Fine-Grained Image Recognition (FGIR) is a fundamental and challenging task in computer vision and multimedia that plays a crucial role in Intellectual Economy and Industrial Internet applications. However, the absence of a unified open-source softwa...
While massively multilingual speech models like wav2vec 2.0 XLSR-128 can be directly fine-tuned for automatic speech recognition (ASR), downstream performance can still be relatively poor on languages that are under-represented in the pre-training da...
Youtube-8M dataset enhances the development of large-scale video recognition technology as ImageNet dataset has encouraged image classification, recognition and detection of artificial intelligence fields. For this large video dataset, it is a challe...
Availability of representations from pre-trained models (PTMs) have facilitated substantial progress in speech emotion recognition (SER). Particularly, representations from PTM trained for paralinguistic speech processing have shown state-of-the-art...
Reading dirty license plates accurately in moving vehicles is challenging for automatic license plate recognition systems. Moreover, license plates are often intentionally tampered with a malicious intent to avoid police apprehension. Usually, such g...
Standard approaches for video recognition usually operate on the full input videos, which is inefficient due to the widely present spatio-temporal redundancy in videos. Recent progress in masked video modelling, i.e., VideoMAE, has shown the ability...
Face Recognition using Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) for Local and Global Features involves recognizing the corresponding face image from the database. The face image obtained from the user is cropped such that only the frontal face image is extrac...
The recognition of materials and objects inside transparent containers using computer vision has a wide range of applications, ranging from industrial bottles filling to the automation of chemistry laboratory. One of the main challenges in such recog...
Lipreading has emerged as an increasingly important research area for developing robust speech recognition systems and assistive technologies for the hearing-impaired. However, non-English resources for visual speech recognition remain limited. We in...
Neural networks for image recognition have evolved through extensive manual design from simple chain-like models to structures with multiple wiring paths. The success of ResNets and DenseNets is due in large part to their innovative wiring plans. Now...
Face recognition has become an essential task in our lives. However, the current COVID-19 pandemic has led to the widespread use of face masks. The effect of wearing face masks is currently an understudied issue. The aim of this paper is to analyze f...
Deep learning methods have brought many breakthroughs to computer vision, especially in 2D face recognition. However, the bottleneck of deep learning based 3D face recognition is that it is difficult to collect millions of 3D faces, whether for indus...
This paper proposes a speaker recognition (SRE) task with trivial speech events, such as cough and laugh. These trivial events are ubiquitous in conversations and less subjected to intentional change, therefore offering valuable particularities to di...
The task of identifying emotions from a given music track has been an active pursuit in the Music Information Retrieval (MIR) community for years. Music emotion recognition has typically relied on acoustic features, social tags, and other metadata to...
Detection of fights is an important surveillance application in videos. Most existing methods use supervised binary action recognition. Since frame-level annotations are very hard to get for anomaly detection, weakly supervised learning using multipl...
Identifying players in sports videos by recognizing their jersey numbers is a challenging task in computer vision. We have designed and implemented a multi-task learning network for jersey number recognition. In order to train a network to recognize...
In this work, we revisit the problem of semi-supervised named entity recognition (NER) focusing on extremely light supervision, consisting of a lexicon containing only 10 examples per class. We introduce ELLEN, a simple, fully modular, neuro-symbolic...
This paper proposes a self-supervised approach to learn universal facial representations from videos, that can transfer across a variety of facial analysis tasks such as Facial Attribute Recognition (FAR), Facial Expression Recognition (FER), DeepFak...
