Apparent age estimation from face image has attracted more and more attentions as it is favorable in some real-world applications. In this work, we propose an end-to-end learning approach for robust apparent age estimation, named by us AgeNet. Specifically, we address the apparent age estimation problem by fusing two kinds of models, i.e., real-value based regression models and Gaussian label distribution based classification models. For both kind of models, large-scale deep convolutional neural network is adopted to learn informative age representations. Another key feature of the proposed AgeNet is that, to avoid the problem of over-fitting on small apparent age training set, we exploit a general-to-specific transfer learning scheme. Technically, the AgeNet is first pre-trained on a large-scale web-collected face dataset with identity label, and then it is fine-tuned on a large-scale real age dataset with noisy age label. Finally, it is fine-tuned on a small training set with apparent age label. The experimental results on the ChaLearn 2015 Apparent Age Competition demonstrate that our AgeNet achieves the state-of-the-art performance in apparent age estimation.

Regional level set method is a popular approach for image segmentation that uses inside and outside information of contour to extract object boundary. Unfortunately, in many cases, such method is not adequate to model complex textured objects. In this paper, we propose a natural texture image segmentation method which incorporates the pixel-level feature into region-level feature. The multi-scale local structure operation is proposed as pixel-level feature to describe the texture structure of image. So the problems of multi-scale and rotation invariance of inhomogeneous texture are addressed by introducing multi-scale local structure operation into level set energy functional. Then, the global intensity information is extracted as the region-level feature and integrated with multi-scale local structure operation. Further, we propose a so-called vector level set method to obtain the segmentation results. Here, we extend the traditional regional level set model into the vector formulation so that the multi-scale local structure operation can be suitably combined with the global intensity information to achieve the more superior image segmentation performance than that of the traditional segmentation methods for texture images. Experiments on some synthesis texture images and real natural scene images demonstrate the excellent performance of the proposed method which successfully combines local structure information and global intensity information to extract the object boundary.

Childhood nephrotic syndrome is a chronic disease harmful to growth of children. Scientific and accurate prediction of negative conversion days for children with nephrotic syndrome offers potential benefits for treatment of patients and helps achieve better cure effect. In this study, the improved backpropagation neural network with momentum is used for prediction. Momentum speeds up convergence and maintains the generalization performance of the neural network, and therefore overcomes weaknesses of the standard backpropagation algorithm. The three-tier network structure is constructed. Eight indicators including age, lgG, lgA and lgM, etc. are selected for network inputs. The scientific computing software of MATLAB and its neural network tools are used to create model and predict. The training sample of twenty-eight cases is used to train the neural network. The test sample of six typical cases belonging to six different age groups respectively is used to test the predictive model. The low mean absolute error of predictive results is achieved at 0.83. The experimental results of the small-size sample show that the proposed approach is to some degree applicable for the prediction of negative conversion days of childhood nephrotic syndrome.

Cultural events are kinds of typical events closely related to history and nationality, which play an important role in cultural heritage through generations. However, automatically recognizing cultural events still remains a great challenge since it depends on understanding of complex image contents such as people, objects, and scene context. Therefore, it is intuitive to associate this task with other high-level vision problems, e.g., object detection, recognition, and scene understanding. In this paper, we address this problem by combining both ideas of object / scene contents mining and strong image representation via CNN into a whole framework. Specifically, for object / scene contents mining, we employ selective search to extract a batch of bottom-up region proposals, which are served as key object / scene candidates in each event image, while for representation via CNN, we investigate two state-of-the-art deep architectures, VGGNet and GoogLeNet, and adapt them to our task by performing domain-specific (i.e., event) fine-tuning on both global image and hierarchical region proposals. These two models can complementarily exploit feature hierarchies spatially, which simultaneously capture the global context and local evidences within the image. In our final submission for ChaLearn LAP Challenge ICCV 2015, nine kinds of features extracted from five different deep models were exploited and followed with two kinds of classifiers for decision level fusion. Our method achieves the best performance of mAP=0.854 among all the participants in the track of cultural event recognition.
