A Double-Deep Spatio-Angular Learning Framework for Light Field based Face Recognition

no code implementations25 May 2018 Alireza Sepas-Moghaddam, Mohammad A. Haque, Paulo Lobato Correia, Kamal Nasrollahi, Thomas B. Moeslund, Fernando Pereira

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.

Multinomial Loss on Held-out Data for the Sparse Non-negative Matrix Language Model

no code implementations5 Nov 2015 Ciprian Chelba, Fernando Pereira

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.

Posterior vs Parameter Sparsity in Latent Variable Models

no code implementations NeurIPS 2009 Kuzman Ganchev, Ben Taskar, Fernando Pereira, João Gama

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.

Exact Convex Confidence-Weighted Learning

no code implementations NeurIPS 2008 Koby Crammer, Mark Dredze, Fernando Pereira

Confidence-weighted (CW) learning [6], an online learning method for linear classifiers, maintains a Gaussian distributions over weight vectors, with a covariance matrix that represents uncertainty about weights and correlations.

Learning Bounds for Domain Adaptation

no code implementations NeurIPS 2007 John Blitzer, Koby Crammer, Alex Kulesza, Fernando Pereira, Jennifer Wortman

Empirical risk minimization offers well-known learning guarantees when training and test data come from the same domain.
