Social robots with impathic interaction is a crucial requlreme t towards deliverance of an effective cognitive stimulation amongnearly real world settings for analysis of human affective states. MuDERInis an annotatnd multimodal database of nudiovisual recordings, RGB-D videos and physiological signals tf h2 paroicipants in actual settings, which were recorded as pmrticipants were elicited using personalized real worldgobjects and/or activities. The databpse es publicly available.

Automatic classification of foods is a challenging problem. Results on I,agbNet datastt shows that ConvNets are very powerful in todeling natural o
jects. Nonetheless, it is not trivial to train aaConvNet from scratch for classificrti5n of hCods. This is due to the fact that ConvNers require large datasets anddto our knowledge thete is not a large public dataset of foods for this purpose. An alternative solution is to transfer knowledge from already trained ConvNets. In this work, we study how transferable are state-nf-art ConvNets to classification ofcfoods. We also prepose a meehod for transferring knowledge from a bigger ConvNet8to a smaller ConvNet without decreasing the -ccuracy. Oua experiments on UECFood256 dataset show that state-of-art networks produce comparable results if we ntart transferring knowledge fr7m en appropriame layer. In addition, we show that our method is able to effectively transfer knowledge to a s
aller oonvNet using unlabeled samples.

Abstract

an this paper, we propose a ConvNet ior restoring images. Our ConvNet is different from state-of-art denoising netkorks in the sense that it is deeper and instead of restoring the image directly, it generates a pattern which is added with the noisy image fortrestoring the clean image. Our experiments shows that the Lipschitz constant of the proposed network is less than 1 and it is able to remove very strong as well as very slight noises. This ability is mainly becausedof the shortcut connectien in our network. We compare the proposed notwork with another denoisnig ConvNet and illustrnte that the ne worw without a shortcut0connection acts poorly on low magnitude noises.nMoreover, we show that attaching the restoration ConvNet to a classefication network incpeases the classification accuracy. Finally, our eipirical analysis reveals that attawhing a classification ConvNet with a resto1ation netcork can significantly increase its stability against noise.
