Learning Invariant Feature Hierarchies
نویسنده
چکیده
Fast visual recognition in the mammalian cortex seems to be a hierarchical process by which the representation of the visual world is transformed in multiple stages from low-level retinotopic features to high-level, global and invariant features, and to object categories. Every single step in this hierarchy seems to be subject to learning. How does the visual cortex learn such hierarchical representations by just looking at the world? How could computers learn such representations from data? Computer vision models that are weakly inspired by the visual cortex will be described. A number of unsupervised learning algorithms to train these models will be presented, which are based on the sparse auto-encoder concept. The effectiveness of these algorithms for learning invariant feature hierarchies will be demonstrated with a number of practical tasks such as scene parsing, pedestrian detection, and object classification.

Learning Feature Hierarchies for Object Recognition
In this thesis we study unsupervised learning algorithms for training feature extractors and building deep learning models. We propose sparse-modeling algorithms as the foundation for unsupervised feature extraction systems. To reduce the cost of the inference process required to obtain the optimal sparse code, we model a feed-forward function that is trained to predict this optimal sparse code...
متن کاملImportance of Cross-Layer Cooperation for Learning Deep Feature Hierarchies
A common property of hierarchical models of the brain is their capacity to integrate bottom-up and top-down information in order to distill the task-relevant information from the sensory noise. In this paper, we argue that such cooperation between upper and lower layers is not only useful at prediction time but also at learning time in order to build a successful feature hierarchy. The claim is...
متن کاملUnsupervised Feature Learning in Computer Vision
Much of computer vision has been devoted to the question of representation through feature extraction. Ideal features transform raw pixel intensity values to a representation in which common problems such as object identification, tracking, and segmentation are easier to solve. Recently, deep feature hierarchies have proven to be immensely successful at solving many problems in computer vision....
متن کاملEvolutionary Learning of Feature Fusion Hierarchies
We present a hierarchical feature fusion model for image classification that is constructed by an evolutionary learning algorithm. The model has the ability to combine local patches whose location, width and height are automatically determined during learning. The representational framework takes the form of a two-level hierarchy which combines feature fusion and decision fusion into a unified ...
متن کاملLearning to Linearize Under Uncertainty
Training deep feature hierarchies to solve supervised learning tasks has achieved state of the art performance on many problems in computer vision. However, a principled way in which to train such hierarchies in the unsupervised setting has remained elusive. In this work we suggest a new architecture and loss for training deep feature hierarchies that linearize the transformations observed in u...
