Learning Image Attributes using the Indian Buffet Process
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the domain of object recognition and image classification, a recent trend is to use image properties or attributes to represent the images. Most of the proposed models in the past require that the number of attributes and attribute semantics be specified in advance. In this paper, we propose a generative model for image attributes that combine attribute-based vision models and feature-based nonparamatric models. We learn the model using Gibbs sampling. Qualitatively, we demonstrate the learned attributes of images in three categories. Quantitatively, we show that our model outperforms simple baseline methods in image retrieval and transfer learning tasks.

The Indian Buffet Process: An Introduction and Review
The Indian buffet process is a stochastic process defining a probability distribution over equivalence classes of sparse binary matrices with a finite number of rows and an unbounded number of columns. This distribution is suitable for use as a prior in probabilistic models that represent objects using a potentially infinite array of features, or that involve bipartite graphs in which the size ...
متن کاملLearning the Structure of Probabilistic Graphical Models with an Extended Cascading Indian Buffet Process
This paper presents an extension of the cascading Indian buffet process (CIBP) intended to learning arbitrary directed acyclic graph structures as opposed to the CIBP, which is limited to purely layered structures. The extended cascading Indian buffet process (eCIBP) essentially consists in adding an extra sampling step to the CIBP to generate connections between non-consecutive layers. In the ...
متن کاملLearning invariant features using the Transformed Indian Buffet Process
Identifying the features of objects becomes a challenge when those features can change in their appearance. We introduce the Transformed Indian Buffet Process (tIBP), and use it to define a nonparametric Bayesian model that infers features that can transform across instantiations. We show that this model can identify features that are location invariant by modeling a previous experiment on huma...
متن کاملIndian Buffet Process Dictionary Learning : algorithms
Ill-posed inverse problems call for some prior model to define a suitable set of solutions. A wide family of approaches relies on the use of sparse representations. Dictionary learning precisely permits to learn a redundant set of atoms to represent the data in a sparse manner. Various approaches have been proposed, mostly based on optimization methods. We propose a Bayesian non parametric appr...
متن کاملModeling Images using Transformed Indian Buffet Processes
Latent feature models are attractive for image modeling, since images generally contain multiple objects. However, many latent feature models ignore that objects can appear at different locations or require pre-segmentation of images. While the transformed Indian buffet process (tIBP) provides a method for modeling transformation-invariant features in unsegmented binary images, its current form...
