This paper proposes a double-deep spatio-angular learning framework for light field based face recognition, which is able to learn both texture and angular dynamics in sequence using convolutional representations; this is a novel recognition framework that has never been proposed before for either face recognition or any other visual recognition task.

In experiments on the one billion words language modeling benchmark, we are able to slightly improve on our previous results which use a different loss function, and employ leave-one-out training on a subset of the main training set.

We apply this new method to learn first-order HMMs for unsupervised part-of-speech (POS) tagging, and show that HMMs learned this way consistently and significantly out-performs both EM-trained HMMs, and HMMs with a sparsity-inducing Dirichlet prior trained by variational EM.
