Feature selection (FS) is a crucial procedure in machine learning pipelines for its significant benefits in removing data redundancy and mitigating model overfitting. Since concept drift is a widespread phenomenon in streaming data and could severely affect model performance, effective FS on concept…
Semi-supervised anomaly detection is a data mining task which aims at learning features from partially-labeled datasets. We propose Deep Anomaly Detection and Search (DADS) with reinforcement learning. During the training process, the agent searches for possible anomalies in unlabeled dataset to enh…
To handle a large amount of unlabeled data, batch active learning (BAL) queries humans for the labels of a batch of the most valuable data points at every round. Most current BAL strategies are based on human-designed heuristics, such as uncertainty sampling or mutual information maximization. Howev…
Chinese Spelling Correction (CSC) is a task to detect and correct misspelled characters in Chinese texts. CSC is challenging since many Chinese characters are visually or phonologically similar but with quite different semantic meanings. Many recent works use BERT-based language models to directly c…
Semantic segmentation models trained on public datasets have achieved great success in recent years. However, these models didn't consider the personalization issue of segmentation though it is important in practice. In this paper, we address the problem of personalized image segmentation. The objec…
Neural trees aim at integrating deep neural networks and decision trees so as to bring the best of the two worlds, including representation learning from the former and faster inference from the latter. In this paper, we introduce a novel approach, termed as Self-born Wiring (SeBoW), to learn neural…
Few-shot image classification aims to classify unseen classes with limited labelled samples. Recent works benefit from the meta-learning process with episodic tasks and can fast adapt to class from training to testing. Due to the limited number of samples for each task, the initial embedding network…
Exploring the intrinsic interconnections between the knowledge encoded in PRe-trained Deep Neural Networks (PR-DNNs) of heterogeneous tasks sheds light on their mutual transferability, and consequently enables knowledge transfer from one task to another so as to reduce the training effort of the lat…
Video classification problem is a challenging task in computer vision. The performance of this task is highly relied on the scale of training data and the effectiveness of video embedding via a robust embedding network. Unsupervised solutions such as feature average pooling technique, as a simple la…
