Title Intelligent Interactive Volume Classification Type Conference Article
Year 2013 Publication Pacific Graphics Abbreviated Journal
Volume 32 Issue 7 Pages 23-28
Keywords
Abstract This paper defines an intelligent and interactive framework to classify multiple regions of interest from the original data on demand, without requiring any preprocessing or previous segmentation. The proposed intelligent and interactive approach is divided in three stages: visualize, training and testing. First, users visualize and label some samples directly on slices of the volume. Training and testing are based on a framework of Error Correcting Output Codes and Adaboost classifiers that learn to classify each region the user has painted. Later, at the testing stage, each classifier is directly applied on the rest of samples and combined to perform multi-class labeling, being used in the final rendering. We also parallelized the training stage using a GPU-based implementation for
obtaining a rapid interaction and classification.

Title Asymmetric Distances for Binary Embeddings Type Journal Article
Year 2014 Publication IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence Abbreviated Journal TPAMI
Volume 36 Issue 1 Pages 33-47
Keywords
Abstract In large-scale query-by-example retrieval, embedding image signatures in a binary space offers two benefits: data compression and search efficiency. While most embedding algorithms binarize both query and database signatures, it has been noted that this is not strictly a requirement. Indeed, asymmetric schemes which binarize the database signatures but not the query still enjoy the same two benefits but may provide superior accuracy. In this work, we propose two general asymmetric distances which are applicable to a wide variety of embedding techniques including Locality Sensitive Hashing (LSH), Locality Sensitive Binary Codes (LSBC), Spectral Hashing (SH), PCA Embedding (PCAE), PCA Embedding with random rotations (PCAE-RR), and PCA Embedding with iterative quantization (PCAE-ITQ). We experiment on four public benchmarks containing up to 1M images and show that the proposed asymmetric distances consistently lead to large improvements over the symmetric Hamming distance for all binary embedding techniques.

Title Factorized appearances for object detection Type Journal Article
Year 2015 Publication Computer Vision and Image Understanding Abbreviated Journal CVIU
Volume 138 Issue Pages 92–101
Keywords Object recognition; Deformable part models; Learning and sharing parts; Discovering discriminative parts
Abstract Deformable object models capture variations in an object’s appearance that can be represented as image deformations. Other effects such as out-of-plane rotations, three-dimensional articulations, and self-occlusions are often captured by considering mixture of deformable models, one per object aspect. A more scalable approach is representing instead the variations at the level of the object parts, applying the concept of a mixture locally. Combining a few part variations can in fact cheaply generate a large number of global appearances.

A limited version of this idea was proposed by Yang and Ramanan [1], for human pose dectection. In this paper we apply it to the task of generic object category detection and extend it in several ways. First, we propose a model for the relationship between part appearances more general than the tree of Yang and Ramanan [1], which is more suitable for generic categories. Second, we treat part locations as well as their appearance as latent variables so that training does not need part annotations but only the object bounding boxes. Third, we modify the weakly-supervised learning of Felzenszwalb et al. and Girshick et al. [2], [3] to handle a significantly more complex latent structure.
Our model is evaluated on standard object detection benchmarks and is found to improve over existing approaches, yielding state-of-the-art results for several object categories.

Title Multi-Scale Stacked Sequential Learning Type Journal Article
Year 2011 Publication Pattern Recognition Abbreviated Journal PR
Volume 44 Issue 10-11 Pages 2414-2416
Keywords Stacked sequential learning; Multiscale; Multiresolution; Contextual classification
Abstract One of the most widely used assumptions in supervised learning is that data is independent and identically distributed. This assumption does not hold true in many real cases. Sequential learning is the discipline of machine learning that deals with dependent data such that neighboring examples exhibit some kind of relationship. In the literature, there are different approaches that try to capture and exploit this correlation, by means of different methodologies. In this paper we focus on meta-learning strategies and, in particular, the stacked sequential learning approach. The main contribution of this work is two-fold: first, we generalize the stacked sequential learning. This generalization reflects the key role of neighboring interactions modeling. Second, we propose an effective and efficient way of capturing and exploiting sequential correlations that takes into account long-range interactions by means of a multi-scale pyramidal decomposition of the predicted labels. Additionally, this new method subsumes the standard stacked sequential learning approach. We tested the proposed method on two different classification tasks: text lines classification in a FAQ data set and image classification. Results on these tasks clearly show that our approach outperforms the standard stacked sequential learning. Moreover, we show that the proposed method allows to control the trade-off between the detail and the desired range of the interactions.

Title Self‐supervised learning of visual features through embedding images into text topic spaces Type Conference Article
Year 2017 Publication 30th IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract End-to-end training from scratch of current deep architectures for new computer vision problems would require Imagenet-scale datasets, and this is not always possible. In this paper we present a method that is able to take advantage of freely available multi-modal content to train computer vision algorithms without human supervision. We put forward the idea of performing self-supervised learning of visual features by mining a large scale corpus of multi-modal (text and image) documents. We show that discriminative visual features can be learnt efficiently by training a CNN to predict the semantic context in which a particular image is more probable to appear as an illustration. For this we leverage the hidden semantic structures discovered in the text corpus with a well-known topic modeling technique. Our experiments demonstrate state of the art performance in image classification, object detection, and multi-modal retrieval compared to recent self-supervised or natural-supervised approaches.

Title Document classification using multiple views Type Conference Article
Year 2012 Publication 10th IAPR International Workshop on Document Analysis Systems Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 33-37
Keywords
Abstract The combination of multiple features or views when representing documents or other kinds of objects usually leads to improved results in classification (and retrieval) tasks. Most systems assume that those views will be available both at training and test time. However, some views may be too `expensive' to be available at test time. In this paper, we consider the use of Canonical Correlation Analysis to leverage `expensive' views that are available only at training time. Experimental results show that this information may significantly improve the results in a classification task.

Title Large-scale document image retrieval and classification with runlength histograms and binary embeddings Type Journal Article
Year 2013 Publication Pattern Recognition Abbreviated Journal PR
Volume 46 Issue 7 Pages 1898-1905
Keywords visual document descriptor; compression; large-scale; retrieval; classification
Abstract We present a new document image descriptor based on multi-scale runlength
histograms. This descriptor does not rely on layout analysis and can be
computed efficiently. We show how this descriptor can achieve state-of-theart
results on two very different public datasets in classification and retrieval
tasks. Moreover, we show how we can compress and binarize these descriptors
to make them suitable for large-scale applications. We can achieve state-ofthe-
art results in classification using binary descriptors of as few as 16 to 64
bits.

Title Réduction de l’espace de recherche pour les personnages de bandes dessinées Type Conference Article
Year 2014 Publication 19th National Congress Reconnaissance de Formes et l'Intelligence Artificielle Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords contextual search; document analysis; comics characters
Abstract Les bandes dessinées représentent un patrimoine culturel important dans de nombreux pays et leur numérisation massive offre la possibilité d'effectuer des recherches dans le contenu des images. À ce jour, ce sont principalement les structures des pages et leurs contenus textuels qui ont été étudiés, peu de travaux portent sur le contenu graphique. Nous proposons de nous appuyer sur des éléments déjà étudiés tels que la position des cases et des bulles, pour réduire l'espace de recherche et localiser les personnages en fonction de la queue des bulles. L'évaluation de nos différentes contributions à partir de la base eBDtheque montre un taux de détection des queues de bulle de 81.2%, de localisation des personnages allant jusqu'à 85% et un gain d'espace de recherche de plus de 50%.

Title Terminating Evolutionary Algorithms at their Steady State Type Journal Article
Year 2015 Publication Computational Optimization and Applications Abbreviated Journal COA
Volume 61 Issue 2 Pages 489-515
Keywords Evolutionary algorithms; Termination condition; Steady state; Differential evolution
Abstract Assessing the reliability of termination conditions for evolutionary algorithms (EAs) is of prime importance. An erroneous or weak stop criterion can negatively affect both the computational effort and the final result. We introduce a statistical framework for assessing whether a termination condition is able to stop an EA at its steady state, so that its results can not be improved anymore. We use a regression model in order to determine the requirements ensuring that a measure derived from EA evolving population is related to the distance to the optimum in decision variable space. Our framework is analyzed across 24 benchmark test functions and two standard termination criteria based on function fitness value in objective function space and EA population decision variable space distribution for the differential evolution (DE) paradigm. Results validate our framework as a powerful tool for determining the capability of a measure for terminating EA and the results also identify the decision variable space distribution as the best-suited for accurately terminating DE in real-world applications.

Title Key-region detection for document images -applications to administrative document retrieval Type Conference Article
Year 2013 Publication 12th International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 230-234
Keywords
Abstract In this paper we argue that a key-region detector designed to take into account the special characteristics of document images can result in the detection of less and more meaningful key-regions. We propose a fast key-region detector able to capture aspects of the structural information of the document, and demonstrate its efficiency by comparing against standard detectors in an administrative document retrieval scenario. We show that using the proposed detector results to a smaller number of detected key-regions and higher performance without any drop in speed compared to standard state of the art detectors.

Title Document Classification and Page Stream Segmentation for Digital Mailroom Applications Type Conference Article
Year 2013 Publication 12th International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 621-625
Keywords
Abstract In this paper we present a method for the segmentation of continuous page streams into multipage documents and the simultaneous classification of the resulting documents. We first present an approach to combine the multiple pages of a document into a single feature vector that represents the whole document. Despite its simplicity and low computational cost, the proposed representation yields results comparable to more complex methods in multipage document classification tasks. We then exploit this representation in the context of page stream segmentation. The most plausible segmentation of a page stream into a sequence of multipage documents is obtained by optimizing a statistical model that represents the probability of each segmented multipage document belonging to a particular class. Experimental results are reported on a large sample of real administrative multipage documents.

Title Fast Structural Matching for Document Image Retrieval through Spatial Databases Type Conference Article
Year 2014 Publication Document Recognition and Retrieval XXI Abbreviated Journal
Volume 9021 Issue Pages
Keywords Document image retrieval; distance transform; MSER; spatial database
Abstract The structure of document images plays a signi cant role in document analysis thus considerable e orts have been made towards extracting and understanding document structure, usually in the form of layout analysis approaches. In this paper, we rst employ Distance Transform based MSER (DTMSER) to eciently extract stable document structural elements in terms of a dendrogram of key-regions. Then a fast structural matching method is proposed to query the structure of document (dendrogram) based on a spatial database which facilitates the formulation of advanced spatial queries. The experiments demonstrate a signi cant improvement in a document retrieval scenario when compared to the use of typical Bag of Words (BoW) and pyramidal BoW descriptors.

Title Embedding Document Structure to Bag-of-Words through Pair-wise Stable Key-regions Type Conference Article
Year 2014 Publication 22nd International Conference on Pattern Recognition Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 2903 - 2908
Keywords
Abstract Since the document structure carries valuable discriminative information, plenty of efforts have been made for extracting and understanding document structure among which layout analysis approaches are the most commonly used. In this paper, Distance Transform based MSER (DTMSER) is employed to efficiently extract the document structure as a dendrogram of key-regions which roughly correspond to structural elements such as characters, words and paragraphs. Inspired by the Bag
of Words (BoW) framework, we propose an efficient method for structural document matching by representing the document image as a histogram of key-region pairs encoding structural relationships.
Applied to the scenario of document image retrieval, experimental results demonstrate a remarkable improvement when comparing the proposed method with typical BoW and pyramidal BoW methods.
