Delving into Inter-Image Invariance for Unsupervised Visual Representations

Delving Deeper into Convolutional Networks for Learning Video Representations

We propose an approach to learn spatio-temporal features in videos from intermediate visual representations we call “percepts” using Gated-Recurrent-Unit Recurrent Networks (GRUs). Our method relies on percepts that are extracted from all levels of a deep convolutional network trained on the large ImageNet dataset. While high-level percepts contain highly discriminative information, they tend t...

Image representations for visual learning.

Computer vision researchers are developing new approaches to object recognition and detection that are based almost directly on images and avoid the use of intermediate three-dimensional models. Many of these techniques depend on a representation of images that induce a linear vector space structure and in principle requires dense feature correspondence. This image representation allows the use...

Unsupervised Learning of Visual Representations using Videos

This is a review of unsupervised learning applied to videos with the aim of learning visual representations. We look at different realizations of the notion of temporal coherence across various models. We try to understand the challenges being faced, the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches and identify directions for future work. Unsupervised Learning of Visual Representations usin...

Unsupervised learning of a steerable basis for invariant image representations

There are two aspects to unsupervised learning of invariant representations of images: First, we can reduce the dimensionality of the representation by finding an optimal trade-off between temporal stability and informativeness. We show that the answer to this optimization problem is generally not unique so that there is still considerable freedom in choosing a suitable basis. Which of the many...
