Sparse Representation Based Fisher Discrimination Dictionary Learning for Image Classification
The employed dictionary plays an important role in sparse representation or sparse coding based image reconstruction and classification, while learning dictionaries from the training data has led to state-of-the-art results in image classification tasks. However, many dictionary learning models exploit only the discriminative information in either the representation coefficients or the representation residual, which limits their performance. In this paper we present a novel dictionary learning method based on the Fisher discrimination criterion. A structured dictionary, whose atoms have correspondences to the subject class labels, is learned, with which not only the representation residual can be used to distinguish different classes, but also the representation coefficients have small within-class scatter and big between-class scatter. The classification scheme associated with the proposed Fisher discrimination dictionary learning (FDDL) model is consequently presented by exploiting the discriminative information in both the representation residual and the representation coefficients. The proposed FDDL model is extensively evaluated on various image datasets, and it shows superior performance to many state-of-the-art dictionary learning methods in a variety of classification tasks.

Hydra: competing convolutional kernels for fast and accurate time series classification
We demonstrate a simple connection between dictionary methods for time series classification, which involve extracting and counting symbolic patterns in time series, and methods based on transforming input time series using convolutional kernels, namely Rocket and its variants. We show that by adjusting a single hyperparameter it is possible to move by degrees between models resembling dictionary methods and models resembling Rocket. We present Hydra, a simple, fast, and accurate dictionary method for time series classification using competing convolutional kernels, combining key aspects of both Rocket and conventional dictionary methods. Hydra is faster and more accurate than the most accurate existing dictionary methods, achieving similar accuracy to several of the most accurate current methods for time series classification. Hydra can also be combined with Rocket and its variants to significantly improve the accuracy of these methods.

Twin Contrastive Learning for Online Clustering
This paper proposes to perform online clustering by conducting twin contrastive learning (TCL) at the instance and cluster level. Specifically, we find that when the data is projected into a feature space with a dimensionality of the target cluster number, the rows and columns of its feature matrix correspond to the instance and cluster representation, respectively. Based on the observation, for a given dataset, the proposed TCL first constructs positive and negative pairs through data augmentations. Thereafter, in the row and column space of the feature matrix, instance- and cluster-level contrastive learning are respectively conducted by pulling together positive pairs while pushing apart the negatives. To alleviate the influence of intrinsic false-negative pairs and rectify cluster assignments, we adopt a confidence-based criterion to select pseudo-labels for boosting both the instance- and cluster-level contrastive learning. As a result, the clustering performance is further improved. Besides the elegant idea of twin contrastive learning, another advantage of TCL is that it could independently predict the cluster assignment for each instance, thus effortlessly fitting online scenarios. Extensive experiments on six widely-used image and text benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of TCL. The code is released on https://pengxi.me.

Reading Text in the Wild with Convolutional Neural Networks
In this work we present an end-to-end system for text spotting—localising and recognising text in natural scene images—and text based image retrieval. This system is based on a region proposal mechanism for detection and deep convolutional neural networks for recognition. Our pipeline uses a novel combination of complementary proposal generation techniques to ensure high recall, and a fast subsequent filtering stage for improving precision. For the recognition and ranking of proposals, we train very large convolutional neural networks to perform word recognition on the whole proposal region at the same time, departing from the character classifier based systems of the past. These networks are trained solely on data produced by a synthetic text generation engine, requiring no human labelled data. Analysing the stages of our pipeline, we show state-of-the-art performance throughout. We perform rigorous experiments across a number of standard end-to-end text spotting benchmarks and text-based image retrieval datasets, showing a large improvement over all previous methods. Finally, we demonstrate a real-world application of our text spotting system to allow thousands of hours of news footage to be instantly searchable via a text query.

Single image shadow detection and removal based on feature fusion and multiple dictionary learning
In recent years, the analysis of natural image has made great progress while the image of the intrinsic component analysis can solve many computer vision problems, such as the image shadow detection and removal. This paper presents the novel model, which integrates the feature fusion and the multiple dictionary learning. Traditional model can hardly handle the challenge of reserving the removal accuracy while keeping the low time consuming. Inspire by the compressive sensing theory, traditional single dictionary scenario is extended to the multiple condition. The human visual system is more sensitive to the high frequency part of the image, and the high frequency part expresses most of the semantic information of the image. At the same time, the high frequency characteristic of the high and low resolution image is adopted in the dictionary training, which can effectively recover the loss in the high resolution image with high frequency information. This paper presents the integration of compressive sensing model with feature extraction to construct the two-stage methodology. Therefore, the feature fusion algorithm is applied to the dictionary training procedure to finalize the robust model. Simulation results proves the effectiveness of the model, which outperforms compared with the other state-of-the-art algorithms.
