• Abstract summary: We propose a novel preprocessing pipeline named hinting that guides the attention of the model to the center of the corn kernels and enables a deep learning model to deliver better performance. Experiments indicated that the proposed approach excels the current manual estimates, obtaining MAE of 34.4 and R2 of 0.74 against 35.38 and 0.72 for the manual estimate, respectively.

• Abstract: Maize is a highly nutritional cereal widely used for human and animal consumption and also as raw material by the biofuels industries. This highlights the importance of precisely quantifying the corn grain productivity in season, helping the commercialization process, operationalization, and critical decision-making. Considering the manual labor cost of counting maize kernels, we propose in this work a novel preprocessing pipeline named hinting that guides the attention of the model to the center of the corn kernels and enables a deep learning model to deliver better performance, given a picture of one side of the corn ear. Also, we propose a multivariate CNN regressor that outperforms single regression results. Experiments indicated that the proposed approach excels the current manual estimates, obtaining MAE of 34.4 and R2 of 0.74 against 35.38 and 0.72 for the manual estimate, respectively.

• Towards Practical Lipreading with Distilled and Efficient Models [57.41253104365274]
  Lipreading has witnessed a lot of progress due to the resurgence of neural networks. Recent works have placed emphasis on aspects such as improving performance by finding the optimal architecture or improving generalization. There is still a significant gap between the current methodologies and the requirements for an effective deployment of lipreading in practical scenarios. We propose a series of innovations that significantly bridge that gap: first, we raise the state-of-the-art performance by a wide margin on LRW and LRW-1000 to 88.5% and 46.6%, respectively using self-distillation.
