• Abstract: We aim at capturing high-order statistics of feature vectors formed by a neural network, and propose end-to-end second- and higher-order pooling to form a tensor descriptor. Tensor descriptors require a robust similarity measure due to low numbers of aggregated vectors and the burstiness phenomenon, when a given feature appears more/less frequently than statistically expected. The Heat Diffusion Process (HDP) on a graph Laplacian is closely related to the Eigenvalue Power Normalization (EPN) of the covariance/autocorrelation matrix, whose inverse forms a loopy graph Laplacian. We show that the HDP and the EPN play the same role, i.e., to boost or dampen the magnitude of the eigenspectrum thus preventing the burstiness. We equip higher-order tensors with EPN which acts as a spectral detector of higher-order occurrences to prevent burstiness. We also prove that for a tensor of order r built from d dimensional feature descriptors, such a detector gives the likelihood if at least one higher-order occurrence is 'projected' into one of binom(d,r) subspaces represented by the tensor; thus forming a tensor power normalization metric endowed with binom(d,r) such 'detectors'. For experimental contributions, we apply several second- and higher-order pooling variants to action recognition, provide previously not presented comparisons of such pooling variants, and show state-of-the-art results on HMDB-51, YUP++ and MPII Cooking Activities.

  Human actions in sequences are characterized by the complex interplay between spatial features and their temporal dynamics. We propose novel tensor representations for capturing higher-order relationships between visual features for the task of action recognition. We use higher-order tensors and so-called Eigenvalue Power Normalization (NEP) which have been long speculated to perform spectral detection of higher-order occurrences.

  Motivated by advances in compressive sensing with generative models, we study the problem of 1-bit compressive sensing with generative models. We first consider noiseless 1-bit measurements, and provide sample complexity bounds for approximate recovery under i.i.d.Gaussian measurements. We demonstrate that the Binary $epsilon$-Stable Embedding property, which characterizes the robustness of the reconstruction to measurement errors and noise, also holds for 1-bit compressive sensing with Lipschitz continuous generative models.
