In this paper, we propose a novel image process scheme called class-based expansion learning for image classification, which aims at improving the supervision-stimulation frequency for the samples of the confusing classes. Class-based expansion learning takes a bottom-up growing strategy in a class-based expansion optimization fashion, which pays more attention to the quality of learning the fine-grained classification boundaries for the preferentially selected classes. Besides, we develop a class confusion criterion to select the confusing class preferentially for training. In this way, the classification boundaries of the confusing classes are frequently stimulated, resulting in a fine-grained form. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme on several benchmarks.

The formulation of the hazy image is mainly dominated by the reflected lights and ambient airlight. Existing dehazing methods often ignore the depth cues and fail in distant areas where heavier haze disturbs the visibility. However, we note that the
guidance of the depth information for transmission estimation could remedy the decreased visibility as distances increase. In turn, the good transmission estimation could facilitate the depth estimation for hazy images. In this paper, a deep end-to-end model that iteratively estimates image depths and transmission maps is proposed to perform an effective depth prediction for hazy images and improve the dehazing performance with the guidance of depth information. The image depth and transmission map are progressively refined to better restore the dehazed image. Our approach benefits from explicitly modeling the inner relationship of image depth and transmission map, which is especially effective for distant hazy areas. Extensive results on the benchmarks demonstrate that our proposed network performs favorably against the state-of-the-art dehazing methods in terms of depth estimation and haze removal.
New categories can be discovered by transforming semantic features into synthesized visual features without corresponding training samples in zero-shot image classification. Although significant progress has been made in generating high-quality synth
esized visual features using generative adversarial networks, guaranteeing semantic consistency between the semantic features and visual features remains very challenging. In this paper, we propose a novel zero-shot learning approach, GAN-CST, based on class knowledge to visual feature learning to tackle the problem. The approach consists of three parts, class knowledge overlay, semi-supervised learning and triplet loss. It applies class knowledge overlay (CKO) to obtain knowledge not only from the corresponding class but also from other classes that have the knowledge overlay. It ensures that the knowledge-to-visual learning process has adequate information to generate synthesized visual features. The approach also applies a semi-supervised learning process to re-train knowledge-to-visual model. It contributes to reinforcing synthesized visual features generation as well as new category prediction. We tabulate results on a number of benchmark datasets demonstrating that the proposed model delivers superior performance over state-of-the-art approaches.
With the memory-resource-limited constraints, class-incremental learning (CIL) usually suffers from the catastrophic forgetting problem when updating the joint classification model on the arrival of newly added classes. To cope with the forgetting pr
oblem, many CIL methods transfer the knowledge of old classes by preserving some exemplar samples into the size-constrained memory buffer. To utilize the memory buffer more efficiently, we propose to keep more auxiliary low-fidelity exemplar samples rather than the original real high-fidelity exemplar samples. Such a memory-efficient exemplar preserving scheme makes the old-class knowledge transfer more effective. However, the low-fidelity exemplar samples are often distributed in a different domain away from that of the original exemplar samples, that is, a domain shift. To alleviate this problem, we propose a duplet learning scheme that seeks to construct domain-compatible feature extractors and classifiers, which greatly narrows down the above domain gap. As a result, these low-fidelity auxiliary exemplar samples have the ability to moderately replace the original exemplar samples with a lower memory cost. In addition, we present a robust classifier adaptation scheme, which further refines the biased classifier (learned with the samples containing distillation label knowledge about old classes) with the help of the samples of pure true class labels. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of this work against the state-of-the-art approaches.
The development of deep convolutional neural network architecture is critical to the improvement of image classification task performance. A lot of studies of image classification based on deep convolutional neural network focus on the network struct
ure to improve the image classification performance. Contrary to these studies, we focus on the loss function. Cross-entropy Loss (CEL) is widely used for training a multi-class classification deep convolutional neural network. While CEL has been successfully implemented in image classification tasks, it only focuses on the posterior probability of correct class when the labels of training images are one-hot. It cannot be discriminated against the classes not belong to correct class (wrong classes) directly. In order to solve the problem of CEL, we propose Competing Ratio Loss (CRL), which calculates the posterior probability ratio between the correct class and competing wrong classes to better discriminate the correct class from competing wrong classes, increasing the difference between the negative log likelihood of the correct class and the negative log likelihood of competing wrong classes, widening the difference between the probability of the correct class and the probabilities of wrong classes. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our loss function, we perform some sets of experiments on different types of image classification datasets, including CIFAR, SVHN, CUB200- 2011, Adience and ImageNet datasets. The experimental results show the effectiveness and robustness of our loss function on different deep convolutional neural network architectures and different image classification tasks, such as fine-grained image classification, hard face age estimation and large-scale image classification.
The development of deep convolutional neural network architecture is critical to the improvement of image classification task performance. Many image classification studies use deep convolutional neural network and focus on modifying the network stru
cture to improve image classification performance. Conversely, our study focuses on loss function design. Cross-entropy Loss (CEL) has been widely used for training deep convolutional neural network for the task of multi-class classification. Although CEL has been successfully implemented in several image classification tasks, it only focuses on the posterior probability of the correct class. For this reason, a negative log likelihood ratio loss (NLLR) was proposed to better differentiate between the correct class and the competing incorrect ones. However, during the training of the deep convolutional neural network, the value of NLLR is not always positive or negative, which severely affects the convergence of NLLR. Our proposed competing ratio loss (CRL) calculates the posterior probability ratio between the correct class and the competing incorrect classes to further enlarge the probability difference between the correct and incorrect classes. We added hyperparameters to CRL, thereby ensuring its value to be positive and that the update size of backpropagation is suitable for the CRLs fast convergence. To demonstrate the performance of CRL, we conducted experiments on general image classification tasks (CIFAR10/100, SVHN, ImageNet), the fine-grained image classification tasks (CUB200-2011 and Stanford Car), and the challenging face age estimation task (using Adience). Experimental results show the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed loss function on different deep convolutional neural network architectures and different image classification tasks.
