Title Color Vision, Computational Methods for Type Book Chapter
Year 2014 Publication Encyclopedia of Computational Neuroscience Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages (up) 1-11
Keywords Color computational vision; Computational neuroscience of color
Abstract The study of color vision has been aided by a whole battery of computational methods that attempt to describe the mechanisms that lead to our perception of colors in terms of the information-processing properties of the visual system. Their scope is highly interdisciplinary, linking apparently dissimilar disciplines such as mathematics, physics, computer science, neuroscience, cognitive science, and psychology. Since the sensation of color is a feature of our brains, computational approaches usually include biological features of neural systems in their descriptions, from retinal light-receptor interaction to subcortical color opponency, cortical signal decoding, and color categorization. They produce hypotheses that are usually tested by behavioral or psychophysical experiments.

Title Iterative Multiclass Multiscale Stacked Sequential Learning: definition and application to medical volume segmentation Type Journal Article
Year 2014 Publication Pattern Recognition Letters Abbreviated Journal PRL
Volume 46 Issue Pages (up) 1-10
Keywords Machine learning; Sequential learning; Multi-class problems; Contextual learning; Medical volume segmentation
Abstract In this work we present the iterative multi-class multi-scale stacked sequential learning framework (IMMSSL), a novel learning scheme that is particularly suited for medical volume segmentation applications. This model exploits the inherent voxel contextual information of the structures of interest in order to improve its segmentation performance results. Without any feature set or learning algorithm prior assumption, the proposed scheme directly seeks to learn the contextual properties of a region from the predicted classifications of previous classifiers within an iterative scheme. Performance results regarding segmentation accuracy in three two-class and multi-class medical volume datasets show a significant improvement with respect to state of the art alternatives. Due to its easiness of implementation and its independence of feature space and learning algorithm, the presented machine learning framework could be taken into consideration as a first choice in complex volume segmentation scenarios.

Title A Tale of two Transcriptions Type Journal
Year 2015 Publication Historical Life Course Studies Abbreviated Journal
Volume 2 Issue Pages (up) 1-19
Keywords Nominative Sources; Census; Vital Records; Computer Vision; Optical Character Recognition; Word Spotting
Abstract non-indexed
This article explains how two projects implement semi-automated transcription routines: for census sheets in Norway and marriage protocols from Barcelona. The Spanish system was created to transcribe the marriage license books from 1451 to 1905 for the Barcelona area; one of the world’s longest series of preserved vital records. Thus, in the Project “Five Centuries of Marriages” (5CofM) at the Autonomous University of Barcelona’s Center for Demographic Studies, the Barcelona Historical Marriage Database has been built. More than 600,000 records were transcribed by 150 transcribers working online. The Norwegian material is cross-sectional as it is the 1891 census, recorded on one sheet per person. This format and the underlining of keywords for several variables made it more feasible to semi-automate data entry than when many persons are listed on the same page. While Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for printed text is scientifically mature, computer vision research is now focused on more difficult problems such as handwriting recognition. In the marriage project, document analysis methods have been proposed to automatically recognize the marriage licenses. Fully automatic recognition is still a challenge, but some promising results have been obtained. In Spain, Norway and elsewhere the source material is available as scanned pictures on the Internet, opening up the possibility for further international cooperation concerning automating the transcription of historic source materials. Like what is being done in projects to digitize printed materials, the optimal solution is likely to be a combination of manual transcription and machine-assisted recognition also for hand-written sources.

Title ChaLearn Looking at People 2015 new competitions: Age Estimation and Cultural Event Recognition Type Conference Article
Year 2015 Publication IEEE International Joint Conference on Neural Networks IJCNN2015 Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages (up) 1-8
Keywords
Abstract Following previous series on Looking at People (LAP) challenges [1], [2], [3], in 2015 ChaLearn runs two new competitions within the field of Looking at People: age and cultural event recognition in still images. We propose thefirst crowdsourcing application to collect and label data about apparent
age of people instead of the real age. In terms of cultural event recognition, tens of categories have to be recognized. This involves scene understanding and human analysis. This paper summarizes both challenges and data, providing some initial baselines. The results of the first round of the competition were presented at ChaLearn LAP 2015 IJCNN special session on computer vision and robotics http://www.dtic.ua.es/∼jgarcia/IJCNN2015.

Title Facial Expression Recognition based on Multi-view Observations with Application to Social Robotics Type Conference Article
Year 2014 Publication 1st Workshop on Computer Vision for Affective Computing Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages (up) 1-8
Keywords
Abstract Human-robot interaction is a hot topic nowadays in the social robotics community. One crucial aspect is represented by the affective communication which comes encoded through the facial expressions. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for facial expression recognition, which exploits an efficient and adaptive graph-based label propagation (semi-supervised mode) in a multi-observation framework. The facial features are extracted using an appearance-based 3D face tracker, view- and texture independent. Our method has been extensively tested on the CMU dataset, and has been conveniently compared with other methods for graph construction. With the proposed approach, we developed an application for an AIBO robot, in which it mirrors the recognized facial
expression.

Title Visual Summary of Egocentric Photostreams by Representative Keyframes Type Conference Article
Year 2015 Publication IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo ICMEW2015 Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages (up) 1-6
Keywords egocentric; lifelogging; summarization; keyframes
Abstract Building a visual summary from an egocentric photostream captured by a lifelogging wearable camera is of high interest for different applications (e.g. memory reinforcement). In this paper, we propose a new summarization method based on keyframes selection that uses visual features extracted bymeans of a convolutional neural network. Our method applies an unsupervised clustering for dividing the photostreams into events, and finally extracts the most relevant keyframe for each event. We assess the results by applying a blind-taste test on a group of 20 people who assessed the quality of the
summaries.

Title AutoML Challenge 2015: Design and First Results Type Conference Article
Year 2015 Publication 32nd International Conference on Machine Learning, ICML workshop, JMLR proceedings ICML15 Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages (up) 1-8
Keywords AutoML Challenge; machine learning; model selection; meta-learning; repre- sentation learning; active learning
Abstract ChaLearn is organizing the Automatic Machine Learning (AutoML) contest 2015, which challenges participants to solve classi cation and regression problems without any human intervention. Participants' code is automatically run on the contest servers to train and test learning machines. However, there is no obligation to submit code; half of the prizes can be won by submitting prediction results only. Datasets of progressively increasing diculty are introduced throughout the six rounds of the challenge. (Participants can
enter the competition in any round.) The rounds alternate phases in which learners are tested on datasets participants have not seen (AutoML), and phases in which participants have limited time to tweak their algorithms on those datasets to improve performance (Tweakathon). This challenge will push the state of the art in fully automatic machine learning on a wide range of real-world problems. The platform will remain available beyond the termination of the challenge: http://codalab.org/AutoML.

Title Delaunay triangulation-based features for Camera-based document image retrieval system Type Conference Article
Year 2016 Publication 12th IAPR Workshop on Document Analysis Systems Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages (up) 1-6
Keywords Camera-based Document Image Retrieval; Delaunay Triangulation; Feature descriptors; Indexing
Abstract In this paper, we propose a new feature vector, named DElaunay TRIangulation-based Features (DETRIF), for real-time camera-based document image retrieval. DETRIF is computed based on the geometrical constraints from each pair of adjacency triangles in delaunay triangulation which is constructed from centroids of connected components. Besides, we employ a hashing-based indexing system in order to evaluate the performance of DETRIF and to compare it with other systems such as LLAH and SRIF. The experimentation is carried out on two datasets comprising of 400 heterogeneous-content complex linguistic map images (huge size, 9800 X 11768 pixels resolution)and 700 textual document images.

Title Challenges in multimodal gesture recognition Type Journal Article
Year 2016 Publication Journal of Machine Learning Research Abbreviated Journal JMLR
Volume 17 Issue Pages (up) 1-54
Keywords Gesture Recognition; Time Series Analysis; Multimodal Data Analysis; Computer Vision; Pattern Recognition; Wearable sensors; Infrared Cameras; KinectTM
Abstract This paper surveys the state of the art on multimodal gesture recognition and introduces the JMLR special topic on gesture recognition 2011-2015. We began right at the start of the KinectTMrevolution when inexpensive infrared cameras providing image depth recordings became available. We published papers using this technology and other more conventional methods, including regular video cameras, to record data, thus providing a good overview of uses of machine learning and computer vision using multimodal data in this area of application. Notably, we organized a series of challenges and made available several datasets we recorded for that purpose, including tens of thousands
of videos, which are available to conduct further research. We also overview recent state of the art works on gesture recognition based on a proposed taxonomy for gesture recognition, discussing challenges and future lines of research.

Title A brief Review of the ChaLearn AutoML Challenge: Any-time Any-dataset Learning without Human Intervention Type Conference Article
Year 2016 Publication AutoML Workshop Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue 1 Pages (up) 1-8
Keywords AutoML Challenge; machine learning; model selection; meta-learning; repre- sentation learning; active learning
Abstract The ChaLearn AutoML Challenge team conducted a large scale evaluation of fully automatic, black-box learning machines for feature-based classification and regression problems. The test bed was composed of 30 data sets from a wide variety of application domains and ranged across different types of complexity. Over six rounds, participants succeeded in delivering AutoML software capable of being trained and tested without human intervention. Although improvements can still be made to close the gap between human-tweaked and AutoML models, this competition contributes to the development of fully automated environments by challenging practitioners to solve problems under specific constraints and sharing their approaches; the platform will remain available for post-challenge submissions at http://codalab.org/AutoML.

Title Support Vector Machines with Time Series Distance Kernels for Action Classification Type Conference Article
Year 2016 Publication IEEE Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages (up) 1-7
Keywords
Abstract Despite the outperformance of Support Vector Machine (SVM) on many practical classification problems, the algorithm is not directly applicable to multi-dimensional trajectories having different lengths. In this paper, a new class of SVM that is applicable to trajectory classification, such as action recognition, is developed by incorporating two efficient time-series distances measures into the kernel function.
Dynamic Time Warping and Longest Common Subsequence distance measures along with their derivatives are
employed as the SVM kernel. In addition, the pairwise proximity learning strategy is utilized in order to make use of non-positive semi-definite kernels in the SVM formulation. The proposed method is employed for a challenging classification problem: action recognition by depth cameras using only skeleton data; and evaluated on three benchmark action datasets. Experimental results demonstrate the outperformance of our methodology compared to the state-ofthe-art on the considered datasets.
