چکیده

The objective of this paper is to automatically annotate images of gods and animals in decorations on classical Greek vases. Such images often require expert knowledge in labelling. We start from a large dataset of images of vases with associated brief text descriptions. We develop a weakly supervised learning approach to solve the correspondence problem between the descriptions and unknown image regions. The approach progressively strengthens the supervision so that eventually a Deformable Part Model (DPM) sliding window detector can be learnt (for each god/animal) and used to annotate all vases by detection. There are two key steps: first, text mining the vase descriptions to obtain clusters for each god where there is a visual consistency between at least a subset of the images; and second, discriminatively searching within these clusters for consistent regions that are used as positive training examples for the DPM. The method successfully annotates a large variety of Gods and other animals, and we include a quantitative evaluation over hundreds of images.

β-risk: a New Surrogate Risk for Learning from Weakly Labeled Data

During the past few years, the machine learning community has paid attention to developing new methods for learning from weakly labeled data. This field covers different settings like semi-supervised learning, learning with label proportions, multi-instance learning, noise-tolerant learning, etc. This paper presents a generic framework to deal with these weakly labeled scenarios. We introduce t...

INTEGRATED ADAPTIVE FUZZY CLUSTERING (IAFC) NEURAL NETWORKS USING FUZZY LEARNING RULES

The proposed IAFC neural networks have both stability and plasticity because theyuse a control structure similar to that of the ART-1(Adaptive Resonance Theory) neural network.The unsupervised IAFC neural network is the unsupervised neural network which uses the fuzzyleaky learning rule. This fuzzy leaky learning rule controls the updating amounts by fuzzymembership values. The supervised IAFC ...

Generalized Expectation Criteria for Semi-Supervised Learning with Weakly Labeled Data

In this paper, we present an overview of generalized expectation criteria (GE), a simple, robust, scalable method for semi-supervised training using weakly-labeled data. GE fits model parameters by favoring models that match certain expectation constraints, such as marginal label distributions, on the unlabeled data. This paper shows how to apply generalized expectation criteria to two classes ...

Selective Weakly Supervised Human Detection under Arbitrary Poses

In this paper we study the problem of weakly supervised human detection under arbitrary poses within the framework of multi-instance learning (MIL). Our contributions are threefold: (1) we first show that in the context of weakly supervised learning, some commonly used bagging tools in MIL such as the Noisy-OR model or the ISR model tend to suffer from the problem of gradient magnitude reductio...
