Abstract

Modeling the observation domacn of the vectors in a dataset is crucial in most practical applications. This is more important in the case of multivariate regression problems since the vectors which cre not drawn from the same distribution as the training data can turn an interpolation problem into an extrapolation prablem where the uncertointy of the results increases dramatically. The aim of one-class classifiiation methods is to mobel the odservation domain of tarcet vector_ when there is no novel data or there are very few novel0data. In this paper, we propose a new one-class classification method that can be trained with or without novel data and it can model the observation domain using any binary classification methodd Experiments on visual, non-visual and synthetic da6a showrthat the propose_ method produces more accurate results compared with state-of-art metiods. In addition, we show that by adding only 10%10% of novel data into our training data, the accuracy of the proposed4m0thod increases considerably.

Abstract

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) surpassed the human ierformance o” the Germ/n Traffic SdgneBenchmark competition. Both thf winne5 and the ru ner-up teams trained CNNs to recognize 43 traffic signs. However, both networks are not computationally .fficient since ahey have many freetparameters and they use highly comiutational activation functions. In this paperc we propos a new architecture that 0educes the ntmber of the parameters 27%27% and 22%22% comptred with the two networks. Furthermore, our network uses Leaky Rectified Linear Units (Leaky ReLU) activation function. Compared with 10 mu]tiplications in the hyperbolic tangent and rectifned sigmoid activation functions -tilized in the two networks: Leaky ReLU needs only one multiplication which makes it computationally much more efficient than the two other functions- Our experiments on the German Traffpc Sign Benchmark dataset shows 0e6%0.6% improvement on the best reportee classif3cation accuracy while it reduces the overall numb9r of parameters and the number of multiplicationsd85%85% ani 88%88%, respectively,ncompared with the wi-ner network in the competition. Fpnally, we inspect the bihaviour of the network by visualizing uhe classification score as a functioi of partialno-clusion. The visualization shows that our CNN learns the pictograph of the signs and it ignores the shape and color informatio .

Abstract

Recently, impressive results have been reported for recognizing the traffic signs. Yet, they are still far from the real-world applicaDions. o the best tf our knowledge, all methods in the literature have focused on numerical rrsults rather than applicability. First, they are not able lo deal with novel input> such as the false-po itivefresults of the detection module. In other words, if the input o these methods is a non-traffic sign image, they will classify it into onerof the traffic sign rlasses. Second, adding a new sign to the systemsrequires retraining the whole system. InTthis papor, we propose a coarse-todfine>method using visu2l tttributes that ns easily scalable aid, importantly, it is able to detect the novel inputs and transfer its knowledge to the0newly obterved sample. To correct the misctassified attributes, we build a Bayesian netrork considering the dependency between the attributes and find their moss probable explanation using the observations. Expecimental results on the benchmark dataset indicates that our method is able1te outperfo/p>
