A method includes capturing, with at least one computing device, a sequence of images with a stationary or movable camera unit arranged in a room, the sequence of images including the subject and an object moving relative to the subject, and determining, with at least one computing device, the pose of the object with respect to the subject in at least one image of the sequence of images based on computing or using a prior surface model of the subject, a surface model of the object, and an optical model of the stationary or movable camera unit.
Disclosed herein is a system and method for pooling local features for fine-grained image classification. The deep features learned by the deep network are augmented with low level local landmark features by learning a pooling strategy that pools landmark features from earlier layers of the deep network. These low level landmark features are combined with the deep features and sent to the classifier.

Disclosed herein is a system and method for novel neural architecture search using a random graph network backbone to facilitate the creation of an efficient network structure. The method utilizes reinforcement learning algorithms to build a complex relationship between intra-connections (i.e., links between blocks in a random graph network) and extra-connections (i.e., links among blocks across the random graphs network) for discovering an efficient random neural architecture.
Provided is a method for locating an epilepsy seizure onset zone and prediction of seizure outcome including receiving interictal electroencephalographs from two or more points in a patient's cerebral cortex. The interictal electroencephalographs are used to determine directional information flow values which indicate dominant information flow from a non-seizure zone to a seizure onset zone. The directional informational flow values may be input into a classification model trained to predict whether the two or more points in the patient's cerebral cortex are a seizure onset zone and/or classify the patient's predicted post-treatment seizure outcome after epilepsy treatment based on the directional information flow values. An output from the classification model may indicate a location of seizure onset zone in the patient's cerebral cortex and/or the patient's predicted post-treatment seizure outcome after epilepsy treatment. Systems and computer program products are also provided.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDUCING FALSE POSITIVES IN OBJECT DETECTION FRAMEWORKS
Disclosed herein is a system and method for reducing false positives in object detection frameworks. A human form view of objects detected by the object detection framework and indicates the object is a false positive. When an indication of a false positive been received, a feature representation of displayed object stored in the gallery. During an inference or testing phase, the gallery is searched for a feature representation matching the feature representation of the detected objects, and, if a match is found, the detected object is deemed to be a false positive and is not displayed to the user.
Disclosed herein is a system and method for evolving a deep neural network model by searching for hidden sub-networks within the model. The model is evolved by adding convolutional layers to the model, then pruning the model to remove redundant filters. The model is exposed to training samples of increasing complexity each time the model is evolved, until a desired level of performance is achieved, at which time, the model is exposed to all available training data.
Disclosed herein is an improved method for identifying images containing objects-of-interest from a large set of images. The method comprises mixing two or more of the images to create a grouped image and exposing the grouped image to an object detector trained on grouped images to make an initial determination that the grouped image was formed from at least one image containing an object-of-interest. The images which formed the grouped image are then exposed to regular object detectors to determine a classification of the object-of-interest.
Disclosed herein is an improved few-shot detector which utilizes a dynamic semantic network which takes as input a language feature and generates trainable parameters for a visual network. The visual network takes a visual feature as input and generates a classification and localization of an object.
Disclosed herein is a methodology for refining novel-class features in a few-shot learning scenario by fine-tuning the feature extractor by reducing both class-agnostic biases and class-specific biases. A distribution calibration module is used to reduce the class-agnostic bias by normalizing the overall feature distribution for novel classes and further reshaping the feature manifold for fast adaptation during fine-tuning. Selected sampling is used to reduce class-specific bias by augmenting more data for better estimation.
Disclosed herein an effective detach strategy which suppresses the flow of gradients from context sub-networks through the detection backbone path to obtain a more discriminative context by forcing the representation of context sub-network to be dissimilar from the detection network. A sub-network is defined to generate the context information from early layers of the detection backbone. Because instance and context focus on perceptually different parts of an image, the representations from either of them should also be discrepant. In addition, a stacked complementary loss is generated to and backpropagated to the detection network.
Disclosed herein is a methodology implementing feature map-level data augmentation in a feature map. Two or more units in the feature map are selected and the values of locations in the two or more units are swapped among the two or more units. Value perturbations applied around local units in the feature map implicitly lead to an unused data augmentation at the image level.
Disclosed herein is a method to disentangle linear-encoded facial semantics from facial images without external supervision. The method uses linear regression and sparse representation learning concepts to make the disentangled latent representations easily interpreted and manipulated. Generated facial images are decomposed into multiple semantic features and latent representations are extracted to capture interpretable facial semantics. The semantic features may be manipulated to synthesize photorealistic facial images by sampling along vectors representing the semantic features, thereby changing the associate semantics.
Disclosed herein is a system and method for data augmentation for general object recognition which preserves the class identity of the augmented data. The system comprises an image recognition network an image generation network that take as input ground truth images and classes respectively and which generates a predicted class and an augmented image. A discriminator evaluates the predicted class and augmented image and provides feedback to the image recognition network and the image generation network.

Disclosed herein is a method of soft anchor-point detection (SAPD), which implements a concise, single-stage anchor-point detector with both faster speed and higher accuracy. Also disclosed is a novel training strategy with two softened optimization techniques: soft-weighted anchor points and soft-selected pyramid levels.
Disclosed herein is a method providing a flexible way to transfer knowledge from base to novel classes in a few shot learning scenario. The invention introduces a partial transfer paradigm for the few-shot classification task in which a model is first trained on the base classes. Then, instead of transferring the learned representation by freezing the whole backbone network, an efficient evolutionary search method is used to automatically determine which layer or layers need to be frozen and which will be fine-tuned on the support set of the novel class.

Disclosed herein is a method of reducing the complexity of a neural network using PRC-NPTN layers by applying a pruning technique to remove a subset of filters in the network based on the importance of individual filters to the accuracy of the network, which is determined by the frequency with which the response of the filter is activated.
Disclosed herein is a design for a 1-bit CNN that closes the performance gap between binary neural networks and real-valued networks on challenging large-scale datasets. The design starts with a high-performance baseline network. Blocks with identity shortcuts which bypass 1-bit generic convolutions are adopted to replace the convolutions in the baseline network. Reshaping and shifting of activation functions is introduced. Finally, a distributional loss to further is adopted enforce the binary network to learn similar output distributions as those of a real-valued network.
