• Authors: Alexandros Stergiou, Ronald Poppe, and Remco C. Veltkamp
• Abstract summary: We introduce a novel method named Class Regularization that performs class-based regularization of layer activations. We show that using Class Regularization blocks in state-of-the-art CNN architectures for action recognition leads to systematic improvement gains of 1.8%, 1.2% and 1.4% on the Kinetics, UCF-101 and HMDB-51 datasets, respectively.

• Abstract: Training Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) is based on the notion of using multiple kernels and non-linearities in their subsequent activations to extract useful features. The kernels are used as general feature extractors without specific correspondence to the target class. As a result, the extracted features do not correspond to specific classes. Subtle differences between similar classes are modeled in the same way as large differences between dissimilar classes. To overcome the class-agnostic use of kernels in CNNs, we introduce a novel method named Class Regularization that performs class-based regularization of layer activations. We demonstrate that this not only improves feature search during training, but also allows an explicit assignment of features per class during each stage of the feature extraction process. We show that using Class Regularization blocks in state-of-the-art CNN architectures for action recognition leads to systematic improvement gains of 1.8%, 1.2% and 1.4% on the Kinetics, UCF-101 and HMDB-51 datasets, respectively.

  Continual learning aims to empower models to learn new tasks without forgetting previously acquired knowledge. We argue that the scarce semantic information conveyed by the one-hot labels hampers the effective knowledge transfer across tasks. Specifically, we use PLMs to generate semantic targets for each class, which are frozen and serve as supervision signals.

  We propose Dynamic Perceiver (Dyn-Perceiver) to decouple the feature extraction procedure and the early classification task. A feature branch serves to extract image features, while a classification branch processes a latent code assigned for classification tasks. Early exits are placed exclusively within the classification branch, thus eliminating the need for linear separability in low-level features.

  We propose a novel class-specific attention (CSA) module to capture significant class-specific features and improve the overall classification performance of time series. An NN model embedded with the CSA module can improve the base model in most cases and the accuracy improvement can be up to 42%. Our statistical analysis show that the performance of an NN model embedding the CSA module is better than the base NN model on 67% of MTS and 80% of UTS test cases.
