Title Memory Replay GANs: Learning to Generate New Categories without Forgetting Type Conference Article
Year 2018 Publication (up) 32nd Annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 5966-5976
Keywords
Abstract Previous works on sequential learning address the problem of forgetting in discriminative models. In this paper we consider the case of generative models. In particular, we investigate generative adversarial networks (GANs) in the task of learning new categories in a sequential fashion. We first show that sequential fine tuning renders the network unable to properly generate images from previous categories (ie forgetting). Addressing this problem, we propose Memory Replay GANs (MeRGANs), a conditional GAN framework that integrates a memory replay generator. We study two methods to prevent forgetting by leveraging these replays, namely joint training with replay and replay alignment. Qualitative and quantitative experimental results in MNIST, SVHN and LSUN datasets show that our memory replay approach can generate competitive images while significantly mitigating the forgetting of previous categories.

Title Convolve, Attend and Spell: An Attention-based Sequence-to-Sequence Model for Handwritten Word Recognition Type Conference Article
Year 2018 Publication (up) 40th German Conference on Pattern Recognition Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 459-472
Keywords
Abstract This paper proposes Convolve, Attend and Spell, an attention based sequence-to-sequence model for handwritten word recognition. The proposed architecture has three main parts: an encoder, consisting of a CNN and a bi-directional GRU, an attention mechanism devoted to focus on the pertinent features and a decoder formed by a one-directional GRU, able to spell the corresponding word, character by character. Compared with the recent state-of-the-art, our model achieves competitive results on the IAM dataset without needing any pre-processing step, predefined lexicon nor language model. Code and additional results are available in https://github.com/omni-us/research-seq2seq-HTR.

Title Use of Software Tools for Real-time Monitoring of Learning Processes: Application to Compilers subject Type Conference Article
Year 2018 Publication (up) 4th International Conference of Higher Education Advances Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 1359-1366
Keywords Monitoring; Evaluation tool; Gamification; Student motivation
Abstract The effective implementation of the Higher European Education Area has meant a change regarding the focus of the learning process, being now the student at its very center. This shift of focus requires a strong involvement and fluent communication between teachers and students to succeed. Considering the difficulties associated to motivate students to take a more active role in the learning process, we explore how the use of a software tool can help both actors to improve the learning experience. We present a tool that can help students to obtain instantaneous feedback with respect to their progress in the subject as well as providing teachers with useful information about the evolution of knowledge acquisition with respect to each of the subject areas. We compare the performance achieved by students in two academic years: results show an improvement in overall performance which, after observing graphs provided by our tool, can be associated to an increase in students interest in the subject.

Title Results of the use of Kahoot! gamification tool in a course of Chemistry Type Conference Article
Year 2018 Publication (up) 4th International Conference on Higher Education Advances Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 1215-1222
Keywords
Abstract The present study examines the use of Kahoot! as a gamification tool to explore mixed learning strategies. We analyze its use in two different groups of a theoretical subject of the third course of the Degree in Chemistry. An empirical-analytical methodology was used using Kahoot! in two different groups of students, with different frequencies. The academic results of these two group of students were compared between them and with those obtained in the previous course, in which Kahoot! was not employed, with the aim of measuring the evolution in the students´ knowledge. The results showed, in all cases, that the use of Kahoot! has led to a significant increase in the overall marks, and in the number of students who passed the subject. Moreover, some differences were also observed in students´ academic performance according to the group. Finally, it can be concluded that the use of a gamification tool (Kahoot!) in a university classroom had generally improved students´ learning and marks, and that this improvement is more prevalent in those students who have achieved a better Kahoot! performance.

Title Color Naming for Multi-Color Fashion Items Type Conference Article
Year 2018 Publication (up) 6th World Conference on Information Systems and Technologies Abbreviated Journal
Volume 747 Issue Pages 64-73
Keywords Deep learning; Color; Multi-label
Abstract There exists a significant amount of research on color naming of single colored objects. However in reality many fashion objects consist of multiple colors. Currently, searching in fashion datasets for multi-colored objects can be a laborious task. Therefore, in this paper we focus on color naming for images with multi-color fashion items. We collect a dataset, which consists of images which may have from one up to four colors. We annotate the images with the 11 basic colors of the English language. We experiment with several designs for deep neural networks with different losses. We show that explicitly estimating the number of colors in the fashion item leads to improved results.

Title Changes in Facial Expression as Biometric: A Database and Benchmarks of Identification Type Conference Article
Year 2018 Publication (up) 8th International Workshop on Human Behavior Understanding Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract Facial dynamics can be considered as unique signatures for discrimination between people. These have started to become important topic since many devices have the possibility of unlocking using face recognition or verification. In this work, we evaluate the efficacy of the transition frames of video in emotion as compared to the peak emotion frames for identification. For experiments with transition frames we extract features from each frame of the video from a fine-tuned VGG-Face Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and geometric features from facial landmark points. To model the temporal context of the transition frames we train a Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) on the geometric and the CNN features. Furthermore, we employ two fusion strategies: first, an early fusion, in which the geometric and the CNN features are stacked and fed to the LSTM. Second, a late fusion, in which the prediction of the LSTMs, trained independently on the two features, are stacked and used with a Support Vector Machine (SVM). Experimental results show that the late fusion strategy gives the best results and the transition frames give better identification results as compared to the peak emotion frames.

Title Residual Stacked RNNs for Action Recognition Type Conference Article
Year 2018 Publication (up) 9th International Workshop on Human Behavior Understanding Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 534-548
Keywords Action recognition; Deep residual learning; Two-stream RNN
Abstract Action recognition pipelines that use Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) are currently 5–10% less accurate than Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). While most works that use RNNs employ a 2D CNN on each frame to extract descriptors for action recognition, we extract spatiotemporal features from a 3D CNN and then learn the temporal relationship of these descriptors through a stacked residual recurrent neural network (Res-RNN). We introduce for the first time residual learning to counter the degradation problem in multi-layer RNNs, which have been successful for temporal aggregation in two-stream action recognition pipelines. Finally, we use a late fusion strategy to combine RGB and optical flow data of the two-stream Res-RNN. Experimental results show that the proposed pipeline achieves competitive results on UCF-101 and state of-the-art results for RNN-like architectures on the challenging HMDB-51 dataset.

Title SigNet: Convolutional Siamese Network for Writer Independent Offline Signature Verification Type Miscellaneous
Year 2018 Publication (up) Arxiv Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract Offline signature verification is one of the most challenging tasks in biometrics and document forensics. Unlike other verification problems, it needs to model minute but critical details between genuine and forged signatures, because a skilled falsification might often resembles the real signature with small deformation. This verification task is even harder in writer independent scenarios which is undeniably fiscal for realistic cases. In this paper, we model an offline writer independent signature verification task with a convolutional Siamese network. Siamese networks are twin networks with shared weights, which can be trained to learn a feature space where similar observations are placed in proximity. This is achieved by exposing the network to a pair of similar and dissimilar observations and minimizing the Euclidean distance between similar pairs while simultaneously maximizing it between dissimilar pairs. Experiments conducted on cross-domain datasets emphasize the capability of our network to model forgery in different languages (scripts) and handwriting styles. Moreover, our designed Siamese network, named SigNet, exceeds the state-of-the-art results on most of the benchmark signature datasets, which paves the way for further research in this direction.

Title Explaining First Impressions: Modeling, Recognizing, and Explaining Apparent Personality from Videos Type Miscellaneous
Year 2018 Publication (up) Arxiv Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract Explainability and interpretability are two critical aspects of decision support systems. Within computer vision, they are critical in certain tasks related to human behavior analysis such as in health care applications. Despite their importance, it is only recently that researchers are starting to explore these aspects. This paper provides an introduction to explainability and interpretability in the context of computer vision with an emphasis on looking at people tasks. Specifically, we review and study those mechanisms in the context of first impressions analysis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first effort in this direction. Additionally, we describe a challenge we organized on explainability in first impressions analysis from video. We analyze in detail the newly introduced data set, the evaluation protocol, and summarize the results of the challenge. Finally, derived from our study, we outline research opportunities that we foresee will be decisive in the near future for the development of the explainable computer vision field.

Title A picture is worth a thousand words but how to organize thousands of pictures? Type Miscellaneous
Year 2018 Publication (up) Arxiv Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract We live in a society where the large majority of the population has a camera-equipped smartphone. In addition, hard drives and cloud storage are getting cheaper and cheaper, leading to a tremendous growth in stored personal photos. Unlike photo collections captured by a digital camera, which typically are pre-processed by the user who organizes them into event-related folders, smartphone pictures are automatically stored in the cloud. As a consequence, photo collections captured by a smartphone are highly unstructured and because smartphones are ubiquitous, they present a larger variability compared to pictures captured by a digital camera. To solve the need of organizing large smartphone photo collections automatically, we propose here a new methodology for hierarchical photo organization into topics and topic-related categories. Our approach successfully estimates latent topics in the pictures by applying probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis, and automatically assigns a name to each topic by relying on a lexical database. Topic-related categories are then estimated by using a set of topic-specific Convolutional Neuronal Networks. To validate our approach, we ensemble and make public a large dataset of more than 8,000 smartphone pictures from 10 persons. Experimental results demonstrate better user satisfaction with respect to state of the art solutions in terms of organization.

Title TextTopicNet-Self-Supervised Learning of Visual Features Through Embedding Images on Semantic Text Spaces Type Miscellaneous
Year 2018 Publication (up) Arxiv Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract The immense success of deep learning based methods in computer vision heavily relies on large scale training datasets. These richly annotated datasets help the network learn discriminative visual features. Collecting and annotating such datasets requires a tremendous amount of human effort and annotations are limited to popular set of classes. As an alternative, learning visual features by designing auxiliary tasks which make use of freely available self-supervision has become increasingly popular in the computer vision community.
In this paper, we put forward an idea to take advantage of multi-modal context to provide self-supervision for the training of computer vision algorithms. We show that adequate visual features can be learned efficiently by training a CNN to predict the semantic textual context in which a particular image is more probable to appear as an illustration. More specifically we use popular text embedding techniques to provide the self-supervision for the training of deep CNN.
