Addressing Ambiguity in Multi-target Tracking by Hierarchical Strategy

no code implementations30 May 2017 Ali Taalimi, Liu Liu, Hairong Qi

We use a network flow approach to link detections in low-level and tracklets in high-level.

Statistical inference using SGD

no code implementations21 May 2017 Tianyang Li, Liu Liu, Anastasios Kyrillidis, Constantine Caramanis

We present a novel method for frequentist statistical inference in $M$-estimation problems, based on stochastic gradient descent (SGD) with a fixed step size: we demonstrate that the average of such SGD sequences can be used for statistical inference, after proper scaling.

Multi-view (Joint) Probability Linear Discrimination Analysis for Multi-view Feature Verification

no code implementations20 Apr 2017 Ziqiang Shi, Liu Liu, Mengjiao Wang, Rujie Liu

However, in practical use, when using multi-task learned network as feature extractor, the extracted feature are always attached to several labels.
