Online Learning for Large Scale Structured Data in Complex Situations. Online Learning (OL) is the process of predicting answers for a sequence of questions. OL has enjoyed much attention in recent years due to its natural ability of processing large scale non-structured data and adapting to a changing environment. However, OL has three weaknesses: it does not scale for structured data; it often assumes that all of the data are equally important; it often considers that all of the data are compl ....Online Learning for Large Scale Structured Data in Complex Situations. Online Learning (OL) is the process of predicting answers for a sequence of questions. OL has enjoyed much attention in recent years due to its natural ability of processing large scale non-structured data and adapting to a changing environment. However, OL has three weaknesses: it does not scale for structured data; it often assumes that all of the data are equally important; it often considers that all of the data are complete and noise-free. These weaknesses limit its utility, because real data such as those that must be analysed in processing social networks, fraud detection do not satisfy the restrictions. The aim of this project is to develop theoretical and practical advances in OL that overcome the existing weaknesses.Read moreRead less

Summary
On snapping up semantics of dynamic pixels from moving cameras. The project aims to develop a suite of original models and algorithms for processing and understanding videos captured by moving cameras, and to establish the mathematical foundations for deep learning-based computer vision to provide theoretical underpinnings. The project expects to generate new knowledge that will transform moving-camera computer vision with step-changes in visual quality enhancement, compression and acceleration ....On snapping up semantics of dynamic pixels from moving cameras. The project aims to develop a suite of original models and algorithms for processing and understanding videos captured by moving cameras, and to establish the mathematical foundations for deep learning-based computer vision to provide theoretical underpinnings. The project expects to generate new knowledge that will transform moving-camera computer vision with step-changes in visual quality enhancement, compression and acceleration technologies, and solutions for fundamental computer vision tasks. A new concept of feature complexity for measuring the discriminant and learnable abilities of features from deep models will also be defined. The outcomes of the project will be critical for enabling autonomous machines to perceive and interact with the environment.Read moreRead less
In search of relevant things: A novel approach for image analysis. This project aims to investigate how experts’ cognitive processes may be transferred to computers for the automatic recognition of visual features. By merging computer and brain sciences, the project will characterise the way the brains of experts understand what is seen, in order to translate such a process in a new computer vision tool. This should provide significant benefits, such as automatic detection of threats or diseases ....In search of relevant things: A novel approach for image analysis. This project aims to investigate how experts’ cognitive processes may be transferred to computers for the automatic recognition of visual features. By merging computer and brain sciences, the project will characterise the way the brains of experts understand what is seen, in order to translate such a process in a new computer vision tool. This should provide significant benefits, such as automatic detection of threats or diseases in satellite and diagnostic imaging, respectively, among other applications. For the first time, the combination of how a computer analyses an image and how an expert interprets it will be used as a common language to enable machines to process visual information in a manner that mimics the way human brains do.Read moreRead less
