• Through the first half of the 20th century,
  most of the scientific community believed
  dinosaurs to have been slow, unintelligent
  cold-blooded animals. Most research conducted
  since the 1970s, however, has supported the view
  that dinosaurs were active animals with elevated
  metabolisms and numerous adaptations for social
  interaction. The resulting transformation in the
  scientific understanding of dinosaurs has

Learning Non-Redundant Codebooks



Non-Redundant Learning
Codebook Approaches k-means, Gaussian Mixture
Modeling, Information Bottleneck, Vocabulary
trees, Spatial pyramid
Motivation Improve the discriminative
performance of any codebook and classifier
learning approach by encouraging non-redundancy
in the learning process. Approach learn
multiple codebooks and classifiers wrap the
codebook and classifier learning process inside a
boosting procedure 1.

Instantiations of the Framework

• Boost-Reweighting (discrete feature space)
• Supervised clustering features X based on the
  joint distribution table Pt(X, Y) (Y represents
  the class labels). This table is updated at each
  iteration based on the new boosting weights.
• Boost-Resampling (continuous feature space)
• Generate a non-redundant clustering set by
  sampling the training examples according to the
  updated boosting weights. The codebook is
  constructed by clustering the features in this
  clustering set.

Experimental Results - Stonefly Recognition
(cont.)

• Single learns only a single codebook of size
  KT 5000.
• Random weighted sampling is replaced with
  uniform random sampling that neglects the
  boosting weights.
• Boost achieves 77 error reduction comparing with
  Single on STONEFLY9.

Experimental Results - Document Classification

• S1000 learns a single codebook of size 1000.
• S100 learns a single codebook of size 100.
• Random 10 bagged samples of the original
  training corpus are used to estimate the joint
  distribution table Pt(X, Y).

Conclusions and Future Work

• Conclusions
• Non-redundant learning is a simple and general
  framework to
• effectively improve the performance of codebooks.
• Future work
• Explore the underlying reasons for the
  effectiveness of non-redundant codebooks
  discriminative analysis, non-redundancy tests
• More comparison experiments on well-established
  datasets.
