  Title Deep Inference of Personality Traits by Integrating Image and Word Use in Social Networks Type Miscellaneous
  Year (down) 2018 Publication Arxiv Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract arXiv:1802.06757
Social media, as a major platform for communication and information exchange, is a rich repository of the opinions and sentiments of 2.3 billion users about a vast spectrum of topics. To sense the whys of certain social user’s demands and cultural-driven interests, however, the knowledge embedded in the 1.8 billion pictures which are uploaded daily in public profiles has just started to be exploited since this process has been typically been text-based. Following this trend on visual-based social analysis, we present a novel methodology based on Deep Learning to build a combined image-and-text based personality trait model, trained with images posted together with words found highly correlated to specific personality traits. So the key contribution here is to explore whether OCEAN personality trait modeling can be addressed based on images, here called MindPics, appearing with certain tags with psychological insights. We found that there is a correlation between those posted images and their accompanying texts, which can be successfully modeled using deep neural networks for personality estimation. The experimental results are consistent with previous cyber-psychology results based on texts or images.
In addition, classification results on some traits show that some patterns emerge in the set of images corresponding to a specific text, in essence to those representing an abstract concept. These results open new avenues of research for further refining the proposed personality model under the supervision of psychology experts.

  Title Re-ID done right: towards good practices for person re-identification Type Miscellaneous
  Year (down) 2018 Publication Arxiv Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Training a deep architecture using a ranking loss has become standard for the person re-identification task. Increasingly, these deep architectures include additional components that leverage part detections, attribute predictions, pose estimators and other auxiliary information, in order to more effectively localize and align discriminative image regions. In this paper we adopt a different approach and carefully design each component of a simple deep architecture and, critically, the strategy for training it effectively for person re-identification. We extensively evaluate each design choice, leading to a list of good practices for person re-identification. By following these practices, our approach outperforms the state of the art, including more complex methods with auxiliary components, by large margins on four benchmark datasets. We also provide a qualitative analysis of our trained representation which indicates that, while compact, it is able to capture information from localized and discriminative regions, in a manner akin to an implicit attention mechanism.

  Title End-to-end semantic face segmentation with conditional random fields as convolutional, recurrent and adversarial networks Type Miscellaneous
  Year (down) 2017 Publication Arxiv Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract arXiv:1703.03305
Recent years have seen a sharp increase in the number of related yet distinct advances in semantic segmentation. Here, we tackle this problem by leveraging the respective strengths of these advances. That is, we formulate a conditional random field over a four-connected graph as end-to-end trainable convolutional and recurrent networks, and estimate them via an adversarial process. Importantly, our model learns not only unary potentials but also pairwise
potentials, while aggregating multi-scale contexts and controlling higher-order inconsistencies.
We evaluate our model on two standard benchmark datasets for semantic face segmentation, achieving state-of-the-art results on both of them.

  Title Node-Adapt, Path-Adapt and Tree-Adapt:Model-Transfer Domain Adaptation for Random Forest Type Miscellaneous
  Year (down) 2016 Publication Arxiv Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Domain Adaptation; Pedestrian detection; Random Forest  
  Abstract Random Forest (RF) is a successful paradigm for learning classifiers due to its ability to learn from large feature spaces and seamlessly integrate multi-class classification, as well as the achieved accuracy and processing efficiency. However, as many other classifiers, RF requires domain adaptation (DA) provided that there is a mismatch between the training (source) and testing (target) domains which provokes classification degradation. Consequently, different RF-DA methods have been proposed, which not only require target-domain samples but revisiting the source-domain ones, too. As novelty, we propose three inherently different methods (Node-Adapt, Path-Adapt and Tree-Adapt) that only require the learned source-domain RF and a relatively few target-domain samples for DA, i.e. source-domain samples do not need to be available. To assess the performance of our proposals we focus on image-based object detection, using the pedestrian detection problem as challenging proof-of-concept. Moreover, we use the RF with expert nodes because it is a competitive patch-based pedestrian model. We test our Node-, Path- and Tree-Adapt methods in standard benchmarks, showing that DA is largely achieved.

  Title An Effective Solution to Double Counting Problem in Human Pose Estimation Type Miscellaneous
  Year (down) 2015 Publication Arxiv Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Pose estimation; double counting problem; mix-ture of parts Model  
  Abstract The mixture of parts model has been successfully applied to solve the 2D
human pose estimation problem either as an explicitly trained body part model
or as latent variables for pedestrian detection. Even in the era of massive
applications of deep learning techniques, the mixture of parts model is still
effective in solving certain problems, especially in the case with limited
numbers of training samples. In this paper, we consider using the mixture of
parts model for pose estimation, wherein a tree structure is utilized for
representing relations between connected body parts. This strategy facilitates
training and inferencing of the model but suffers from double counting
problems, where one detected body part is counted twice due to lack of
constrains among unconnected body parts. To solve this problem, we propose a
generalized solution in which various part attributes are captured by multiple
features so as to avoid the double counted problem. Qualitative and
quantitative experimental results on a public available dataset demonstrate the
effectiveness of our proposed method.

  Title Multi-Face Tracking by Extended Bag-of-Tracklets in Egocentric Videos Type Miscellaneous
  Year (down) 2015 Publication Arxiv Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Egocentric images offer a hands-free way to record daily experiences and special events, where social interactions are of special interest. A natural question that arises is how to extract and track the appearance of multiple persons in a social event captured by a wearable camera. In this paper, we propose a novel method to find correspondences of multiple-faces in low temporal resolution egocentric sequences acquired through a wearable camera. This kind of sequences imposes additional challenges to the multitracking problem with respect to conventional videos. Due to the free motion of the camera and to its low temporal resolution (2 fpm), abrupt changes in the field of view, in illumination conditions and in the target location are very frequent. To overcome such a difficulty, we propose to generate, for each detected face, a set of correspondences along the whole sequence that we call tracklet and to take advantage of their redundancy to deal with both false positive face detections and unreliable tracklets. Similar tracklets are grouped into the so called extended bag-of-tracklets (eBoT), which are aimed to correspond to specific persons. Finally, a prototype tracklet is extracted for each eBoT. We validated our method over a dataset of 18.000 images from 38 egocentric sequences with 52 trackable persons and compared to the state-of-the-art methods, demonstrating its effectiveness and robustness.

  Abstract CoRR abs/1402.5766
We propose a meta-parameter free, off-the-shelf, simple and fast unsupervised feature learning algorithm, which exploits a new way of optimizing for sparsity. Experiments on STL-10 show that the method presents state-of-the-art performance and provides discriminative features that generalize well.
