Offline Handwritten Signature verification presents a challenging Pattern Recognition problem, where only knowledge of the positive class is available for training. While classifiers have access to a few genuine signatures for training, during generalization they also need to discriminate forgeries. This is particularly challenging for skilled forgeries, where a forger practices imitating the users signature, and often is able to create forgeries visually close to the original signatures. Most work in the literature address this issue by training for a surrogate objective: discriminating genuine signatures of a user and random forgeries (signatures from other users). In this work, we propose a solution for this problem based on meta-learning, where there are two levels of learning: a task-level (where a task is to learn a classifier for a given user) and a meta-level (learning across tasks). In particular, the meta-learner guides the adaptation (learning) of a classifier for each user, which is a lightweight operation that only requires genuine signatures. The meta-learning procedure learns what is common for the classification across different users. In a scenario where skilled forgeries from a subset of users are available, the meta-learner can guide classifiers to be discriminative of skilled forgeries even if the classifiers themselves do not use skilled forgeries for learning. Experiments conducted on the GPDS-960 dataset show improved performance compared to Writer-Independent systems, and achieve results comparable to state-of-the-art Writer-Dependent systems in the regime of few samples per user (5 reference signatures).

The ability to walk in new scenarios is a key milestone on the path toward real-world applications of legged robots. In this work, we introduce Meta Strategy Optimization, a meta-learning algorithm for training policies with latent variable inputs th
at can quickly adapt to new scenarios with a handful of trials in the target environment. The key idea behind MSO is to expose the same adaptation process, Strategy Optimization (SO), to both the training and testing phases. This allows MSO to effectively learn locomotion skills as well as a latent space that is suitable for fast adaptation. We evaluate our method on a real quadruped robot and demonstrate successful adaptation in various scenarios, including sim-to-real transfer, walking with a weakened motor, or climbing up a slope. Furthermore, we quantitatively analyze the generalization capability of the trained policy in simulated environments. Both real and simulated experiments show that our method outperforms previous methods in adaptation to novel tasks.
Point signature, a representation describing the structural neighborhood of a point in 3D shapes, can be applied to establish correspondences between points in 3D shapes. Conventional methods apply a weight-sharing network, e.g., any kind of graph ne
ural networks, across all neighborhoods to directly generate point signatures and gain the generalization ability by extensive training over a large amount of training samples from scratch. However, these methods lack the flexibility in rapidly adapting to unseen neighborhood structures and thus generalizes poorly on new point sets. In this paper, we propose a novel meta-learning based 3D point signature model, named 3Dmetapointsignature (MEPS) network, that is capable of learning robust point signatures in 3D shapes. By regarding each point signature learning process as a task, our method obtains an optimized model over the best performance on the distribution of all tasks, generating reliable signatures for new tasks, i.e., signatures of unseen point neighborhoods. Specifically, the MEPS consists of two modules: a base signature learner and a meta signature learner. During training, the base-learner is trained to perform specific signature learning tasks. In the meantime, the meta-learner is trained to update the base-learner with optimal parameters. During testing, the meta-learner that is learned with the distribution of all tasks can adaptively change parameters of the base-learner, accommodating to unseen local neighborhoods. We evaluate the MEPS model on two datasets, e.g., FAUST and TOSCA, for dense 3Dshape correspondence. Experimental results demonstrate that our method not only gains significant improvements over the baseline model and achieves state-of-the-art results, but also is capable of handling unseen 3D shapes.
Offline Signature Verification (OSV) remains a challenging pattern recognition task, especially in the presence of skilled forgeries that are not available during the training. This challenge is aggravated when there are small labeled training data a
vailable but with large intra-personal variations. In this study, we address this issue by employing an active learning approach, which selects the most informative instances to label and therefore reduces the human labeling effort significantly. Our proposed OSV includes three steps: feature learning, active learning, and final verification. We benefit from transfer learning using a pre-trained CNN for feature learning. We also propose SVM-based active learning for each user to separate his genuine signatures from the random forgeries. We finally used the SVMs to verify the authenticity of the questioned signature. We examined our proposed active transfer learning method on UTSig: A Persian offline signature dataset. We achieved near 13% improvement compared to the random selection of instances. Our results also showed 1% improvement over the state-of-the-art method in which a fully supervised setting with five more labeled instances per user was used.
This paper improves state-of-the-art visual object trackers that use online adaptation. Our core contribution is an offline meta-learning-based method to adjust the initial deep networks used in online adaptation-based tracking. The meta learning is
driven by the goal of deep networks that can quickly be adapted to robustly model a particular target in future frames. Ideally the resulting models focus on features that are useful for future frames, and avoid overfitting to background clutter, small parts of the target, or noise. By enforcing a small number of update iterations during meta-learning, the resulting networks train significantly faster. We demonstrate this approach on top of the high performance tracking approaches: tracking-by-detection based MDNet and the correlation based CREST. Experimental results on standard benchmarks, OTB2015 and VOT2016, show that our meta-learn
This paper studies fast adaptive beamforming optimization for the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio balancing problem in a multiuser multiple-input single-output downlink system. Existing deep learning based approaches to predict beamforming re
ly on the assumption that the training and testing channels follow the same distribution which may not hold in practice. As a result, a trained model may lead to performance deterioration when the testing network environment changes. To deal with this task mismatch issue, we propose two offline adaptive algorithms based on deep transfer learning and meta-learning, which are able to achieve fast adaptation with the limited new labelled data when the testing wireless environment changes. Furthermore, we propose an online algorithm to enhance the adaptation capability of the offline meta algorithm in realistic non-stationary environments. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed adaptive algorithms achieve much better performance than the direct deep learning algorithm without adaptation in new environments. The meta-learning algorithm outperforms the deep transfer learning algorithm and achieves near optimal performance. In addition, compared to the offline meta-learning algorithm, the proposed online meta-learning algorithm shows superior adaption performance in changing environments.
