• Authors: Vincent Christlein, David Bernecker, Andreas Maier, Elli Angelopoulou
• Abstract summary: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have recently become the state-of-the-art tool for large-scale image classification. In this work we propose the use of activation features from CNNs as local descriptors for writer identification. We evaluate our method on two publicly available datasets: the ICDAR 2013 benchmark database and the CVL dataset.

• Abstract: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have recently become the state-of-the-art tool for large-scale image classification. In this work we propose the use of activation features from CNNs as local descriptors for writer identification. A global descriptor is then formed by means of GMM supervector encoding, which is further improved by normalization with the KL-Kernel. We evaluate our method on two publicly available datasets: the ICDAR 2013 benchmark database and the CVL dataset. While we perform comparably to the state of the art on CVL, our proposed method yields about 0.21 absolute improvement in terms of mAP on the challenging bilingual ICDAR dataset.

  This study proposes novel dual-current neural networks (DCNN) to improve the accuracy of fine-grained image classification.

• Integrating Graph Neural Networks with Scattering Transform for Anomaly Detection [0.0]
  We present two novel methods in Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) using Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) The first approach, Scattering Transform with E-GraphSAGE (STEG), utilizes the scattering transform to conduct multi-resolution analysis of edge feature vectors. The second approach improves node representation by initiating with Node2Vec, diverging from standard methods of using uniform values.

  We propose a novel graph contrastive learning method, termed Interpolation-based Correlation Reduction Network (ICRN) In our method, we improve the discriminative capability of the latent feature by enlarging the margin of decision boundaries. By combining the two settings, we extract rich supervision information from both the abundant unlabeled nodes and the rare yet valuable labeled nodes for discnative representation learning.

  A standard VPR subsystem is assumed to be available, and its domain-invariant state recognition ability is proposed to be transferred to train the domain-invariant NBV planner. We divide the visual cues that are available from the CNN model into two types: the output layer cue (OLC) and intermediate layer cue (ILC) In our framework, the ILC and OLC are mapped to a state vector and subsequently used to train a multiview NBV planner via deep reinforcement learning.
