Rather than simply recognizing the action of a person individually, collective activity recognition aims to find out what a group of people is acting in a collective scene. Previ- ous state-of-the-art methods using hand-crafted potentials in conventional graphical model which can only define a limited range of relations. Thus, the complex structural de- pendencies among individuals involved in a collective sce- nario cannot be fully modeled. In this paper, we overcome these limitations by embedding latent variables into feature space and learning the feature mapping functions in a deep learning framework. The embeddings of latent variables build a global relation containing person-group interac- tions and richer contextual information by jointly modeling broader range of individuals. Besides, we assemble atten- tion mechanism during embedding for achieving more com- pact representations. We evaluate our method on three col- lective activity datasets, where we contribute a much larger dataset in this work. The proposed model has achieved clearly better performance as compared to the state-of-the- art methods in our experiments.

A significant challenge for a supervised learning approach to inertial human activity recognition is the heterogeneity of data between individual users, resulting in very poor performance of impersonal algorithms for some subjects. We present an appr oach to personalized activity recognition based on deep embeddings derived from a fully convolutional neural network. We experiment with both categorical cross entropy loss and triplet loss for training the embedding, and describe a novel triplet loss function based on subject triplets. We evaluate these methods on three publicly available inertial human activity recognition data sets (MHEALTH, WISDM, and SPAR) comparing classification accuracy, out-of-distribution activity detection, and embedding generalization to new activities. The novel subject triplet loss provides the best performance overall, and all personalized deep embeddings out-perform our baseline personalized engineered feature embedding and an impersonal fully convolutional neural network classifier.
A formal autism diagnosis is an inefficient and lengthy process. Families often have to wait years before receiving a diagnosis for their child; some may not receive one at all due to this delay. One approach to this problem is to use digital technol ogies to detect the presence of behaviors related to autism, which in aggregate may lead to remote and automated diagnostics. One of the strongest indicators of autism is stimming, which is a set of repetitive, self-stimulatory behaviors such as hand flapping, headbanging, and spinning. Using computer vision to detect hand flapping is especially difficult due to the sparsity of public training data in this space and excessive shakiness and motion in such data. Our work demonstrates a novel method that overcomes these issues: we use hand landmark detection over time as a feature representation which is then fed into a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model. We achieve a validation accuracy and F1 Score of about 72% on detecting whether videos from the Self-Stimulatory Behaviour Dataset (SSBD) contain hand flapping or not. Our best model also predicts accurately on external videos we recorded of ourselves outside of the dataset it was trained on. This model uses less than 26,000 parameters, providing promise for fast deployment into ubiquitous and wearable digital settings for a remote autism diagnosis.
The goal of this work is to bring semantics into the tasks of text recognition and retrieval in natural images. Although text recognition and retrieval have received a lot of attention in recent years, previous works have focused on recognizing or re trieving exactly the same word used as a query, without taking the semantics into consideration. In this paper, we ask the following question: emph{can we predict semantic concepts directly from a word image, without explicitly trying to transcribe the word image or its characters at any point?} For this goal we propose a convolutional neural network (CNN) with a weighted ranking loss objective that ensures that the concepts relevant to the query image are ranked ahead of those that are not relevant. This can also be interpreted as learning a Euclidean space where word images and concepts are jointly embedded. This model is learned in an end-to-end manner, from image pixels to semantic concepts, using a dataset of synthetically generated word images and concepts mined from a lexical database (WordNet). Our results show that, despite the complexity of the task, word images and concepts can indeed be associated with a high degree of accuracy
The need to address the scarcity of task-specific annotated data has resulted in concerted efforts in recent years for specific settings such as zero-shot learning (ZSL) and domain generalization (DG), to separately address the issues of semantic shi ft and domain shift, respectively. However, real-world applications often do not have constrained settings and necessitate handling unseen classes in unseen domains -- a setting called Zero-shot Domain Generalization, which presents the issues of domain and semantic shifts simultaneously. In this work, we propose a novel approach that learns domain-agnostic structured latent embeddings by projecting images from different domains as well as class-specific semantic text-based representations to a common latent space. In particular, our method jointly strives for the following objectives: (i) aligning the multimodal cues from visual and text-based semantic concepts; (ii) partitioning the common latent space according to the domain-agnostic class-level semantic concepts; and (iii) learning a domain invariance w.r.t the visual-semantic joint distribution for generalizing to unseen classes in unseen domains. Our experiments on the challenging DomainNet and DomainNet-LS benchmarks show the superiority of our approach over existing methods, with significant gains on difficult domains like quickdraw and sketch.
As autonomous decision-making agents move from narrow operating environments to unstructured worlds, learning systems must move from a closed-world formulation to an open-world and few-shot setting in which agents continuously learn new classes from small amounts of information. This stands in stark contrast to modern machine learning systems that are typically designed with a known set of classes and a large number of examples for each class. In this work we extend embedding-based few-shot learning algorithms to the open-world recognition setting. We combine Bayesian non-parametric class priors with an embedding-based pre-training scheme to yield a highly flexible framework which we refer to as few-shot learning for open world recognition (FLOWR). We benchmark our framework on open-world extensions of the common MiniImageNet and TieredImageNet few-shot learning datasets. Our results show, compared to prior methods, strong classification accuracy performance and up to a 12% improvement in H-measure (a measure of novel class detection) from our non-parametric open-world few-shot learning scheme.
