Traditional approaches to integrating knowledge into neural network are concerned mainly about supervised learning. This paper presents how a family of self-organizing neural models known as fusion architecture for learning, cognition and navigation (FALCON) can incorporate a priori knowledge and perform knowledge refinement and expansion through reinforcement learning. Symbolic rules are formulated based on pre-existing know-how and inserted into FALCON as a priori knowledge. The availability of knowledge enables FALCON to start performing earlier in the initial learning trials. Through a temporal-difference (TD) learning method, the inserted rules can be refined and expanded according to the evaluative feedback signals received …

Face annotation in images and videos enjoys many potential applications in multimedia information retrieval. Face annotation usually requires many training data labeled by hand in order to build effective classifiers. This is particularly challenging when annotating faces on large-scale collections of media data, in which huge labeling efforts would be very expensive. As a result, traditional supervised face annotation methods often suffer from insufficient training data. To attack this challenge, in this paper, we propose a novel Transductive Kernel Fisher Discriminant (TKFD) scheme for face annotation, which outperforms traditional supervised annotation methods with few training data. The main idea of …
