Identifying subjects with variations caused by poses is one of the most challenging tasks in face recognition, since the difference in appearances caused by poses may be even larger than the difference due to identity. Inspired by the observation that pose variations change non-linearly but smoothly, we propose to learn pose-robust features by modeling the complex non-linear transform from the non-frontal face images to frontal ones through a deep network in a progressive way, termed as stacked progressive auto-encoders (SPAE). Specifically, each shallow progressive auto-encoder of the stacked network is designed to map the face images at large poses to a virtual view at smaller ones, and meanwhile keep those images already at smaller poses unchanged. Then, stacking multiple these shallow auto-encoders can convert non-frontal face images to frontal ones progressively, which means the pose variations are narrowed down to zero step by step. As a result, the outputs of the topmost hidden layers of the stacked network contain very small pose variations, which can be used as the pose-robust features for face recognition. An additional attractiveness of the proposed method is that no pose estimation is needed for the test images. The proposed method is evaluated on two datasets with pose variations, i.e., MultiPIE and FERET datasets, and the experimental results demonstrate the superiority of our method to the existing works, especially to those 2D ones.

In this paper, we focus on the problem of point-to-set classification, where single points are matched against sets of correlated points. Since the points commonly lie in Euclidean space while the sets are typically modeled as elements on Riemannian manifold, they can be treated as Euclidean points and Riemannian points respectively. To learn a metric between the heterogeneous points, we propose a novel Euclidean-to-Riemannian metric learning framework. Specifically, by exploiting typical Riemannian metrics, the Riemannian manifold is first embedded into a high dimensional Hilbert space to reduce the gaps between the heterogeneous spaces and meanwhile respect the Riemannian geometry of the manifold. The final distance metric is then learned by pursuing multiple transformations from the Hilbert space and the original Euclidean space (or its corresponding Hilbert space) to a common Euclidean sub-space, where classical Euclidean distances of transformed heterogeneous points can be measured. Extensive experiments clearly demonstrate the superiority of our proposed approach over the state-of-the-art methods.

In this paper, we try to hybrid projection twin support vector machine (PTSVM) and Extreme Learning Machine(ELM). The experiments shows that ELM generally out performs SVM/LS-SVM in various kinds of cases. PTELM tries to use ELM to overcome the shortness of PTSVM, which lacks of flexibility to change nonlinear kernel mapping for complex samples distribution regions. In order to overcome the shortness of ELMs, we try to maintain the geometric structure of the samples distribution in the initial setting of ELM parameters by starting with an auto-encoder ELM, a sufficient condition for such kind auto-encoder ELM to keep the equivalence of topological homology before and after nonlinear mapping is proved by us. For an auto-encoder, in order to do feature abstraction and find the exact manifold in which samples are located, the number of inner layers nodes should be small enough. For this purpose, we prove that the whole samples set can be at least replaced by a small subset which located on the boundary of distribution region. For more, the weights are modified by a ELM approach to make samples of a class move toward this classs hyperplane found by PTSVM. The experimental results on several UCI benchmark data sets show the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.

In recent years, opinion retrieval attracted a growing research interest as online users' opinions become more and more valuable for market survey, political polls, etc. The goal of opinion retrieval is to find relevant and opinionate documents according to a user's query. Compared with previous lexicon-based generative model for opinion retrieval considering that the sentiment words are equal for a query, which cannot reflect different sentiment words' relevant opinion strength, we propose a graph-based approach by using HITS model to capture the sentiment words' relevant opinion strength. Then the weights are incorporated into the weighted lexicon-based generative model for opinion retrieval. Experimental results on two datasets show the effectiveness of the proposed generative model. Compared with the baseline approach, improvements of 4% and 11% have been obtained on two real datasets.

The Gentzen systems for a sequent Γ⇒Δ have been proposed in the propositional logic, the predicate calculus and other logics. In this paper, based on the Gentzen system for the predicate calculus, we propose the Gentzen system for a sequent Γ⇒Δ in the description logic, where Γ and Δ are two sets of assertions in ALC: Assertions with universal qualification and inclusion assertions are decomposed as those of universal quantification formulas in the Gentzen system for the predicate calculus. It is proved that the Gentzen system for description logic is sound and complete; but it is not decidable.
