The Google-Landmarks-v2 dataset is the biggest worldwide landmarks dataset characterized by a large magnitude of noisiness and diversity. We present a novel landmark retrieval/recognition system, robust to a noisy and diverse dataset, by our team, sm...
This paper explores the application of large language models (LLMs), like ChatGPT, for biometric tasks. We specifically examine the capabilities of ChatGPT in performing biometric-related tasks, with an emphasis on face recognition, gender detection,...
Computer vision models learn to perform a task by capturing relevant statistics from training data. It has been shown that models learn spurious age, gender, and race correlations when trained for seemingly unrelated tasks like activity recognition o...
The performance of child speech recognition is generally less satisfactory compared to adult speech due to limited amount of training data. Significant performance degradation is expected when applying an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system tra...
This paper presents the development of a prototype Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) system specifically designed for Bengali biomedical data. Recent advancements in Bengali ASR are encouraging, but a lack of domain-specific data limits the creation...
Open set recognition (OSR) assumes unknown instances appear out of the blue at the inference time. The main challenge of OSR is that the response of models for unknowns is totally unpredictable. Furthermore, the diversity of open set makes it harder...
Pre-training with self-supervised models, such as Hidden-unit BERT (HuBERT) and wav2vec 2.0, has brought significant improvements in automatic speech recognition (ASR). However, these models usually require an expensive computational cost to achieve...
Information extraction from handwritten documents involves traditionally three distinct steps: Document Layout Analysis, Handwritten Text Recognition, and Named Entity Recognition. Recent approaches have attempted to integrate these steps into a sing...
In an aging population, elderly patient safety is a primary concern at hospitals and nursing homes, which demands for increased nurse care. By performing nurse activity recognition, we can not only make sure that all patients get an equal desired car...
A practical large scale product recognition system suffers from the phenomenon of long-tailed imbalanced training data under the E-commercial circumstance at Alibaba. Besides product images at Alibaba, plenty of image related side information (e.g. t...
Existing multimodal-based human action recognition approaches are computationally intensive, limiting their deployment in real-time applications. In this work, we present a novel and efficient pose-driven attention-guided multimodal network (EPAM-Net...
In this paper, we propose Meeting recognizer Output Voting Error Reduction (MOVER), a novel system combination method for meeting recognition tasks. Although there are methods to combine the output of diarization (e.g., DOVER) or automatic speech rec...
This study develops a pattern recognition method that identifies patterns based on their similarity and their association with the outcome of interest. The practical purpose of developing this pattern recognition method is to group patients, who are...
Since scenes are composed in part of objects, accurate recognition of scenes requires knowledge about both scenes and objects. In this paper we address two related problems: 1) scale induced dataset bias in multi-scale convolutional neural network (C...
Brand recognition is a very challenging topic with many useful applications in localization recognition, advertisement and marketing. In this paper we present an automatic graphic logo detection system that robustly handles unconstrained imaging cond...
The dynamic hand gesture recognition task has seen studies on various unimodal and multimodal methods. Previously, researchers have explored depth and 2D-skeleton-based multimodal fusion CRNNs (Convolutional Recurrent Neural Networks) but have had li...
Face recognition technology related to recognizing identities is widely adopted in intelligence gathering, law enforcement, surveillance, and consumer applications. Recently, this technology has been ported to smartphones and body-worn cameras (BWC)....
