Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

Pose based human activity recognition is an important step towards video understanding. The last decade has witnessed the great progress in this field which is driven by multiple technical innovations, i.e., kinect, pose estimation techniques, deep learning, etc.


Efficient Detection Of Diseases By Feature Engineering Approach From Chest Radiograph, Avishek Mukherjee Jan 2019

Efficient Detection Of Diseases By Feature Engineering Approach From Chest Radiograph, Avishek Mukherjee

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

Deep Learning is the new state-of-the-art technology in Image Processing. We applied Deep Learning techniques for identification of diseases from Radiographs made publicly available by NIH. We applied some Feature Engineering approach to augment the data from Anterior-Posterior position to Posterior-Anterior position and vice-versa for all the diseases, at the same point we suppressed ‘No Finding’ radiographs which contributed to more than 50% (approximately 60,000) of the dataset to top 1000 images. We also prepared a model by adding a huge amount of noise to the augmented data, which if need be can be deployed at rural locations which lack …

Emotion Forecasting In Dyadic Conversation : Characterizing And Predicting Future Emotion With Audio-Visual Information Using Deep Learning, Sadat Shahriar Jan 2019

Emotion Forecasting In Dyadic Conversation : Characterizing And Predicting Future Emotion With Audio-Visual Information Using Deep Learning, Sadat Shahriar

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

Emotion forecasting is the task of predicting the future emotion of a speaker, i.e., the emotion label of the future speaking turn–based on the speaker’s past and current audio-visual cues. Emotion forecasting systems require new problem formulations that differ from traditional emotion recognition systems. In this thesis, we first explore two types of forecasting windows(i.e., analysis windows for which the speaker’s emotion is being forecasted): utterance forecasting and time forecasting. Utterance forecasting is based on speaking turns and forecasts what the speaker’s emotion will be after one, two, or three speaking turns. Time forecasting forecasts what the speaker’s emotion will …


Optimization Methods For Learning Graph-Structured Sparse Models, Baojian Zhou Jan 2019

Optimization Methods For Learning Graph-Structured Sparse Models, Baojian Zhou

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

Learning graph-structured sparse models has recently received significant attention thanks to their broad applicability to many important real-world problems. However, such models, of more effective and stronger interpretability compared with their counterparts, are difficult to learn due to optimization challenges. This thesis presents optimization algorithms for learning graph-structured sparse models under three different problem settings. Firstly, under the batch learning setting, we develop methods that can be applied to different objective functions that enjoy linear convergence guarantees up to constant errors. They can effectively optimize the statistical score functions in the task of subgraph detection; Secondly, under stochastic learning setting, …
