• Abstract summary: We design class-specific dictionaries incorporating three factors: discriminability, sparsity and classification error. We adopt a new feature space, i.e., histogram of oriented gradients (HOG), to generate the dictionary atoms. Results demonstrated enhanced classification performance $(sim98%)$ compared to state-of-the-art deep learning techniques.

• Abstract: Dictionary learning is a cornerstone of image classification. We set out to address a longstanding challenge in using dictionary learning for classification; that is to simultaneously maximise the discriminability and sparse-representability power of the learned dictionaries. Upon this premise, we designed class-specific dictionaries incorporating three factors: discriminability, sparsity and classification error. We integrated these metrics into a unified cost function and adopted a new feature space, i.e., histogram of oriented gradients (HOG), to generate the dictionary atoms. The rationale of using HOG features for designing the dictionaries is their strength in describing fine details of crowded images. The results of applying the proposed method in the classification of Chinese handwritten numbers demonstrated enhanced classification performance $(\sim98\%)$ compared to state-of-the-art deep learning techniques (i.e., SqueezeNet, GoogLeNet and MobileNetV2), but with a fraction of parameters. Furthermore, combination of the HOG features with dictionary learning enhances the accuracy by $11\%$ compared to the case where only pixel domain data are used. These results were supported when the proposed method was applied to both Arabic and English handwritten number databases.

  Multimodal pre-trained models, such as CLIP, are popular for zero-shot classification due to their open-vocabulary flexibility and high performance. vision-language models, which compute similarity scores between images and class labels, are largely black-box, with limited interpretability, risk for bias, and inability to discover new visual concepts not written down. We present a novel method that discovers interpretable yet discriminative sets of attributes for visual recognition.

  Large-scale pre-trained Vision Language Models (VLMs) have proven effective for zero-shot classification. In this paper, we aim at a more challenging setting, Realistic Zero-Shot Classification, which assumes no annotation but instead a broad vocabulary. We propose the Self Structural Semantic Alignment (S3A) framework, which extracts structural semantic information from unlabeled data while simultaneously self-learning.

  This paper presents a paralleled visual-concept pre-training method for open-world detection by resorting to knowledge enrichment from a designed concept dictionary. By enriching the concepts with their descriptions, we explicitly build the relationships among various concepts to facilitate the open-domain learning. The proposed framework demonstrates strong zero-shot detection performances, e.g., on the LVIS dataset, our DetCLIP-T outperforms GLIP-T by 9.9% mAP and obtains a 13.5% improvement on rare categories.

  In cross-lingual text classification, it is required that task-specific training data in high-resource source languages are available. Collecting such training data can be infeasible because of the labeling cost, task characteristics, and privacy concerns. This paper proposes an alternative solution that uses only task-independent word embeddings of high-resource languages and bilingual dictionaries.
