Improving Visual Recognition With Unlabeled Data, Aruni Roy Chowdhury
Improving Visual Recognition With Unlabeled Data, Aruni Roy Chowdhury
Doctoral Dissertations
The success of deep neural networks has resulted in computer vision systems that obtain high accuracy on a wide variety of tasks such as image classification, object detection, semantic segmentation, etc. However, most state-of-the-art vision systems are dependent upon large amounts of labeled training data, which is not a scalable solution in the long run. This work focuses on improving existing models for visual object recognition and detection without being dependent on such large-scale human-annotated data. We first show how large numbers of hard examples (cases where an existing model makes a mistake) can be obtained automatically from unlabeled video …
Higher-Order Representations For Visual Recognition, Tsung-Yu Lin
Higher-Order Representations For Visual Recognition, Tsung-Yu Lin
Doctoral Dissertations
In this thesis, we present a simple and effective architecture called Bilinear Convolutional Neural Networks (B-CNNs). These networks represent an image as a pooled outer product of features derived from two CNNs and capture localized feature interactions in a translationally invariant manner. B-CNNs generalize classical orderless texture-based image models such as bag-of-visual-words and Fisher vector representations. However, unlike prior work, they can be trained in an end-to-end manner. In the experiments, we demonstrate that these representations generalize well to novel domains by fine-tuning and achieve excellent results on fine-grained, texture and scene recognition tasks. The visualization of fine-tuned convolutional filters …

Improving Face Clustering In Videos, Souyoung Jin
Doctoral Dissertations
Human faces represent not only a challenging recognition problem for computer vision, but are also an important source of information about identity, intent, and state of mind. These properties make the analysis of faces important not just as algorithmic challenges, but as a gateway to developing computer vision methods that can better follow the intent and goals of human beings. In this thesis, we are interested in face clustering in videos. Given a raw video, with no caption or annotation, we want to group all detected faces by their identity. We address three problems in the area of face clustering …

Deep Learning For Digitized Histology Image Analysis, Sudhir Sornapudi
Doctoral Dissertations
“Cervical cancer is the fourth most frequent cancer that affects women worldwide. Assessment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) through histopathology remains as the standard for absolute determination of cancer. The examination of tissue samples under a microscope requires considerable time and effort from expert pathologists. There is a need to design an automated tool to assist pathologists for digitized histology slide analysis. Pre-cervical cancer is generally determined by examining the CIN which is the growth of atypical cells from the basement membrane (bottom) to the top of the epithelium. It has four grades, including: Normal, CIN1, CIN2, and CIN3. In …
