Cross-Domain Few-Shot Object Detection (CD-FSOD) is an extremely challenging task due to the inherent data scarcity and substantial domain shift between the source and target domains. Existing methods often suffer from overfitting and noisy feature representations, which hinder the construction of d
Graph convolutional networks (GCNs) are nowadays becoming mainstream in solving many image processing tasks including skeleton-based recognition. Their general recipe consists in learning convolutional and attention layers that maximize classification performances. With multi-head attention, GCNs ar…
Magnitude pruning is one of the mainstream methods in lightweight architecture design whose goal is to extract sub-networks with the largest weight connections. This method is known to be successful, but under very high pruning regimes, it suffers from topological inconsistency which renders the ext…
Context modeling is one of the most fertile sub-fields of visual recognition which aims at designing discriminant image representations while incorporating their intrinsic and extrinsic relationships. However, the potential of context modeling is currently under-explored and most of the existing sol…
Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are nowadays achieving significant leaps in different pattern recognition tasks including action recognition. Current CNNs are increasingly deeper, data-hungrier and this makes their success tributary of the abundance of labeled training data. CNNs also rely…
Deep multiple kernel learning is a powerful technique that selects and deeply combines multiple elementary kernels in order to provide the best performance on a given classification task. This technique, particularly effective, becomes intractable when handling large scale datasets; indeed, multiple…
Semi-supervised learning seeks to build accurate classification machines by taking advantage of both labeled and unlabeled data. This learning scheme is useful especially when labeled data are scarce while unlabeled ones are abundant. Among the existing semi-supervised learning algorithms, Laplacian…
We introduce in this paper a novel non-blind speech enhancement procedure based on visual speech recognition (VSR). The latter is based on a generative process that analyzes sequences of talking faces and classifies them into visual speech units known as visemes. We use an effective graphical model…
It is commonly agreed that the success of support vector machines (SVMs), is highly dependent on the choice of particular similarity functions referred to as kernels. The latter are usually handcrafted or designed using appropriate optimization schemes. Multiple kernel learning (MKL) is one possible…
