In this paper, we discuss a novel approach to incrementally construct a rule ensemble. The approach constructs an ensemble from a dynamically generated set of rule classifiers. Each classifier in this set is trained by using a different class ordering. We investigate criteria including accuracy, ensemble size, and the role of starting point in the search. Fusion is done by averaging. Using 22 data...
This paper is about the collaborative use of a far-infrared spectrum human detector and a visible spectrum human detector; the idea is to make collaborate these two detectors of different nature to automatically adapt the human detection whatever the luminosity changes and whatever the infrared emission changes of the scene. Our collaborative approach of detection handles: 1) gradual luminosity changes...
Low-Rank Representation (LRR) is an effective self-expressiveness method, which uses the observed data itself as the dictionary to reconstruct the original data. LRR focuses on representing the global low-dimensional information, but ignores the real fact that data often resides on low-dimensional manifolds embedded in a high-dimensional data. Therefore, LRR can not capture the non-linear geometric...
The ability to automatically detect the extent of agreement or disagreement a person expresses is an important indicator of inter-personal relations and emotion expression. Most of existing methods for automated analysis of human agreement from audio-visual data perform agreement detection using either audio or visual modality of human interactions. However, this is suboptimal as expression of different...
Recent works demonstrated the usefulness of temporal coherence to regularize supervised training or to learn invariant features with deep architectures. In particular, enforcing a smooth output change while presenting temporally-closed frames from video sequences, proved to be an effective strategy. In this paper we prove the efficacy of temporal coherence for semi-supervised incremental tuning. We...
In this paper, we propose two new approaches using the Convolution Neural Network (CNN) and the Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) for tracking 3D hand poses. The first approach is a detection based algorithm while the second is a data driven method. Our first contribution is a new tracking-by-detection strategy extending the CNN based single frame detection method to a multiple frame tracking approach...
Sparse subspace learning has been demonstrated to be effective in data mining and machine learning. In this paper, we cast the unsupervised feature selection scenario as a matrix factorization problem from the view of sparse subspace learning. By minimizing the reconstruction residual, the learned feature weight matrix with the l2,1-norm and the non-negative constraints not only removes the irrelevant...
Image quality assessment gains a greater interest due to development of digital imaging and storage. In that field, structural similarity (SSIM) index has been shown to favorably agree with human perceptual assessment, significantly outperforming the method of mean squared error, i.e., L2 distance. The similarity measure function in SSIM which compares a target (distorted) image with its reference...
