1 code implementation11 Dec 2018 Peng Lu, Gao Huang, Hangyu Lin, Wenming Yang, Guodong Guo, Yanwei Fu

This paper proposes a novel approach for Sketch-Based Image Retrieval (SBIR), for which the key is to bridge the gap between sketches and photos in terms of the data representation.

Anytime Stereo Image Depth Estimation on Mobile Devices

3 code implementations26 Oct 2018 Yan Wang, Zihang Lai, Gao Huang, Brian H. Wang, Laurens van der Maaten, Mark Campbell, Kilian Q. Weinberger

Many applications of stereo depth estimation in robotics require the generation of accurate disparity maps in real time under significant computational constraints.

Rethinking the Value of Network Pruning

2 code implementations ICLR 2019 Zhuang Liu, Ming-Jie Sun, Tinghui Zhou, Gao Huang, Trevor Darrell

Our observations are consistent for multiple network architectures, datasets, and tasks, which imply that: 1) training a large, over-parameterized model is often not necessary to obtain an efficient final model, 2) learned "important" weights of the large model are typically not useful for the small pruned model, 3) the pruned architecture itself, rather than a set of inherited "important" weights, is more crucial to the efficiency in the final model, which suggests that in some cases pruning can be useful as an architecture search paradigm.

Interpretable Spatio-temporal Attention for Video Action Recognition

no code implementations1 Oct 2018 Lili Meng, Bo Zhao, Bo Chang, Gao Huang, Wei Sun, Frederich Tung, Leonid Sigal

Inspired by the observation that humans are able to process videos efficiently by only paying attention where and when it is needed, we propose an interpretable and easy plug-in spatial-temporal attention mechanism for video action recognition.

Resource Aware Person Re-identification across Multiple Resolutions

1 code implementation CVPR 2018 Yan Wang, Lequn Wang, Yurong You, Xu Zou, Vincent Chen, Serena Li, Gao Huang, Bharath Hariharan, Kilian Q. Weinberger

Not all people are equally easy to identify: color statistics might be enough for some cases while others might require careful reasoning about high- and low-level details.

Horizontal Pyramid Matching for Person Re-identification

1 code implementation14 Apr 2018 Yang Fu, Yunchao Wei, Yuqian Zhou, Honghui Shi, Gao Huang, Xinchao Wang, Zhiqiang Yao, Thomas Huang

Despite the remarkable recent progress, person re-identification (Re-ID) approaches are still suffering from the failure cases where the discriminative body parts are missing.

Memory-Efficient Implementation of DenseNets

6 code implementations21 Jul 2017 Geoff Pleiss, Danlu Chen, Gao Huang, Tongcheng Li, Laurens van der Maaten, Kilian Q. Weinberger

A 264-layer DenseNet (73M parameters), which previously would have been infeasible to train, can now be trained on a single workstation with 8 NVIDIA Tesla M40 GPUs.

Snapshot Ensembles: Train 1, get M for free

Densely Connected Convolutional Networks

143 code implementations CVPR 2017 Gao Huang, Zhuang Liu, Laurens van der Maaten, Kilian Q. Weinberger

Recent work has shown that convolutional networks can be substantially deeper, more accurate, and efficient to train if they contain shorter connections between layers close to the input and those close to the output.

Deep Networks with Stochastic Depth

17 code implementations30 Mar 2016 Gao Huang, Yu Sun, Zhuang Liu, Daniel Sedra, Kilian Weinberger

With stochastic depth we can increase the depth of residual networks even beyond 1200 layers and still yield meaningful improvements in test error (4. 91% on CIFAR-10).
