	Title	Handwritten Historical Music Recognition through Sequence-to-Sequence with Attention Mechanism			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2022	Publication	3rd International Workshop on Reading Music Systems (WoRMS2021)	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	55-59
	Keywords	Optical Music Recognition; Digits; Image Classification
	Abstract	Despite decades of research in Optical Music Recognition (OMR), the recognition of old handwritten music scores remains a challenge because of the variabilities in the handwriting styles, paper degradation, lack of standard notation, etc. Therefore, the research in OMR systems adapted to the particularities of old manuscripts is crucial to accelerate the conversion of music scores existing in archives into digital libraries, fostering the dissemination and preservation of our music heritage. In this paper we explore the adaptation of sequence-to-sequence models with attention mechanism (used in translation and handwritten text recognition) and the generation of specific synthetic data for recognizing old music scores. The experimental validation demonstrates that our approach is promising, especially when compared with long short-term memory neural networks.

	Title	SoccerNet 2022 Challenges Results			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2022	Publication	5th International ACM Workshop on Multimedia Content Analysis in Sports	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	75-86
	Keywords
	Abstract	The SoccerNet 2022 challenges were the second annual video understanding challenges organized by the SoccerNet team. In 2022, the challenges were composed of 6 vision-based tasks: (1) action spotting, focusing on retrieving action timestamps in long untrimmed videos, (2) replay grounding, focusing on retrieving the live moment of an action shown in a replay, (3) pitch localization, focusing on detecting line and goal part elements, (4) camera calibration, dedicated to retrieving the intrinsic and extrinsic camera parameters, (5) player re-identification, focusing on retrieving the same players across multiple views, and (6) multiple object tracking, focusing on tracking players and the ball through unedited video streams. Compared to last year's challenges, tasks (1-2) had their evaluation metrics redefined to consider tighter temporal accuracies, and tasks (3-6) were novel, including their underlying data and annotations. More information on the tasks, challenges and leaderboards are available on this https URL. Baselines and development kits are available on this https URL.

	Title	Learning Multi-Subset of Classes for Fine-Grained Food Recognition			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2022	Publication	7th International Workshop on Multimedia Assisted Dietary Management	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	17–26
	Keywords
	Abstract	Food image recognition is a complex computer vision task, because of the large number of fine-grained food classes. Fine-grained recognition tasks focus on learning subtle discriminative details to distinguish similar classes. In this paper, we introduce a new method to improve the classification of classes that are more difficult to discriminate based on Multi-Subsets learning. Using a pre-trained network, we organize classes in multiple subsets using a clustering technique. Later, we embed these subsets in a multi-head model structure. This structure has three distinguishable parts. First, we use several shared blocks to learn the generalized representation of the data. Second, we use multiple specialized blocks focusing on specific subsets that are difficult to distinguish. Lastly, we use a fully connected layer to weight the different subsets in an end-to-end manner by combining the neuron outputs. We validated our proposed method using two recent state-of-the-art vision transformers on three public food recognition datasets. Our method was successful in learning the confused classes better and we outperformed the state-of-the-art on the three datasets.

	Title	A Novel Framework for Image-to-image Translation and Image Compression			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2022	Publication	Neurocomputing	Abbreviated Journal	NEUCOM
	Volume	508	Issue		Pages	58-70
	Keywords
	Abstract	Data-driven paradigms using machine learning are becoming ubiquitous in image processing and communications. In particular, image-to-image (I2I) translation is a generic and widely used approach to image processing problems, such as image synthesis, style transfer, and image restoration. At the same time, neural image compression has emerged as a data-driven alternative to traditional coding approaches in visual communications. In this paper, we study the combination of these two paradigms into a joint I2I compression and translation framework, focusing on multi-domain image synthesis. We first propose distributed I2I translation by integrating quantization and entropy coding into an I2I translation framework (i.e. I2Icodec). In practice, the image compression functionality (i.e. autoencoding) is also desirable, requiring to deploy alongside I2Icodec a regular image codec. Thus, we further propose a unified framework that allows both translation and autoencoding capabilities in a single codec. Adaptive residual blocks conditioned on the translation/compression mode provide flexible adaptation to the desired functionality. The experiments show promising results in both I2I translation and image compression using a single model.

	Title	Enhance to Read Better: A Multi-Task Adversarial Network for Handwritten Document Image Enhancement			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2022	Publication	Pattern Recognition	Abbreviated Journal	PR
	Volume	123	Issue		Pages	108370
	Keywords
	Abstract	Handwritten document images can be highly affected by degradation for different reasons: Paper ageing, daily-life scenarios (wrinkles, dust, etc.), bad scanning process and so on. These artifacts raise many readability issues for current Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) algorithms and severely devalue their efficiency. In this paper, we propose an end to end architecture based on Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to recover the degraded documents into a and form. Unlike the most well-known document binarization methods, which try to improve the visual quality of the degraded document, the proposed architecture integrates a handwritten text recognizer that promotes the generated document image to be more readable. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to use the text information while binarizing handwritten documents. Extensive experiments conducted on degraded Arabic and Latin handwritten documents demonstrate the usefulness of integrating the recognizer within the GAN architecture, which improves both the visual quality and the readability of the degraded document images. Moreover, we outperform the state of the art in H-DIBCO challenges, after fine tuning our pre-trained model with synthetically degraded Latin handwritten images, on this task.

	Title	Lost in Transcription of Graphic Signs in Ciphers			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2022	Publication	International Conference on Historical Cryptology (HistoCrypt 2022)	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	153-158
	Keywords	transcription of ciphers; hand-written text recognition of symbols; graphic signs
	Abstract	Hand-written Text Recognition techniques with the aim to automatically identify and transcribe hand-written text have been applied to historical sources including ciphers. In this paper, we compare the performance of two machine learning architectures, an unsupervised method based on clustering and a deep learning method with few-shot learning. Both models are tested on seen and unseen data from historical ciphers with different symbol sets consisting of various types of graphic signs. We compare the models and highlight their differences in performance, with their advantages and shortcomings.

	Title	Modeling, Recognizing, and Explaining Apparent Personality from Videos			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2022	Publication	IEEE Transactions on Affective Computing	Abbreviated Journal	TAC
	Volume	13	Issue	2	Pages	894-911
	Keywords
	Abstract	Explainability and interpretability are two critical aspects of decision support systems. 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 apparent personality recognition. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first effort in this direction. We describe a challenge we organized on explainability in first impressions analysis from video. We analyze in detail the newly introduced data set, evaluation protocol, proposed solutions and summarize the results of the challenge. We investigate the issue of bias in detail. Finally, derived from our study, we outline research opportunities that we foresee will be relevant in this area in the near future.

	Title	Integrated Hierarchical and Flat Classifiers for Food Image Classification using Epistemic Uncertainty			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2022	Publication	IEEE International Conference on Signal Processing and Communications	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords
	Abstract	The problem of food image recognition is an essential one in today’s context because health conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and heart disease require constant monitoring of a person’s diet. To automate this process, several models are available to recognize food images. Due to a considerable number of unique food dishes and various cuisines, a traditional flat classifier ceases to perform well. To address this issue, prediction schemes consisting of both flat and hierarchical classifiers, with the analysis of epistemic uncertainty are used to switch between the classifiers. However, the accuracy of the predictions made using epistemic uncertainty data remains considerably low. Therefore, this paper presents a prediction scheme using three different threshold criteria that helps to increase the accuracy of epistemic uncertainty predictions. The performance of the proposed method is demonstrated using several experiments performed on the MAFood-121 dataset. The experimental results validate the proposal performance and show that the proposed threshold criteria help to increase the overall accuracy of the predictions by correctly classifying the uncertainty distribution of the samples.

	Title	Investigating Explainable Artificial Intelligence for MRI-based Classification of Dementia: a New Stability Criterion for Explainable Methods			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2022	Publication	29th IEEE International Conference on Image Processing	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords	Image processing; Stability criteria; Machine learning; Robustness; Alzheimer's disease; Monitoring
	Abstract	Individuals diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) have shown an increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). As such, early identification of dementia represents a key prognostic element, though hampered by complex disease patterns. Increasing efforts have focused on Machine Learning (ML) to build accurate classification models relying on a multitude of clinical/imaging variables. However, ML itself does not provide sensible explanations related to the model mechanism and feature contribution. Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) represents the enabling technology in this framework, allowing to understand ML outcomes and derive human-understandable explanations. In this study, we aimed at exploring ML combined with MRI-based features and XAI to solve this classification problem and interpret the outcome. In particular, we propose a new method to assess the robustness of feature rankings provided by XAI methods, especially when multicollinearity exists. Our findings indicate that our method was able to disentangle the list of the informative features underlying dementia, with important implications for aiding personalized monitoring plans.

	Title	ChaLearn Looking at People: IsoGD and ConGD Large-scale RGB-D Gesture Recognition			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2022	Publication	IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics	Abbreviated Journal	TCIBERN
	Volume	52	Issue	5	Pages	3422-3433
	Keywords
	Abstract	The ChaLearn large-scale gesture recognition challenge has been run twice in two workshops in conjunction with the International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR) 2016 and International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV) 2017, attracting more than 200 teams round the world. This challenge has two tracks, focusing on isolated and continuous gesture recognition, respectively. This paper describes the creation of both benchmark datasets and analyzes the advances in large-scale gesture recognition based on these two datasets. We discuss the challenges of collecting large-scale ground-truth annotations of gesture recognition, and provide a detailed analysis of the current state-of-the-art methods for large-scale isolated and continuous gesture recognition based on RGB-D video sequences. In addition to recognition rate and mean jaccard index (MJI) as evaluation metrics used in our previous challenges, we also introduce the corrected segmentation rate (CSR) metric to evaluate the performance of temporal segmentation for continuous gesture recognition. Furthermore, we propose a bidirectional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM) baseline method, determining the video division points based on the skeleton points extracted by convolutional pose machine (CPM). Experiments demonstrate that the proposed Bi-LSTM outperforms the state-of-the-art methods with an absolute improvement of 8.1% (from 0.8917 to 0.9639) of CSR.

	Title	DE-GAN: A Conditional Generative Adversarial Network for Document Enhancement			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2022	Publication	IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence	Abbreviated Journal	TPAMI
	Volume	44	Issue	3	Pages	1180-1191
	Keywords
	Abstract	Documents often exhibit various forms of degradation, which make it hard to be read and substantially deteriorate the performance of an OCR system. In this paper, we propose an effective end-to-end framework named Document Enhancement Generative Adversarial Networks (DE-GAN) that uses the conditional GANs (cGANs) to restore severely degraded document images. To the best of our knowledge, this practice has not been studied within the context of generative adversarial deep networks. We demonstrate that, in different tasks (document clean up, binarization, deblurring and watermark removal), DE-GAN can produce an enhanced version of the degraded document with a high quality. In addition, our approach provides consistent improvements compared to state-of-the-art methods over the widely used DIBCO 2013, DIBCO 2017 and H-DIBCO 2018 datasets, proving its ability to restore a degraded document image to its ideal condition. The obtained results on a wide variety of degradation reveal the flexibility of the proposed model to be exploited in other document enhancement problems.

	Title	Let there be a clock on the beach: Reducing Object Hallucination in Image Captioning			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2022	Publication	Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	1381-1390
	Keywords	Measurement; Training; Visualization; Analytical models; Computer vision; Computational modeling; Training data
	Abstract	Explaining an image with missing or non-existent objects is known as object bias (hallucination) in image captioning. This behaviour is quite common in the state-of-the-art captioning models which is not desirable by humans. To decrease the object hallucination in captioning, we propose three simple yet efficient training augmentation method for sentences which requires no new training data or increase in the model size. By extensive analysis, we show that the proposed methods can significantly diminish our models’ object bias on hallucination metrics. Moreover, we experimentally demonstrate that our methods decrease the dependency on the visual features. All of our code, configuration files and model weights are available online.

	Title	One-shot Compositional Data Generation for Low Resource Handwritten Text Recognition			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2022	Publication	Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords	Document Analysis
	Abstract	Low resource Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) is a hard problem due to the scarce annotated data and the very limited linguistic information (dictionaries and language models). This appears, for example, in the case of historical ciphered manuscripts, which are usually written with invented alphabets to hide the content. Thus, in this paper we address this problem through a data generation technique based on Bayesian Program Learning (BPL). Contrary to traditional generation approaches, which require a huge amount of annotated images, our method is able to generate human-like handwriting using only one sample of each symbol from the desired alphabet. After generating symbols, we create synthetic lines to train state-of-the-art HTR architectures in a segmentation free fashion. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were carried out and confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method, achieving competitive results compared to the usage of real annotated data.

	Title	Multi-Task Classification of Sewer Pipe Defects and Properties Using a Cross-Task Graph Neural Network Decoder			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2022	Publication	Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	2806-2817
	Keywords	Vision Systems; Applications Multi-Task Classification
	Abstract	The sewerage infrastructure is one of the most important and expensive infrastructures in modern society. In order to efficiently manage the sewerage infrastructure, automated sewer inspection has to be utilized. However, while sewer defect classification has been investigated for decades, little attention has been given to classifying sewer pipe properties such as water level, pipe material, and pipe shape, which are needed to evaluate the level of sewer pipe deterioration. In this work we classify sewer pipe defects and properties concurrently and present a novel decoder-focused multi-task classification architecture Cross-Task Graph Neural Network (CT-GNN), which refines the disjointed per-task predictions using cross-task information. The CT-GNN architecture extends the traditional disjointed task-heads decoder, by utilizing a cross-task graph and unique class node embeddings. The cross-task graph can either be determined a priori based on the conditional probability between the task classes or determined dynamically using self-attention. CT-GNN can be added to any backbone and trained end-toend at a small increase in the parameter count. We achieve state-of-the-art performance on all four classification tasks in the Sewer-ML dataset, improving defect classification and water level classification by 5.3 and 8.0 percentage points, respectively. We also outperform the single task methods as well as other multi-task classification approaches while introducing 50 times fewer parameters than previous modelfocused approaches.
