Abstract:
Systems and methods for metric learning include iteratively determining feature groups of images based on its derivative norm. Corresponding metrics of the feature groups are learned by gradient descent based on an expected loss. The corresponding metrics are combined to provide an intermediate metric matrix as a sparse representation of the images. A loss function of all metric parameters corresponding to features of the intermediate metric matrix are optimized, using a processor, to learn a final metric matrix. Eigenvalues of the final metric matrix are projected onto a simplex.

Systems and methods for object detection by receiving an image; segmenting the image and identifying candidate bounding boxes which may contain an object; for each candidate bounding box, dividing the box into overlapped small patches, and extracting dense features from the patches; during a training phase, applying a learning process to learn one or more discriminative classification models to classify negative boxes and positive boxes; and during an operational phase, for a new box generated from the image, applying the learned classification model to classify whether the box contains an object.
Abstract:
There are provided a system and method for predicting query execution time in a database system. A cost model determination device determines a cost model of a database query optimizer for the database system. The cost model models costs of queries applied to the database system. A profiling device determines profiling queries for profiling input/output cost units and processor cost units relating to the database system, and profiles the cost units using the profiling queries to output profiled cost units. A calibrating device calibrates cost units in the cost model responsive to the profiled cost units to output calibrated cost units. A sampling re-estimator samples and re-estimates a cardinality estimation of a final query plan to output an updated cardinality estimation. A predictor applies the calibrated cost units and the updated cardinality estimation in the cost model to generate a prediction of an execution time of a given query.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for distance metric learning include generating two random projection matrices of a dataset from a d-dimensional space into an m-dimensional sub-space, where m is smaller than d. An optimization problem is solved in the m-dimensional subspace to learn a distance metric based on the random projection matrices. The distance metric is recovered in the d-dimensional space.
Abstract:
A method for fine-grained image classification on an image includes automatically segmenting one or more objects of interest prior to classification; and combining segmented and original image features before performing final classification.
