminant Residual Analysis (DRA) method is proposed to improve the classification performance by discovering discriminant features in related and unrelated groups. Specifically, DRA attempts to obtain a powerful projection which casts the residual representations into a discriminant subspace. Such a projection subspace is expected to magnify the useful information of the input space as much as possible, then the relation between the training set and the test set described by the given metric or distance will be more precise in the discriminant subspace. We also propose a nonfeasance strategy by defining another approach to construct the unrelated groups, which help to reduce furthermore the cost of sampling errors. Two regularization approaches are used to deal with the probable small sample size problem. Extensive experiments are conducted on benchmark databases, and the results show superiority and efficiency of the new methods.
摘要:图像设置的识别已经广泛应用于如实时视频检索和图片标题任务的许多实际问题。由于其优越的性能,它已经发展成为一个显著的话题在最近几年。然而,利用复杂的变化,例如,姿势和人的年龄的图像,难以地址,因为这些变化是连续的和渐进的相对于图像的外观。因此,图像设定识别的关键的一点是挖掘从图像批次与变化的内在连接或结构信息。在这项工作中,判别残留分析(DRA)方法提出了提高通过发现在相关和不相关群体判别特征的分类性能。具体而言,DRA尝试获得一个强大的突起,该突起连铸残余表示为判别子空间。这样的投影子空间预期放大输入空间的有用的信息尽可能多地,那么训练集和由给定度量或距离描述的测试组之间的关系将在判别子空间更精确。我们还通过定义另一种方法来构造无关组,以减少这有助于进一步抽样误差的成本提出了不作为的策略。两个正规化的办法来对付可能的小样本问题。大量的实验是在基准数据库进行的,结果显示的新方法的优势和效率。

53. Visible Feature Guidance for Crowd Pedestrian Detection [PDF] 返回目录
  Zhida Huang, Kaiyu Yue, Jiangfan Deng, Feng Zhou
Abstract: Heavy occlusion and dense gathering in crowd scene make pedestrian detection become a challenging problem, because it's difficult to guess a precise full bounding box according to the invisible human part. To crack this nut, we propose a mechanism called Visible Feature Guidance (VFG) for both training and inference. During training, we adopt visible feature to regress the simultaneous outputs of visible bounding box and full bounding box. Then we perform NMS only on visible bounding boxes to achieve the best fitting full box in inference. This manner can alleviate the incapable influence brought by NMS in crowd scene and make full bounding box more precisely. Furthermore, in order to ease feature association in the post application process, such as pedestrian tracking, we apply Hungarian algorithm to associate parts for a human instance. Our proposed method can stably bring about 2~3% improvements in mAP and AP50 for both two-stage and one-stage detector. It's also more effective for MR-2 especially with the stricter IoU. Experiments on Crowdhuman, Cityperson, Caltech and KITTI datasets show that visible feature guidance can help detector achieve promisingly better performances. Moreover, parts association produces a strong benchmark on Crowdhuman for the vision community.

55. Matching Guided Distillation [PDF] 返回目录
  Kaiyu Yue, Jiangfan Deng, Feng Zhou
Abstract: Feature distillation is an effective way to improve the performance for a smaller student model, which has fewer parameters and lower computation cost compared to the larger teacher model. Unfortunately, there is a common obstacle - the gap in semantic feature structure between the intermediate features of teacher and student. The classic scheme prefers to transform intermediate features by adding the adaptation module, such as naive convolutional, attention-based or more complicated one. However, this introduces two problems: a) The adaptation module brings more parameters into training. b) The adaptation module with random initialization or special transformation isn't friendly for distilling a pre-trained student. In this paper, we present Matching Guided Distillation (MGD) as an efficient and parameter-free manner to solve these problems. The key idea of MGD is to pose matching the teacher channels with students' as an assignment problem. We compare three solutions of the assignment problem to reduce channels from teacher features with partial distillation loss. The overall training takes a coordinate-descent approach between two optimization objects - assignments update and parameters update. Since MGD only contains normalization or pooling operations with negligible computation cost, it is flexible to plug into network with other distillation methods.
摘要:特点蒸馏是改善较小的学生模型,相比有较大老师模型,该模型具有较少的参数和较低成本的计算性能的有效途径。不幸的是,有一个共同的障碍 - 教师和学生中间特征之间的语义特征结构的差距。经典的方案更喜欢通过将自适应模块,如幼稚卷积,基于注意机制的或更复杂的一个变换中间特性。然而,这引起两个问题:1)适配模块带来了更多的参数纳入培训。 b)用随机初始化或特殊改造的适配模块不是蒸馏预先训练的学生友好。在本文中,我们本匹配引导蒸馏(MGD),为有效和无参数的方式来解决这些问题。 MGD的核心思想是提出匹配与学生的教师频道作为分配问题。我们比较分配问题的三种解决方案,以减少与部分蒸馏损失老师特性渠道。总的培训有两个优化对象之间的坐标下降法 - 分配更新和参数更新。由于MGD只包含可忽略计算成本正常化或池操作,它是灵活插到网络与其它蒸馏法。

Abstract: Most previous few-shot learning algorithms are based on meta-training with fake few-shot tasks as training samples, where large labeled base classes are required. The trained model is also limited by the type of tasks. In this paper we propose a new paradigm of unsupervised few-shot learning to repair the deficiencies. We solve the few-shot tasks in two phases: meta-training a transferable feature extractor via contrastive self-supervised learning and training a classifier using graph aggregation, self-distillation and manifold augmentation. Once meta-trained, the model can be used in any type of tasks with a task-dependent classifier training. Our method achieves state of-the-art performance in a variety of established few-shot tasks on the standard few-shot visual classification datasets, with an 8- 28% increase compared to the available unsupervised few-shot learning methods.

  Vivek Roy, Yan Xu, Yu-Xiong Wang, Kris Kitani, Ruslan Salakhutdinov, Martial Hebert
Abstract: We consider the few-shot classification task with an unbalanced dataset, in which some classes have sufficient training samples while other classes only have limited training samples. Recent works have proposed to solve this task by augmenting the training data of the few-shot classes using generative models with the few-shot training samples as the seeds. However, due to the limited number of the few-shot seeds, the generated samples usually have small diversity, making it difficult to train a discriminative classifier for the few-shot classes. To enrich the diversity of the generated samples, we propose to leverage the intra-class knowledge from the neighbor many-shot classes with the intuition that neighbor classes share similar statistical information. Such intra-class information is obtained with a two-step mechanism. First, a regressor trained only on the many-shot classes is used to evaluate the few-shot class means from only a few samples. Second, superclasses are clustered, and the statistical mean and feature variance of each superclass are used as transferable knowledge inherited by the children few-shot classes. Such knowledge is then used by a generator to augment the sparse training data to help the downstream classification tasks. Extensive experiments show that our method achieves state-of-the-art across different datasets and $n$-shot settings.

  Hossein Kashiani, Amir Abbas Hamidi Imani, Shahriar Baradaran Shokouhi, Ahmad Ayatollahi
Abstract: Online learning policy makes visual trackers more robust against different distortions through learning domain-specific cues. However, the trackers adopting this policy fail to fully leverage the discriminative context of the background areas. Moreover, owing to the lack of sufficient data at each time step, the online learning approach can also make the trackers prone to over-fitting to the background regions. In this paper, we propose a domain adaptation approach to strengthen the contributions of the semantic background context. The domain adaptation approach is backboned with only an off-the-shelf deep model. The strength of the proposed approach comes from its discriminative ability to handle severe occlusion and background clutter challenges. We further introduce a cost-sensitive loss alleviating the dominance of non-semantic background candidates over the semantic candidates, thereby dealing with the data imbalance issue. Experimental results demonstrate that our tracker achieves competitive results at real-time speed compared to the state-of-the-art trackers.

Abstract: We propose a three-dimensional discrete and incremental scale to encode a method's level of supervision - i.e. the data and labels used when training a model to achieve a given performance. We capture three aspects of supervision, that are known to give methods an advantage while requiring additional costs: pre-training, training labels and training data. The proposed three-dimensional scale can be included in result tables or leaderboards to handily compare methods not only by their performance, but also by the level of data supervision utilised by each method. The Supervision Levels Scale (SLS) is first presented generally fo any task/dataset/challenge. It is then applied to the EPIC-KITCHENS-100 dataset, to be used for the various leaderboards and challenges associated with this dataset.

Abstract: We propose and demonstrate a novel machine learning algorithm that assesses pulmonary edema severity from chest radiographs. While large publicly available datasets of chest radiographs and free-text radiology reports exist, only limited numerical edema severity labels can be extracted from radiology reports. This is a significant challenge in learning such models for image classification. To take advantage of the rich information present in the radiology reports, we develop a neural network model that is trained on both images and free-text to assess pulmonary edema severity from chest radiographs at inference time. Our experimental results suggest that the joint image-text representation learning improves the performance of pulmonary edema assessment compared to a supervised model trained on images only. We also show the use of the text for explaining the image classification by the joint model. To the best of our knowledge, our approach is the first to leverage free-text radiology reports for improving the image model performance in this application. Our code is available at this https URL.

  Ujjal Kr Dutta, Mehrtash Harandi, Chellu Chandra Sekhar
Abstract: Metric learning is an important problem in machine learning. It aims to group similar examples together. Existing state-of-the-art metric learning approaches require class labels to learn a metric. As obtaining class labels in all applications is not feasible, we propose an unsupervised approach that learns a metric without making use of class labels. The lack of class labels is compensated by obtaining pseudo-labels of data using a graph-based clustering approach. The pseudo-labels are used to form triplets of examples, which guide the metric learning. We propose a probabilistic loss that minimizes the chances of each triplet violating an angular constraint. A weight function, and an orthogonality constraint in the objective speeds up the convergence and avoids a model collapse. We also provide a stochastic formulation of our method to scale up to large-scale datasets. Our studies demonstrate the competitiveness of our approach against state-of-the-art methods. We also thoroughly study the effect of the different components of our method.

Abstract: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has resulted in a pandemic crippling the a breadth of services critical to daily life. Segmentation of lung infections in computerized tomography (CT) slices could be be used to improve diagnosis and understanding of COVID-19 in patients. Deep learning systems lack interpretability because of their black box nature. Inspired by human communication of complex ideas through language, we propose a symbolic framework based on emergent languages for the segmentation of COVID-19 infections in CT scans of lungs. We model the cooperation between two artificial agents - a Sender and a Receiver. These agents synergistically cooperate using emergent symbolic language to solve the task of semantic segmentation. Our game theoretic approach is to model the cooperation between agents unlike Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). The Sender retrieves information from one of the higher layers of the deep network and generates a symbolic sentence sampled from a categorical distribution of vocabularies. The Receiver ingests the stream of symbols and cogenerates the segmentation mask. A private emergent language is developed that forms the communication channel used to describe the task of segmentation of COVID infections. We augment existing state of the art semantic segmentation architectures with our symbolic generator to form symbolic segmentation models. Our symbolic segmentation framework achieves state of the art performance for segmentation of lung infections caused by COVID-19. Our results show direct interpretation of symbolic sentences to discriminate between normal and infected regions, infection morphology and image characteristics. We show state of the art results for segmentation of COVID-19 lung infections in CT.

Abstract: Modern deep learning systems for medical image classification have demonstrated exceptional capabilities for distinguishing between image based medical categories. However, they are severely hindered by their ina-bility to explain the reasoning behind their decision making. This is partly due to the uninterpretable continuous latent representations of neural net-works. Emergent languages (EL) have recently been shown to enhance the capabilities of neural networks by equipping them with symbolic represen-tations in the framework of referential games. Symbolic representations are one of the cornerstones of highly explainable good old fashioned AI (GOFAI) systems. In this work, we demonstrate for the first time, the emer-gence of deep symbolic representations of emergent language in the frame-work of image classification.

  Alex Falcon, Oswald Lanz, Giuseppe Serra
Abstract: Video Question Answering (VideoQA) is a task that requires a model to analyze and understand both the visual content given by the input video and the textual part given by the question, and the interaction between them in order to produce a meaningful answer. In our work we focus on the Egocentric VideoQA task, which exploits first-person videos, because of the importance of such task which can have impact on many different fields, such as those pertaining the social assistance and the industrial training. Recently, an Egocentric VideoQA dataset, called EgoVQA, has been released. Given its small size, models tend to overfit quickly. To alleviate this problem, we propose several augmentation techniques which give us a +5.5% improvement on the final accuracy over the considered baseline.

66. Revisiting Anchor Mechanisms for Temporal Action Localization [PDF] 返回目录
  Le Yang, Houwen Peng, Dingwen Zhang, Jianlong Fu, Junwei Han
Abstract: Most of the current action localization methods follow an anchor-based pipeline: depicting action instances by pre-defined anchors, learning to select the anchors closest to the ground truth, and predicting the confidence of anchors with refinements. Pre-defined anchors set prior about the location and duration for action instances, which facilitates the localization for common action instances but limits the flexibility for tackling action instances with drastic varieties, especially for extremely short or extremely long ones. To address this problem, this paper proposes a novel anchor-free action localization module that assists action localization by temporal points. Specifically, this module represents an action instance as a point with its distances to the starting boundary and ending boundary, alleviating the pre-defined anchor restrictions in terms of action localization and duration. The proposed anchor-free module is capable of predicting the action instances whose duration is either extremely short or extremely long. By combining the proposed anchor-free module with a conventional anchor-based module, we propose a novel action localization framework, called A2Net. The cooperation between anchor-free and anchor-based modules achieves superior performance to the state-of-the-art on THUMOS14 (45.5% vs. 42.8%). Furthermore, comprehensive experiments demonstrate the complementarity between the anchor-free and the anchor-based module, making A2Net simple but effective.

  Filipa Valdeira, Ricardo Ferreira, Alessandra Micheletti, Cláudia Soares
Abstract: Ears are a particularly difficult region of the human face to model, not only due to the non-rigid deformations existing between shapes but also to the challenges in processing the retrieved data. The first step towards obtaining a good model is to have complete scans in correspondence, but these usually present a higher amount of occlusions, noise and outliers when compared to most face regions, thus requiring a specific procedure. Therefore, we propose a complete pipeline taking as input unordered 3D point clouds with the aforementioned problems, and producing as output a dataset in correspondence, with completion of the missing data. We provide a comparison of several state-of-the-art registration methods and propose a new approach for one of the steps of the pipeline, with better performance for our data.

68. Memory-based Jitter: Improving Visual Recognition on Long-tailed Data with Diversity In Memory [PDF] 返回目录
  Jialun Liu, Jingwei Zhang, Wenhui Li, Chi Zhang, Yifan Sun
Abstract: This paper considers deep visual recognition on long-tailed data, with the majority categories only occupying relatively few samples. The tail categories are prone to lack of within-class diversity, which compromises the representative ability of the learned visual concepts. A radical solution is to augment the tail categories with higher diversity. To this end, we introduce a simple and reliable method named Memory-based Jitter (MBJ) to gain extra diversity for the tail data. We observe that the deep model keeps on jittering from one historical edition to another, even when it already approaches convergence. The ``jitter'' means the small variations between historical models. We argue that such jitter largely originates from the within-class diversity of the overall data and thus encodes the within-class distribution pattern. To utilize such jitter for tail data augmentation, we store the jitter among historical models into a memory bank and get the so-called Memory-based Jitter. With slight modifications, MBJ is applicable for two fundamental visual recognition tasks, \emph{i.e.}, image classification and deep metric learning (on long-tailed data). On image classification, MBJ collects the historical embeddings to learn an accurate classifier. In contrast, on deep metric learning, it collects the historical prototypes of each class to learn a robust deep embedding. Under both scenarios, MBJ enforces higher concentration on tail classes, so as to compensate for their lack of diversity. Extensive experiments on three long-tailed classification benchmarks and two deep metric learning benchmarks (person re-identification, in particular) demonstrate the significant improvement. Moreover, the achieved performance are on par with the state-of-the-art on both tasks.

69. Identity-Aware Multi-Sentence Video Description [PDF] 返回目录
  Jae Sung Park, Trevor Darrell, Anna Rohrbach
Abstract: Standard video and movie description tasks abstract away from person identities, thus failing to link identities across sentences. We propose a multi-sentence Identity-Aware Video Description task, which overcomes this limitation and requires to re-identify persons locally within a set of consecutive clips. We introduce an auxiliary task of Fill-in the Identity, that aims to predict persons' IDs consistently within a set of clips, when the video descriptions are given. Our proposed approach to this task leverages a Transformer architecture allowing for coherent joint prediction of multiple IDs. One of the key components is a gender-aware textual representation as well an additional gender prediction objective in the main model. This auxiliary task allows us to propose a two-stage approach to Identity-Aware Video Description. We first generate multi-sentence video descriptions, and then apply our Fill-in the Identity model to establish links between the predicted person entities. To be able to tackle both tasks, we augment the Large Scale Movie Description Challenge (LSMDC) benchmark with new annotations suited for our problem statement. Experiments show that our proposed Fill-in the Identity model is superior to several baselines and recent works, and allows us to generate descriptions with locally re-identified people.

  Hung-Min Hsu, Yizhou Wang, Jenq-Neng Hwang
Abstract: Multi-target multi-camera tracking (MTMCT), i.e., tracking multiple targets across multiple cameras, is a crucial technique for smart city applications. In this paper, we propose an effective and reliable MTMCT framework for vehicles, which consists of a traffic-aware single camera tracking (TSCT) algorithm, a trajectory-based camera link model (CLM) for vehicle re-identification (ReID), and a hierarchical clustering algorithm to obtain the cross camera vehicle trajectories. First, the TSCT, which jointly considers vehicle appearance, geometric features, and some common traffic scenarios, is proposed to track the vehicles in each camera separately. Second, the trajectory-based CLM is adopted to facilitate the relationship between each pair of adjacently connected cameras and add spatio-temporal constraints for the subsequent vehicle ReID with temporal attention. Third, the hierarchical clustering algorithm is used to merge the vehicle trajectories among all the cameras to obtain the final MTMCT results. Our proposed MTMCT is evaluated on the CityFlow dataset and achieves a new state-of-the-art performance with IDF1 of 74.93%.

71. Chest Area Segmentation in Depth Images of Sleeping Patients [PDF] 返回目录
  Yoav Goldstein, Martin Schätz, Mireille Avigal
Abstract: Although the field of sleep study has greatly developed over the recent years, the most common and efficient way to detect sleep issues remains a sleep examination performed in a sleep laboratory, in a procedure called Polysomnography (PSG). This examination measures several vital signals during a full night's sleep using multiple sensors connected to the patient's body. Yet, despite being the golden standard, the connection of the sensors and the unfamiliar environment inevitably impact the quality of the patient's sleep and the examination itself. Therefore, with the novel development of more accurate and affordable 3D sensing devices, new approaches for non-contact sleep study emerged. These methods utilize different techniques with the purpose to extract the same sleep parameters, but remotely, eliminating the need of any physical connections to the patient's body. However, in order to enable reliable remote extraction, these methods require accurate identification of the basic Region of Interest (ROI) i.e. the chest area of the patient, a task that is currently holding back the development process, as it is performed manually for each patient. In this study, we propose an automatic chest area segmentation algorithm, that given an input set of 3D frames of a sleeping patient, outputs a segmentation image with the pixels that correspond to the chest area, and can then be used as an input to subsequent sleep analysis algorithms. Except for significantly speeding up the development process of the non-contact methods, accurate automatic segmentation can also enable a more precise feature extraction and it is shown it is already improving sensitivity of prior solutions on average 46.9% better compared to manual ROI selection. All mentioned will place the extraction algorithms of the non-contact methods as a leading candidate to replace the existing traditional methods used today.

  Yi Zhou, Boyang Wang, Shanshan Cui, Ling Shao
Abstract: People with diabetes are at risk of developing an eye disease called diabetic retinopathy (DR). This disease occurs when high blood glucose levels cause damage to blood vessels in the retina. Computer-aided DR diagnosis is a promising tool for early detection of DR and severity grading, due to the great success of deep learning. However, most current DR diagnosis systems do not achieve satisfactory performance or interpretability for ophthalmologists, due to the lack of training data with consistent and fine-grained annotations. To address this problem, we construct a large-scale fine-grained annotated DR dataset containing 2,842 images (FGADR). This dataset has 1,842 images with pixel-level DR-related lesion annotations, and 1,000 images with image-level labels graded by six board-certified ophthalmologists with intra-rater consistency. The proposed dataset will enable extensive studies on DR diagnosis. We set up three benchmark tasks for evaluation: 1. DR lesion segmentation; 2. DR grading by joint classification and segmentation; 3. Transfer learning for ocular multi-disease identification. Moreover, a novel inductive transfer learning method is introduced for the third task. Extensive experiments using different state-of-the-art methods are conducted on our FGADR dataset, which can serve as baselines for future research.

  Yi-Si Luo, Xi-Le Zhao, Tai-Xiang Jiang, Yu-Bang Zheng, Yi Chang
Abstract: Hyperspectral images (HSIs) are unavoidably corrupted by mixed noise which hinders the subsequent applications. Traditional methods exploit the structure of the HSI via optimization-based models for denoising, while their capacity is inferior to the convolutional neural network (CNN)-based methods, which supervisedly learn the noisy-to-denoised mapping from a large amount of data. However, as the clean-noisy pairs of hyperspectral data are always unavailable in many applications, it is eager to build an unsupervised HSI denoising method with high model capability. To remove the mixed noise in HSIs, we suggest the spatial-spectral constrained deep image prior (S2DIP), which simultaneously capitalize the high model representation ability brought by the CNN in an unsupervised manner and does not need any extra training data. Specifically, we employ the separable 3D convolution blocks to faithfully encode the HSI in the framework of DIP, and a spatial-spectral total variation (SSTV) term is tailored to explore the spatial-spectral smoothness of HSIs. Moreover, our method favorably addresses the semi-convergence behavior of prevailing unsupervised methods, e.g., DIP 2D, and DIP 3D. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art optimization-based HSI denoising methods in terms of effectiveness and robustness.

74. Multidomain Multimodal Fusion For Human Action Recognition Using Inertial Sensors [PDF] 返回目录
  Zeeshan Ahmad, Naimul Khan
Abstract: One of the major reasons for misclassification of multiplex actions during action recognition is the unavailability of complementary features that provide the semantic information about the actions. In different domains these features are present with different scales and intensities. In existing literature, features are extracted independently in different domains, but the benefits from fusing these multidomain features are not realized. To address this challenge and to extract complete set of complementary information, in this paper, we propose a novel multidomain multimodal fusion framework that extracts complementary and distinct features from different domains of the input modality. We transform input inertial data into signal images, and then make the input modality multidomain and multimodal by transforming spatial domain information into frequency and time-spectrum domain using Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) and Gabor wavelet transform (GWT) respectively. Features in different domains are extracted by Convolutional Neural networks (CNNs) and then fused by Canonical Correlation based Fusion (CCF) for improving the accuracy of human action recognition. Experimental results on three inertial datasets show the superiority of the proposed method when compared to the state-of-the-art.

  Zeeshan Ahmad, Naimul Khan
Abstract: This paper attempts at improving the accuracy of Human Action Recognition (HAR) by fusion of depth and inertial sensor data. Firstly, we transform the depth data into Sequential Front view Images(SFI) and fine-tune the pre-trained AlexNet on these images. Then, inertial data is converted into Signal Images (SI) and another convolutional neural network (CNN) is trained on these images. Finally, learned features are extracted from both CNN, fused together to make a shared feature layer, and these features are fed to the classifier. We experiment with two classifiers, namely Support Vector Machines (SVM) and softmax classifier and compare their performances. The recognition accuracies of each modality, depth data alone and sensor data alone are also calculated and compared with fusion based accuracies to highlight the fact that fusion of modalities yields better results than individual modalities. Experimental results on UTD-MHAD and Kinect 2D datasets show that proposed method achieves state of the art results when compared to other recently proposed visual-inertial action recognition methods.

  Guanghao Yin, Shouqian Sun, Dian Yu, Kejun Zhang
Abstract: Considerable attention has been paid for physiological signal-based emotion recognition in field of affective computing. For the reliability and user friendly acquisition, Electrodermal Activity (EDA) has great advantage in practical applications. However, the EDA-based emotion recognition with hundreds of subjects still lacks effective solution. In this paper, our work makes an attempt to fuse the subject individual EDA features and the external evoked music features. And we propose an end-to-end multimodal framework, the 1-dimensional residual temporal and channel attention network (RTCAN-1D). For EDA features, the novel convex optimization-based EDA (CvxEDA) method is applied to decompose EDA signals into pahsic and tonic signals for mining the dynamic and steady features. The channel-temporal attention mechanism for EDA-based emotion recognition is firstly involved to improve the temporal- and channel-wise representation. For music features, we process the music signal with the open source toolkit openSMILE to obtain external feature vectors. The individual emotion features from EDA signals and external emotion benchmarks from music are fused in the classifing layers. We have conducted systematic comparisons on three multimodal datasets (PMEmo, DEAP, AMIGOS) for 2-classes valance/arousal emotion recognition. Our proposed RTCAN-1D outperforms the existing state-of-the-art models, which also validate that our work provides an reliable and efficient solution for large scale emotion recognition.

77. PNEN: Pyramid Non-Local Enhanced Networks [PDF] 返回目录
  Feida Zhu, Chaowei Fang, Kai-Kuang Ma
Abstract: Existing neural networks proposed for low-level image processing tasks are usually implemented by stacking convolution layers with limited kernel size. Every convolution layer merely involves in context information from a small local neighborhood. More contextual features can be explored as more convolution layers are adopted. However it is difficult and costly to take full advantage of long-range dependencies. We propose a novel non-local module, Pyramid Non-local Block, to build up connection between every pixel and all remain pixels. The proposed module is capable of efficiently exploiting pairwise dependencies between different scales of low-level structures. The target is fulfilled through first learning a query feature map with full resolution and a pyramid of reference feature maps with downscaled resolutions. Then correlations with multi-scale reference features are exploited for enhancing pixel-level feature representation. The calculation procedure is economical considering memory consumption and computational cost. Based on the proposed module, we devise a Pyramid Non-local Enhanced Networks for edge-preserving image smoothing which achieves state-of-the-art performance in imitating three classical image smoothing algorithms. Additionally, the pyramid non-local block can be directly incorporated into convolution neural networks for other image restoration tasks. We integrate it into two existing methods for image denoising and single image super-resolution, achieving consistently improved performance.

  Bowen Chen, Huan Ling, Xiaohui Zeng, Gao Jun, Ziyue Xu, Sanja Fidler
Abstract: Manually labeling video datasets for segmentation tasks is extremely time consuming. In this paper, we introduce ScribbleBox, a novel interactive framework for annotating object instances with masks in videos. In particular, we split annotation into two steps: annotating objects with tracked boxes, and labeling masks inside these tracks. We introduce automation and interaction in both steps. Box tracks are annotated efficiently by approximating the trajectory using a parametric curve with a small number of control points which the annotator can interactively correct. Our approach tolerates a modest amount of noise in the box placements, thus typically only a few clicks are needed to annotate tracked boxes to a sufficient accuracy. Segmentation masks are corrected via scribbles which are efficiently propagated through time. We show significant performance gains in annotation efficiency over past work. We show that our ScribbleBox approach reaches 88.92% J&F on DAVIS2017 with 9.14 clicks per box track, and 4 frames of scribble annotation.

  Long Chen, Zheheng Jiang, Lei Tong, Zhihua Liu, Aite Zhao, Qianni Zhang, Junyu Dong, Huiyu Zhou
Abstract: Underwater image enhancement, as a pre-processing step to improve the accuracy of the following object detection task, has drawn considerable attention in the field of underwater navigation and ocean exploration. However, most of the existing underwater image enhancement strategies tend to consider enhancement and detection as two independent modules with no interaction, and the practice of separate optimization does not always help the underwater object detection task. In this paper, we propose two perceptual enhancement models, each of which uses a deep enhancement model with a detection perceptor. The detection perceptor provides coherent information in the form of gradients to the enhancement model, guiding the enhancement model to generate patch level visually pleasing images or detection favourable images. In addition, due to the lack of training data, a hybrid underwater image synthesis model, which fuses physical priors and data-driven cues, is proposed to synthesize training data and generalise our enhancement model for real-world underwater images. Experimental results show the superiority of our proposed method over several state-of-the-art methods on both real-world and synthetic underwater datasets.

  Carlo Biffi, Steven McDonagh, Philip Torr, Ales Leonardis, Sarah Parisot
Abstract: Annotating such datasets is highly time consuming and expensive, which motivates the development of weakly supervised and few-shot object detection methods. However, these methods largely underperform with respect to their strongly supervised counterpart, as weak training signals \emph{often} result in partial or oversized detections. Towards solving this problem we introduce, for the first time, an online annotation module (OAM) that learns to generate a many-shot set of \emph{reliable} annotations from a larger volume of weakly labelled images. Our OAM can be jointly trained with any fully supervised two-stage object detection method, providing additional training annotations on the fly. This results in a fully end-to-end strategy that only requires a low-shot set of fully annotated images. The integration of the OAM with Fast(er) R-CNN improves their performance by $17\%$ mAP, $9\%$ AP50 on PASCAL VOC 2007 and MS-COCO benchmarks, and significantly outperforms competing methods using mixed supervision.

  Xi Wang, Zoya Bylinskii, Aaron Hertzmann, Robert Pepperell
Abstract: It has long been hypothesized that perceptual ambiguities play an important role in aesthetic experience: a work with some ambiguity engages a viewer more than one that does not. However, current frameworks for testing this theory are limited by the availability of stimuli and data collection methods. This paper presents an approach to measuring the perceptual ambiguity of a collection of images. Crowdworkers are asked to describe image content, after different viewing durations. Experiments are performed using images created with Generative Adversarial Networks, using the Artbreeder website. We show that text processing of viewer responses can provide a fine-grained way to measure and describe image ambiguities.

Abstract: In this paper, a multi-modal 360$^{\circ}$ framework for 3D object detection and tracking for autonomous vehicles is presented. The process is divided into four main stages. First, images are fed into a CNN network to obtain instance segmentation of the surrounding road participants. Second, LiDAR-to-image association is performed for the estimated mask proposals. Then, the isolated points of every object are processed by a PointNet ensemble to compute their corresponding 3D bounding boxes and poses. Lastly, a tracking stage based on Unscented Kalman Filter is used to track the agents along time. The solution, based on a novel sensor fusion configuration, provides accurate and reliable road environment detection. A wide variety of tests of the system, deployed in an autonomous vehicle, have successfully assessed the suitability of the proposed perception stack in a real autonomous driving application.

  Jonathan W. Siegel, Jianhong Chen, Jinchao Xu
Abstract: Pruning the weights of neural networks is an effective and widely-used technique for reducing model size and inference complexity. We develop and test a novel method based on compressed sensing which combines the pruning and training into a single step. Specifically, we utilize an adaptively weighted $\ell^1$ penalty on the weights during training, which we combine with a generalization of the regularized dual averaging (RDA) algorithm in order to train sparse neural networks. The adaptive weighting we introduce corresponds to a novel regularizer based on the logarithm of the absolute value of the weights. Numerical experiments on the CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100 datasets demonstrate that our method 1) trains sparser, more accurate networks than existing state-of-the-art methods; 2) can also be used effectively to obtain structured sparsity; 3) can be used to train sparse networks from scratch, i.e. from a random initialization, as opposed to initializing with a well-trained base model; 4) acts as an effective regularizer, improving generalization accuracy.

Abstract: We build a new model of landscape videos that can be trained on a mixture of static landscape images as well as landscape animations. Our architecture extends StyleGAN model by augmenting it with parts that allow to model dynamic changes in a scene. Once trained, our model can be used to generate realistic time-lapse landscape videos with moving objects and time-of-the-day changes. Furthermore, by fitting the learned models to a static landscape image, the latter can be reenacted in a realistic way. We propose simple but necessary modifications to StyleGAN inversion procedure, which lead to in-domain latent codes and allow to manipulate real images. Quantitative comparisons and user studies suggest that our model produces more compelling animations of given photographs than previously proposed methods. The results of our approach including comparisons with prior art can be seen in supplementary materials and on the project page this https URL

85. Semantic Segmentation and Data Fusion of Microsoft Bing 3D Cities and Small UAV-based Photogrammetric Data [PDF] 返回目录
  Meida Chen, Andrew Feng, Kyle McCullough, Pratusha Bhuvana Prasad, Ryan McAlinden, Lucio Soibelman
Abstract: With state-of-the-art sensing and photogrammetric techniques, Microsoft Bing Maps team has created over 125 highly detailed 3D cities from 11 different countries that cover hundreds of thousands of square kilometer areas. The 3D city models were created using the photogrammetric technique with high-resolution images that were captured from aircraft-mounted cameras. Such a large 3D city database has caught the attention of the US Army for creating virtual simulation environments to support military operations. However, the 3D city models do not have semantic information such as buildings, vegetation, and ground and cannot allow sophisticated user-level and system-level interaction. At I/ITSEC 2019, the authors presented a fully automated data segmentation and object information extraction framework for creating simulation terrain using UAV-based photogrammetric data. This paper discusses the next steps in extending our designed data segmentation framework for segmenting 3D city data. In this study, the authors first investigated the strengths and limitations of the existing framework when applied to the Bing data. The main differences between UAV-based and aircraft-based photogrammetric data are highlighted. The data quality issues in the aircraft-based photogrammetric data, which can negatively affect the segmentation performance, are identified. Based on the findings, a workflow was designed specifically for segmenting Bing data while considering its characteristics. In addition, since the ultimate goal is to combine the use of both small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) collected data and the Bing data in a virtual simulation environment, data from these two sources needed to be aligned and registered together. To this end, the authors also proposed a data registration workflow that utilized the traditional iterative closest point (ICP) with the extracted semantic information.
摘要:随着国家的最先进的传感和摄影技术,微软Bing地图团队已经创造了超过125高度详细的3D城市来自11个不同国家的覆盖数十万平方公里的地区。该三维城市模型采用与从拍摄高分辨率图像的摄影技术创造了机载相机。这么大的城市三维数据库已经引起了美国军方的注意,用于创建虚拟仿真环境来支持军事行动。然而,三维城市模型没有语义信息,如建筑物,植被,地面,不能让复杂的用户级和系统级的交互。在I / ITSEC 2019中,作者提出了用于创建使用基于UAV-摄影数据模拟地形一个完全自动化的数据分割和对象信息提取框架。本文讨论了扩大我们设计的数据分割框架分割三维城市数据的下一步骤。在这项研究中,当应用到必应的数据,作者首先研究了现有框架的优势和局限性。基于飞机无人机为基础的摄影数据之间的主要区别是突出。在基于飞机的摄影数据,可以分割性能产生负面影响的数据质量问题,被识别。基于这些发现,一个工作流被用于分割秉数据,同时考虑其特性而设计的。另外,由于最终目标是同时使用小无人驾驶飞行器(UAV)收集的数据和在虚拟仿真环境的秉数据的组合,从需要这两个源的数据被对准并且一起登记。为此,作者还建议的工作流程,与所提取的语义信息利用传统的迭代最近点(ICP)一个数据登记。

  Meida Chen, Andrew Feng, Kyle McCullough, Pratusha Bhuvana Prasad, Ryan McAlinden, Lucio Soibelman
Abstract: At I/ITSEC 2019, the authors presented a fully-automated workflow to segment 3D photogrammetric point-clouds/meshes and extract object information, including individual tree locations and ground materials (Chen et al., 2019). The ultimate goal is to create realistic virtual environments and provide the necessary information for simulation. We tested the generalizability of the previously proposed framework using a database created under the U.S. Army's One World Terrain (OWT) project with a variety of landscapes (i.e., various buildings styles, types of vegetation, and urban density) and different data qualities (i.e., flight altitudes and overlap between images). Although the database is considerably larger than existing databases, it remains unknown whether deep-learning algorithms have truly achieved their full potential in terms of accuracy, as sizable data sets for training and validation are currently lacking. Obtaining large annotated 3D point-cloud databases is time-consuming and labor-intensive, not only from a data annotation perspective in which the data must be manually labeled by well-trained personnel, but also from a raw data collection and processing perspective. Furthermore, it is generally difficult for segmentation models to differentiate objects, such as buildings and tree masses, and these types of scenarios do not always exist in the collected data set. Thus, the objective of this study is to investigate using synthetic photogrammetric data to substitute real-world data in training deep-learning algorithms. We have investigated methods for generating synthetic UAV-based photogrammetric data to provide a sufficiently sized database for training a deep-learning algorithm with the ability to enlarge the data size for scenarios in which deep-learning models have difficulties.

Abstract: Deep learning has recently started being applied to visual tracking of generic objects in video streams. For the purposes of robotics applications, it is very important for a target tracker to recover its track if it is lost due to heavy or prolonged occlusions or motion blur of the target. We present a real-time approach which fuses a generic target tracker and object detection module with a target re-identification module. Our work focuses on improving the performance of Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network-based object trackers in cases where the object of interest belongs to the category of \emph{familiar} objects. Our proposed approach is sufficiently lightweight to track objects at 85-90 FPS while attaining competitive results on challenging benchmarks.

88. Orderly Disorder in Point Cloud Domain [PDF] 返回目录
  Morteza Ghahremani, Bernard Tiddeman, Yonghuai Liu, Ardhendu Behera
Abstract: In the real world, out-of-distribution samples, noise and distortions exist in test data. Existing deep networks developed for point cloud data analysis are prone to overfitting and a partial change in test data leads to unpredictable behaviour of the networks. In this paper, we propose a smart yet simple deep network for analysis of 3D models using `orderly disorder' theory. Orderly disorder is a way of describing the complex structure of disorders within complex systems. Our method extracts the deep patterns inside a 3D object via creating a dynamic link to seek the most stable patterns and at once, throws away the unstable ones. Patterns are more robust to changes in data distribution, especially those that appear in the top layers. Features are extracted via an innovative cloning decomposition technique and then linked to each other to form stable complex patterns. Our model alleviates the vanishing-gradient problem, strengthens dynamic link propagation and substantially reduces the number of parameters. Extensive experiments on challenging benchmark datasets verify the superiority of our light network on the segmentation and classification tasks, especially in the presence of noise wherein our network's performance drops less than 10% while the state-of-the-art networks fail to work.

  Changan Chen, Sagnik Majumder, Ziad Al-Halah, Ruohan Gao, Santhosh Kumar Ramakrishnan, Kristen Grauman
Abstract: In audio-visual navigation, an agent intelligently travels through a complex, unmapped 3D environment using both sights and sounds to find a sound source (e.g., a phone ringing in another room). Existing models learn to act at a fixed granularity of agent motion and rely on simple recurrent aggregations of the audio observations. We introduce a reinforcement learning approach to audio-visual navigation with two key novel elements 1) audio-visual waypoints that are dynamically set and learned end-to-end within the navigation policy, and 2) an acoustic memory that provides a structured, spatially grounded record of what the agent has heard as it moves. Both new ideas capitalize on the synergy of audio and visual data for revealing the geometry of an unmapped space. We demonstrate our approach on the challenging Replica environments of real-world 3D scenes. Our model improves the state of the art by a substantial margin, and our experiments reveal that learning the links between sights, sounds, and space is essential for audio-visual navigation.

  Seontake Oh, Ji-Hwan You, Azim Eskandarian, Young-Keun Kim
Abstract: A misalignment of LiDAR as low as a few degrees could cause a significant error in obstacle detection and mapping that could cause safety and quality issues. In this paper, an accurate inspection system is proposed for estimating a LiDAR alignment error after sensor attachment on a mobility system such as a vehicle or robot. The proposed method uses only a single target board at the fixed position to estimate the three orientations (roll, tilt, and yaw) and the horizontal position of the LiDAR attachment with sub-degree and millimeter level accuracy. After the proposed preprocessing steps, the feature beam points that are the closest to each target corner are extracted and used to calculate the sensor attachment pose with respect to the target board frame using a nonlinear optimization method and with a low computational cost. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated using a test bench that can control the reference yaw and horizontal translation of LiDAR within ranges of 3 degrees and 30 millimeters, respectively. The experimental results for a low-resolution 16 channel LiDAR (Velodyne VLP-16) confirmed that misalignment could be estimated with accuracy within 0.2 degrees and 4 mm. The high accuracy and simplicity of the proposed system make it practical for large-scale industrial applications such as automobile or robot manufacturing process that inspects the sensor attachment for the safety quality control.

Abstract: This paper presents a novel automatic calibration system to estimate the extrinsic parameters of LiDAR mounted on a mobile platform for sensor misalignment inspection in the large-scale production of highly automated vehicles. To obtain subdegree and subcentimeter accuracy levels of extrinsic calibration, this study proposed a new concept of a target board with embedded photodetector arrays, named the PD-target system, to find the precise position of the correspondence laser beams on the target surface. Furthermore, the proposed system requires only the simple design of the target board at the fixed pose in a close range to be readily applicable in the automobile manufacturing environment. The experimental evaluation of the proposed system on low-resolution LiDAR showed that the LiDAR offset pose can be estimated within 0.1 degree and 3 mm levels of precision. The high accuracy and simplicity of the proposed calibration system make it practical for large-scale applications for the reliability and safety of autonomous systems.

Abstract: In this work, we present a novel neural network to generate high resolution images. We replace the decoder of VAE with a discriminator while using the encoder as it is. The encoder uses data from a normal distribution while the generator from a gaussian distribution. The combination from both is given to a discriminator which tells whether the generated images are correct or not. We evaluate our network on 3 different datasets: MNIST, LSUN and CelebA-HQ dataset. Our network beats the previous state of the art using MMD, SSIM, log likelihood, reconstruction error, ELBO and KL divergence as the evaluation metrics while generating much sharper images. This work is potentially very exciting as we are able to combine the advantages of generative models and inference models in a principled bayesian manner.

  Shoma Iwai, Tomo Miyazaki, Yoshihiro Sugaya, Shinichiro Omachi
Abstract: We propose a GAN-based image compression method working at extremely low bitrates below 0.1bpp. Most existing learned image compression methods suffer from blur at extremely low bitrates. Although GAN can help to reconstruct sharp images, there are two drawbacks. First, GAN makes training unstable. Second, the reconstructions often contain unpleasing noise or artifacts. To address both of the drawbacks, our method adopts two-stage training and network interpolation. The two-stage training is effective to stabilize the training. Moreover, the network interpolation utilizes the models in both stages and reduces undesirable noise and artifacts, while maintaining important edges. Hence, we can control the trade-off between perceptual quality and fidelity without re-training models. The experimental results show that our model can reconstruct high quality images. Furthermore, our user study confirms that our reconstructions are preferable to state-of-the-art GAN-based image compression model. The code will be available.

Abstract: The widespread use of Deep Learning (DL) applications in science and industry has created a large demand for efficient inference systems. This has resulted in a rapid increase of available Hardware Accelerators (HWAs) making comparison challenging and laborious. To address this, several DL hardware benchmarks have been proposed aiming at a comprehensive comparison for many models, tasks, and hardware platforms. Here, we present our DL hardware benchmark which has been specifically developed for inference on embedded HWAs and tasks required for autonomous driving. In addition to previous benchmarks, we propose a new granularity level to evaluate common submodules of DL models, a twofold benchmark procedure that accounts for hardware and model optimizations done by HWA manufacturers, and an extended set of performance indicators that can help to identify a mismatch between a HWA and the DL models used in our benchmark.

  Youwei Liang, Dong Huang, Chang-Dong Wang, Philip S. Yu
Abstract: Graph learning has emerged as a promising technique for multi-view clustering with its ability to learn a unified and robust graph from multiple views. However, existing graph learning methods mostly focus on the multi-view consistency issue, yet often neglect the inconsistency across multiple views, which makes them vulnerable to possibly low-quality or noisy datasets. To overcome this limitation, we propose a new multi-view graph learning framework, which for the first time simultaneously and explicitly models multi-view consistency and multi-view inconsistency in a unified objective function, through which the consistent and inconsistent parts of each single-view graph as well as the unified graph that fuses the consistent parts can be iteratively learned. Though optimizing the objective function is NP-hard, we design a highly efficient optimization algorithm which is able to obtain an approximate solution with linear time complexity in the number of edges in the unified graph. Furthermore, our multi-view graph learning approach can be applied to both similarity graphs and dissimilarity graphs, which lead to two graph fusion-based variants in our framework. Experiments on twelve multi-view datasets have demonstrated the robustness and efficiency of the proposed approach.

Modern techniques for inducing sparsity in neural networks are (1) network pruning, a procedure involving iteratively training a model initialized with a previous run's weights and hard thresholding, (2) training in one-stage with a sparsity inducing penalty (usually based on the Lasso), and (3) training a binary mask jointly with the weights of the network. In this work, we study different sparsity inducing penalties from the perspective of Bayesian hierarchical models with the goal of designing penalties which perform well without retraining subnetworks in isolation. With this motivation, we present a novel penalty called Hierarchical Adaptive Lasso (HALO) which learns to adaptively sparsify weights of a given network via trainable parameters without learning a mask. When used to train over-parametrized networks, our penalty yields small subnetworks with high accuracy (winning tickets) even when the subnetworks are not trained in isolation. Empirically, on the CIFAR-100 dataset, we find that HALO is able to learn highly sparse network (only $5\%$ of the parameters) with approximately a $2\%$ and $4\%$ gain in performance over state-of-the-art magnitude pruning methods at the same level of sparsity.

Abstract: Unsupervised domain adaptation is effective in leveraging rich information from a labeled source domain to an unlabeled target domain. Though deep learning and adversarial strategy made a significant breakthrough in the adaptability of features, there are two issues to be further studied. First, hard-assigned pseudo labels on the target domain are arbitrary and error-prone, and direct application of them may destroy the intrinsic data structure. Second, batch-wise training of deep learning limits the characterization of the global structure. In this paper, a Riemannian manifold learning framework is proposed to achieve transferability and discriminability simultaneously. For the first issue, this framework establishes a probabilistic discriminant criterion on the target domain via soft labels. Based on pre-built prototypes, this criterion is extended to a global approximation scheme for the second issue. Manifold metric alignment is adopted to be compatible with the embedding space. The theoretical error bounds of different alignment metrics are derived for constructive guidance. The proposed method can be used to tackle a series of variants of domain adaptation problems, including both vanilla and partial settings. Extensive experiments have been conducted to investigate the method and a comparative study shows the superiority of the discriminative manifold learning framework.
摘要:无监督域的适应是有效的利用来自标记的源域信息丰富到未标记的目标域。虽然深学习和对抗性的策略取得了功能适应性一个显著的突破,有两个问题有待进一步研究。首先,在目标域硬分配伪标签是他们的任意且容易出错,并且直接应用可能会破坏内部数据结构。其次,深度学习的间歇训练限制了全局结构的表征。在本文中,黎曼流形学习框架,提出了同时实现可转让性和识别性。对于第一个问题,这个框架建立在通过软标签的目标域概率判别标准。基于预先建立的原型,这个标准扩展到了第二个问题,一个全球性的近似方案。歧管指标比对采用与嵌入空间兼容。不同对准指标的理论误差界限得出建设性的指导意见。所提出的方法可以用于解决一系列域的适应的问题,包括香草和部分设置的变体。大量的实验已经进行,调查方法和比较研究显示了辨别流形学习框架的优越性。

Abstract: Weight quantization for deep ConvNets has shown promising results for applications such as image classification and semantic segmentation and is especially important for applications where memory storage is limited. However, when aiming for quantization without accuracy degradation, different tasks may end up with different bitwidths. This creates complexity for software and hardware support and the complexity accumulates when one considers mixed-precision quantization, in which case each layer's weights use a different bitwidth. Our key insight is that optimizing for the least bitwidth subject to no accuracy degradation is not necessarily an optimal strategy. This is because one cannot decide optimality between two bitwidths if one has a smaller model size while the other has better accuracy. In this work, we take the first step to understand if some weight bitwidth is better than others by aligning all to the same model size using a width-multiplier. Under this setting, somewhat surprisingly, we show that using a single bitwidth for the whole network can achieve better accuracy compared to mixed-precision quantization targeting zero accuracy degradation when both have the same model size. In particular, our results suggest that when the number of channels becomes a target hyperparameter, a single weight bitwidth throughout the network shows superior results for model compression.
摘要:深ConvNets重量量化已经显示出有希望的应用,如图像分类和语义分割结果和是为应用程序,其中存储器存储被限制尤其重要。然而,如果没有准确恶化瞄准量化时,不同的任务可以用不同的bitwidths结束。这对于软件和硬件支持创建复杂性和当考虑混合精度量化,在这种情况下,每个层的权重使用不同位宽的复杂性蓄积。我们的主要观点是,优化了至少位宽不受任何精度的下降不一定是最优策略。这是因为一个不能在两个bitwidths之间做出选择最优如果一个人有一个小的模型的大小,而其他有更好的精度。在这项工作中,我们采取的第一个步骤,以了解是否有些重位宽是使用宽度倍增器对准所有同型号大小比别人做得更好。在此设置下,多少有些出人意料的是,我们证明了使用单一位宽为整个网络可以比较混合精度量化目标零精度的下降,当两者具有相同的型号尺寸实现更高的精度。特别地,我们的结果表明,当信道的数目成为目标超参数,在整个网络中示出了用于模型压缩优异的结果的单个重量位宽。

Abstract: Click-through rate prediction (CTR) and post-click conversion rate prediction (CVR) play key roles across all industrial ranking systems, such as recommendation systems, online advertising, and search engines. Different from the extensive research on CTR, there is much less research on CVR estimation, whose main challenge is extreme data sparsity with one or two orders of magnitude reduction in the number of samples than CTR. People try to solve this problem with the paradigm of multi-task learning with the sufficient samples of CTR, but the typical hard sharing method can't effectively solve this problem, because it is difficult to analyze which parts of network components can be shared and which parts are in conflict, i.e., there is a large inaccuracy with artificially designed neurons sharing. In this paper, we model CVR in a brand-new method by adopting the lottery-ticket-hypothesis-based sparse sharing multi-task learning, which can automatically and flexibly learn which neuron weights to be shared without artificial experience. Experiments on the dataset gathered from traffic logs of Tencent video's recommendation system demonstrate that sparse sharing in the CVR model significantly outperforms competitive methods. Due to the nature of weight sparsity in sparse sharing, it can also significantly reduce computational complexity and memory usage which are very important in the industrial recommendation system.
摘要:点击率预测(CTR)和点击后转化率预测(CVR)发挥在所有产业的排名系统的关键角色,如推荐系统,网络广告和搜索引擎。从CTR广泛的研究不同,对CVR估计,其主要的挑战是,在样本比CTR的数量级减少的一个或两个数量级极高的数据稀疏的研究要少得多。人们试图解决这个问题,多任务学习与CTR的足够样本的范例,但典型的硬共享方法不能有效地解决这个问题,因为它是很难分析其网络组件的部分可以共享,这部分是冲突的,即存在较大的误差与人为设计的神经元分享。在本文中,我们以一种全新的方法模型CVR通过采用基于彩票票,假设稀疏共享多任务学习,能够自动灵活地了解哪些神经元的权重将无需人工经验共享。从腾讯视频的推荐系统的流量日志收集到的数据集的实验结果表明,稀疏共享的CVR模型显著优于竞争力的方法。由于稀疏的共享权数稀疏的性质,它也能显著降低计算复杂度和内存使用它们在工业推荐系统非常重要。

Abstract: Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have improved the accuracy of classification problems in lots of applications. One of the challenges in training a DNN is its need to be fed by an enriched dataset to increase its accuracy and avoid it suffering from overfitting. One way to improve the generalization of DNNs is to augment the training data with new synthesized adversarial samples. Recently, researchers have worked extensively to propose methods for data augmentation. In this paper, we generate adversarial samples to refine the Domains of Attraction (DoAs) of each class. In this approach, at each stage, we use the model learned by the primary and generated adversarial data (up to that stage) to manipulate the primary data in a way that look complicated to the DNN. The DNN is then retrained using the augmented data and then it again generates adversarial data that are hard to predict for itself. As the DNN tries to improve its accuracy by competing with itself (generating hard samples and then learning them), the technique is called Self-Competitive Neural Network (SCNN). To generate such samples, we pose the problem as an optimization task, where the network weights are fixed and use a gradient descent based method to synthesize adversarial samples that are on the boundary of their true labels and the nearest wrong labels. Our experimental results show that data augmentation using SCNNs can significantly increase the accuracy of the original network. As an example, we can mention improving the accuracy of a CNN trained with 1000 limited training data of MNIST dataset from 94.26% to 98.25%.
摘要:深层神经网络(DNNs)已经提高了在许多应用程序分类的精度问题。一个在训练DNN的挑战是它需要通过一个丰富的数据集被输送到提高其准确性和避免过度拟合的痛苦。改善DNNs的推广方法之一是增加新的合成对抗样本训练数据。最近,研究人员广泛合作,提出了数据增强方法。在本文中,我们产生对抗样本细化吸引力每个类的域(DOAS)。在这种方法中,在每一个阶段,我们使用主要和产生对抗数据(到那个阶段)学习的模型来进行处理的方式,看起来很复杂的DNN的主要数据。然后,DNN使用增强的数据重新训练,然后重新生成是很难预测本身对抗性的数据。由于DNN试图通过自身的竞争(产生硬的样本,然后学习它们),以提高其精度,该技术被称为自我竞争神经网络(SCNN)。为了产生这样的样本,我们提出这个问题作为优化任务,其中网络的权重是固定的,使用基于梯度下降法合成敌对的样品是他们真正的标签和最近的错误标签的边界上。我们的实验结果表明,使用SCNNs可以显著提高原有网络的精确度数据增强。作为一个例子,我们可以提到从94.26%提高CNN与MNIST数据集的1000个有限的训练数据训练的准确性98.25%。

Abstract: COVID-19 has been detrimental in terms of the number of fatalities and rising number of critical patients across the world. According to the UNDP (United National Development Programme) Socio-Economic programme, aimed at the COVID-19 crisis, the pandemic is far more than a health crisis: it is affecting societies and economies at their core. There has been greater developments recently in the chest X-ray-based imaging technique as part of the COVID-19 diagnosis especially using Convolution Neural Networks (CNN) for recognising and classifying images. However, given the limitation of supervised labelled imaging data, the classification and predictive risk modelling of medical diagnosis tend to compromise. This paper aims to identify and monitor the effects of COVID-19 on the human lungs by employing Deep Neural Networks on axial CT (Chest Computed Tomography) scan of lungs. We have adopted Mask RCNN, with ResNet50 and ResNet101 as its backbone, to segment the regions, affected by COVID-19 coronavirus. Using the regions of human lungs, where symptoms have manifested, the model classifies condition of the patient as either "Mild" or "Alarming". Moreover, the model is deployed on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to simulate the online usage of the model for performance evaluation and accuracy improvement. The ResNet101 backbone model produces an F1 score of 0.85 and faster prediction scores with an average time of 9.04 seconds per inference.

102. A Unified Taylor Framework for Revisiting Attribution Methods [PDF] 返回目录
  Huiqi Deng, Na Zou, Mengnan Du, Weifu Chen, Guocan Feng, Xia Hu
Abstract: Attribution methods have been developed to understand the decision making process of machine learning models, especially deep neural networks, by assigning importance scores to individual features. Existing attribution methods often built upon empirical intuitions and heuristics. There still lacks a unified framework that can provide deeper understandings of their rationales, theoretical fidelity, and limitations. To bridge the gap, we present a Taylor attribution framework to theoretically characterize the fidelity of explanations. The key idea is to decompose model behaviors into first-order, high-order independent, and high-order interactive terms, which makes clearer attribution of high-order effects and complex feature interactions. Three desired properties are proposed for Taylor attributions, i.e., low model approximation error, accurate assignment of independent and interactive effects. Moreover, several popular attribution methods are mathematically reformulated under the unified Taylor attribution framework. Our theoretical investigations indicate that these attribution methods implicitly reflect high-order terms involving complex feature interdependencies. Among these methods, Integrated Gradient is the only one satisfying the proposed three desired properties. New attribution methods are proposed based on Integrated Gradient by utilizing the Taylor framework. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the existing ones in model interpretations.
摘要:归属方法已经发展到了解机器学习模型的决策过程中,尤其是深层神经网络,通过分配的重要性分数单个特征。现有的归属方法经常在经验直觉和启发式建成。目前仍然缺乏,可以提供他们的理由更深入的理解,理论保真度,并限制一个统一的框架。为了缩小差距,我们提出了一个泰勒归属框架,从理论上解释特点的保真度。其核心思想是分解模型的行为为一阶,高阶独立,和高阶互动方面,这使得高阶效应和复杂的特征交互更清晰的归属。三个期望的特性提出了泰勒归因,即低模型逼近误差,独立和相互影响准确分配。此外,一些流行的归属方法是数学的统一泰勒归属框架下重新编写。我们的理论研究表明,这些归属方法隐含反映涉及复杂功能的相互依存关系高阶项。在这些方法中,综合梯度是唯一一个满足提出了三个期望的性质。基于集成的梯度利用泰勒框架,提出了新的归因方法。实验结果表明,该方法优于模型解释了现有的。
