Dualformer: Local-Global Stratified Transformer For Efficient Video Recognition, Yuxuan Liang, Pan Zhou, Roger Zimmermann, Shuicheng Yan Oct 2022

Dualformer: Local-Global Stratified Transformer For Efficient Video Recognition, Yuxuan Liang, Pan Zhou, Roger Zimmermann, Shuicheng Yan

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

While transformers have shown great potential on video recognition with their strong capability of capturing long-range dependencies, they often suffer high computational costs induced by the self-attention to the huge number of 3D tokens. In this paper, we present a new transformer architecture termed DualFormer, which can efficiently perform space-time attention for video recognition. Concretely, DualFormer stratifies the full space-time attention into dual cascaded levels, i.e., to first learn fine-grained local interactions among nearby 3D tokens, and then to capture coarse-grained global dependencies between the query token and global pyramid contexts. Different from existing methods that apply space-time factorization or …

Cvfnet: Real-Time 3d Object Detection By Learning Cross View Features, Jiaqi Gu, Zhiyu Xiang, Pan Zhao, Tingming Bai, Lingxuan Wang, Xijun Zhao, Zhiyuan Zhang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

In recent years 3D object detection from LiDAR point clouds has made great progress thanks to the development of deep learning technologies. Although voxel or point based methods are popular in 3D object detection, they usually involve time-consuming operations such as 3D convolutions on voxels or ball query among points, making the resulting network inappropriate for time critical applications. On the other hand, 2D view-based methods feature high computing efficiency while usually obtaining inferior performance than the voxel or point based methods. In this work, we present a real-time view-based single stage 3D object detector, namely CVFNet to fulfill this …

Interactive Video Corpus Moment Retrieval Using Reinforcement Learning, Zhixin Ma, Chong-Wah Ngo Oct 2022

Interactive Video Corpus Moment Retrieval Using Reinforcement Learning, Zhixin Ma, Chong-Wah Ngo

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Known-item video search is effective with human-in-the-loop to interactively investigate the search result and refine the initial query. Nevertheless, when the first few pages of results are swamped with visually similar items, or the search target is hidden deep in the ranked list, finding the know-item target usually requires a long duration of browsing and result inspection. This paper tackles the problem by reinforcement learning, aiming to reach a search target within a few rounds of interaction by long-term learning from user feedbacks. Specifically, the system interactively plans for navigation path based on feedback and recommends a potential target that …

Pixel-Wise Energy-Biased Abstention Learning For Anomaly Segmentation On Complex Urban Driving Scenes, Yu Tian, Yuyuan Liu, Guansong Pang, Fengbei Liu, Yuanhong Chen, Gustavo Carneiro Oct 2022

Pixel-Wise Energy-Biased Abstention Learning For Anomaly Segmentation On Complex Urban Driving Scenes, Yu Tian, Yuyuan Liu, Guansong Pang, Fengbei Liu, Yuanhong Chen, Gustavo Carneiro

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

State-of-the-art (SOTA) anomaly segmentation approaches on complex urban driving scenes explore pixel-wise classification uncertainty learned from outlier exposure, or external reconstruction models. However, previous uncertainty approaches that directly associate high uncertainty to anomaly may sometimes lead to incorrect anomaly predictions, and external reconstruction models tend to be too inefficient for real-time self-driving embedded systems. In this paper, we propose a new anomaly segmentation method, named pixel-wise energy-biased abstention learning (PEBAL), that explores pixel-wise abstention learning (AL) with a model that learns an adaptive pixel-level anomaly class, and an energy-based model (EBM) that learns inlier pixel distribution. More specifically, PEBAL is …

Long-Term Leap Attention, Short-Term Periodic Shift For Video Classification, Hao Zhang, Lechao Cheng, Yanbin Hao, Chong-Wah Ngo Oct 2022

Long-Term Leap Attention, Short-Term Periodic Shift For Video Classification, Hao Zhang, Lechao Cheng, Yanbin Hao, Chong-Wah Ngo

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Video transformer naturally incurs a heavier computation burden than a static vision transformer, as the former processes �� times longer sequence than the latter under the current attention of quadratic complexity (�� 2�� 2 ). The existing works treat the temporal axis as a simple extension of spatial axes, focusing on shortening the spatio-temporal sequence by either generic pooling or local windowing without utilizing temporal redundancy. However, videos naturally contain redundant information between neighboring frames; thereby, we could potentially suppress attention on visually similar frames in a dilated manner. Based on this hypothesis, we propose the LAPS, a long-term “Leap …

Wave-Vit: Unifying Wavelet And Transformers For Visual Representation Learning, Ting Yao, Yingwei Pan, Yehao Li, Chong-Wah Ngo, Tao Mei Oct 2022

Wave-Vit: Unifying Wavelet And Transformers For Visual Representation Learning, Ting Yao, Yingwei Pan, Yehao Li, Chong-Wah Ngo, Tao Mei

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Multi-scale Vision Transformer (ViT) has emerged as a powerful backbone for computer vision tasks, while the self-attention computation in Transformer scales quadratically w.r.t. the input patch number. Thus, existing solutions commonly employ down-sampling operations (e.g., average pooling) over keys/values to dramatically reduce the computational cost. In this work, we argue that such over-aggressive down-sampling design is not invertible and inevitably causes information dropping especially for high-frequency components in objects (e.g., texture details). Motivated by the wavelet theory, we construct a new Wavelet Vision Transformer (Wave-ViT) that formulates the invertible down-sampling with wavelet transforms and self-attention learning in a unified way. …

Fair, Equitable, And Just: A Socio-Technical Approach To Online Safety, Daricia Wilkinson Jul 2022

Fair, Equitable, And Just: A Socio-Technical Approach To Online Safety, Daricia Wilkinson

All Dissertations

Socio-technical systems have been revolutionary in reshaping how people maintain relationships, learn about new opportunities, engage in meaningful discourse, and even express grief and frustrations. At the same time, these systems have been central in the proliferation of harmful behaviors online as internet users are confronted with serious and pervasive threats at alarming rates. Although researchers and companies have attempted to develop tools to mitigate threats, the perception of dominant (often Western) frameworks as the standard for the implementation of safety mechanisms fails to account for imbalances, inequalities, and injustices in non-Western civilizations like the Caribbean. Therefore, in this dissertation …

Reinforcement Learning-Based Interactive Video Search, Zhixin Ma, Jiaxin Wu, Zhijian Hou, Chong-Wah Ngo Jun 2022

Reinforcement Learning-Based Interactive Video Search, Zhixin Ma, Jiaxin Wu, Zhijian Hou, Chong-Wah Ngo

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Despite the rapid progress in text-to-video search due to the advancement of cross-modal representation learning, the existing techniques still fall short in helping users to rapidly identify the search targets. Particularly, in the situation that a system suggests a long list of similar candidates, the user needs to painstakingly inspect every search result. The experience is frustrated with repeated watching of similar clips, and more frustratingly, the search targets may be overlooked due to mental tiredness. This paper explores reinforcement learning-based (RL) searching to relieve the user from the burden of brute force inspection. Specifically, the system maintains a graph …

Multimodal Zero-Shot Hateful Meme Detection, Jiawen Zhu, Roy Ka-Wei Lee, Wen Haw Chong Jun 2022

Multimodal Zero-Shot Hateful Meme Detection, Jiawen Zhu, Roy Ka-Wei Lee, Wen Haw Chong

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Facebook has recently launched the hateful meme detection challenge, which garnered much attention in academic and industry research communities. Researchers have proposed multimodal deep learning classification methods to perform hateful meme detection. While the proposed methods have yielded promising results, these classification methods are mostly supervised and heavily rely on labeled data that are not always available in the real-world setting. Therefore, this paper explores and aims to perform hateful meme detection in a zero-shot setting. Working towards this goal, we propose Target-Aware Multimodal Enhancement (TAME), which is a novel deep generative framework that can improve existing hateful meme classification …

Group Contextualization For Video Recognition, Yanbin Hao, Hao Zhang, Chong-Wah Ngo, Xiangnan He

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Learning discriminative representation from the complex spatio-temporal dynamic space is essential for video recognition. On top of those stylized spatio-temporal computational units, further refining the learnt feature with axial contexts is demonstrated to be promising in achieving this goal. However, previous works generally focus on utilizing a single kind of contexts to calibrate entire feature channels and could hardly apply to deal with diverse video activities. The problem can be tackled by using pair-wise spatio-temporal attentions to recompute feature response with cross-axis contexts at the expense of heavy computations. In this paper, we propose an efficient feature refinement method that …

High-Resolution Face Swapping Via Latent Semantics Disentanglement, Yangyang Xu, Bailin Deng, Junle Wang, Yanqing Jing, Jia Pan, Shengfeng He Jun 2022

High-Resolution Face Swapping Via Latent Semantics Disentanglement, Yangyang Xu, Bailin Deng, Junle Wang, Yanqing Jing, Jia Pan, Shengfeng He

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

We present a novel high-resolution face swapping method using the inherent prior knowledge of a pre-trained GAN model. Although previous research can leverage generative priors to produce high-resolution results, their quality can suffer from the entangled semantics of the latent space. We explicitly disentangle the latent semantics by utilizing the progressive nature of the generator, deriving structure at-tributes from the shallow layers and appearance attributes from the deeper ones. Identity and pose information within the structure attributes are further separated by introducing a landmark-driven structure transfer latent direction. The disentangled latent code produces rich generative features that incorporate feature blending …

Mlp-3d: A Mlp-Like 3d Architecture With Grouped Time Mixing, Zhaofan Qiu, Ting Yao, Chong-Wah Ngo, Tao Mei

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been re-garded as the go-to models for visual recognition. More re-cently, convolution-free networks, based on multi-head self-attention (MSA) or multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs), become more and more popular. Nevertheless, it is not trivial when utilizing these newly-minted networks for video recognition due to the large variations and complexities in video data. In this paper, we present MLP-3D networks, a novel MLP-like 3D architecture for video recognition. Specifically, the architecture consists of MLP-3D blocks, where each block contains one MLP applied across tokens (i.e., token-mixing MLP) and one MLP applied independently to each token (i.e., channel MLP). …

Cross-Lingual Adaptation For Recipe Retrieval With Mixup, Bin Zhu, Chong-Wah Ngo, Jingjing Chen, Wing-Kwong Chan Jun 2022

Cross-Lingual Adaptation For Recipe Retrieval With Mixup, Bin Zhu, Chong-Wah Ngo, Jingjing Chen, Wing-Kwong Chan

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Cross-modal recipe retrieval has attracted research attention in recent years, thanks to the availability of large-scale paired data for training. Nevertheless, obtaining adequate recipe-image pairs covering the majority of cuisines for supervised learning is difficult if not impossible. By transferring knowledge learnt from a data-rich cuisine to a data-scarce cuisine, domain adaptation sheds light on this practical problem. Nevertheless, existing works assume recipes in source and target domains are mostly originated from the same cuisine and written in the same language. This paper studies unsupervised domain adaptation for image-to-recipe retrieval, where recipes in source and target domains are in different …

Gauging The State-Of-The-Art For Foresight Weight Pruning On Neural Networks, Noah James

Computer Science and Computer Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses

The state-of-the-art for pruning neural networks is ambiguous due to poor experimental practices in the field. Newly developed approaches rarely compare to each other, and when they do, their comparisons are lackluster or contain errors. In the interest of stabilizing the field of pruning, this paper initiates a dive into reproducing prominent pruning algorithms across several architectures and datasets. As a first step towards this goal, this paper shows results for foresight weight pruning across 6 baseline pruning strategies, 5 modern pruning strategies, random pruning, and one legacy method (Optimal Brain Damage). All strategies are evaluated on 3 different architectures …

Designing A Digital Interactive Emotion Measure (Diem) For Digital Media: Theoretical Foundations And Validation Protocols, Celeste Sangiorgio, Cassandra Berbary, Cory Crane, Caroline Easton

Frameless

Awareness of emotions is often a treatment target in psychotherapy, but it is difficult to assess emotions due to ambiguity in measurement or scale design. Lack of clarity in scale design may increase risk that participant interpretations of scale items may not align with emotion constructs those scales were designed to capture. Furthermore, emphasis on verbal or written cues leads to low scientific representation of patients who cannot read emotion scales (e.g., low literacy). Touch-screen applications provide a unique opportunity to create a visual emotion measure which has low barriers but can be used to assess a high level of …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

While Deep Neural Network (DNN) models have transformed machine vision capabilities, their extremely high computational complexity and model sizes present a formidable deployment roadblock for AIoT applications. We show that the complexity-vs-accuracy-vs-communication tradeoffs for such DNN models can be significantly addressed via a novel, lightweight form of “collaborative machine intelligence” that requires only runtime changes to the inference process. In our proposed approach, called ComAI, the DNN pipelines of different vision sensors share intermediate processing state with one another, effectively providing hints about objects located within their mutually-overlapping Field-of-Views (FoVs). CoMAI uses two novel techniques: (a) a secondary shallow ML …

Deconfounded Visual Grounding, Jianqiang Huang, Yu Qin, Jiaxin Qi, Qianru Sun, Hanwang Zhang Mar 2022

Deconfounded Visual Grounding, Jianqiang Huang, Yu Qin, Jiaxin Qi, Qianru Sun, Hanwang Zhang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

We focus on the confounding bias between language and location in the visual grounding pipeline, where we find that the bias is the major visual reasoning bottleneck. For example, the grounding process is usually a trivial languagelocation association without visual reasoning, e.g., grounding any language query containing sheep to the nearly central regions, due to that most queries about sheep have groundtruth locations at the image center. First, we frame the visual grounding pipeline into a causal graph, which shows the causalities among image, query, target location and underlying confounder. Through the causal graph, we know how to break the …

State Graph Reasoning For Multimodal Conversational Recommendation, Yuxia Wu, Lizi Liao, Gangyi Zhang, Wenqiang Lei, Guoshuai Zhao, Xueming Qian, Tat-Seng Chua

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Conversational recommendation system (CRS) attracts increasing attention in various application domains such as retail and travel. It offers an effective way to capture users’ dynamic preferences with multi-turn conversations. However, most current studies center on the recommendation aspect while over-simplifying the conversation process. The negligence of complexity in data structure and conversation flow hinders their practicality and utility. In reality, there exist various relationships among slots and values, while users’ requirements may dynamically adjust or change. Moreover, the conversation often involves visual modality to facilitate the conversation. These actually call for a more advanced internal state representation of the dialogue …

Debiasing Nlu Models Via Causal Intervention And Counterfactual Reasoning, Bing Tian, Yixin Cao, Yong Zhang, Chunxiao Xing Mar 2022

Debiasing Nlu Models Via Causal Intervention And Counterfactual Reasoning, Bing Tian, Yixin Cao, Yong Zhang, Chunxiao Xing

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Recent studies have shown that strong Natural Language Understanding (NLU) models are prone to relying on annotation biases of the datasets as a shortcut, which goes against the underlying mechanisms of the task of interest. To reduce such biases, several recent works introduce debiasing methods to regularize the training process of targeted NLU models. In this paper, we provide a new perspective with causal inference to fnd out the bias. On the one hand, we show that there is an unobserved confounder for the natural language utterances and their respective classes, leading to spurious correlations from training data. To remove …

Deep Graph-Level Anomaly Detection By Glocal Knowledge Distillation, Rongrong Ma, Guansong Pang, Ling Chen, Anton Van Den Hengel Feb 2022

Deep Graph-Level Anomaly Detection By Glocal Knowledge Distillation, Rongrong Ma, Guansong Pang, Ling Chen, Anton Van Den Hengel

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Graph-level anomaly detection (GAD) describes the problem of detecting graphs that are abnormal in their structure and/or the features of their nodes, as compared to other graphs. One of the challenges in GAD is to devise graph representations that enable the detection of both locally- and globally-anomalous graphs, i.e., graphs that are abnormal in their fine-grained (node-level) or holistic (graph-level) properties, respectively. To tackle this challenge we introduce a novel deep anomaly detection approach for GAD that learns rich global and local normal pattern information by joint random distillation of graph and node representations. The random distillation is achieved by …

Food retrieval is an important task to perform analysis of food-related information, where we are interested in retrieving relevant information about the queried food item such as ingredients, cooking instructions, etc. In this paper, we investigate cross-modal retrieval between food images and cooking recipes. The goal is to learn an embedding of images and recipes in a common feature space, such that the corresponding image-recipe embeddings lie close to one another. Two major challenges in addressing this problem are 1) large intra-variance and small inter-variance across cross-modal food data; and 2) difficulties in obtaining discriminative recipe representations. To address these …
