Partial face recognition is a problem that often arises in practical settings and applications. We propose a sparse representation-based algorithm for this problem. Our method firstly trains a dictionary and the classifier parameters in a supervised dictionary learning framework and then aligns the partially observed test image and seeks for the sparse representation with respect to the training data alternatively to obtain its label. We also analyze the performance limit of sparse representation-based classification algorithms on partial observations.

Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is a highly prevalent condition associated with many adverse health problems. As the current means of diagnosis (polysomnography) is obtrusive and ill-suited for mass screening of the population, we explore a minimal-contact, automatic approach that uses acoustics-based methods in conjunction with pulse oximetry. We present a two-stage method for automatically classifying breathing sounds produced during sleep to track respiratory effort and predicting disordered breathing events using respiratory effort durations and oxygen desaturations.

Texture analysis is an image processing task that can be conducted using the mathematical framework of multifractal analysis to study the regularity fluctuations of image intensity and the practical tools for their assessment, such as (wavelet) leaders. A recently introduced statistical model for leaders enables the Bayesian estimation of multifractal parameters. It significantly improves performance over standard (linear regression based) estimation. However, the computational cost induced by the associated nonstandard posterior distributions limits its application.

Deep unfolding has recently been proposed to derive novel deep network architectures from model-based approaches. In this paper, we consider its application to multichannel source separation. We unfold a multichannel Gaussian mixture model (MCGMM), resulting in a deep MCGMM computational network that directly processes complex-valued frequency-domain multichannel audio and has an architecture defined explicitly by a generative model, thus combining the advantages of deep networks and model-based approaches.

Saliency measures are a popular way to predict visual attention. However, saliency is normally tested on sets of single resolution images that are unlike what the human vision system sees. We propose a new saliency measure based on convolving images with 2D gamma kernels which function as a comparison between a center and a surrounding neighborhood. The two parameters in the gamma kernel provide an ideal way to change the size of both the center and the surrounding neighborhood, which makes finding saliency at different scales simple and fast.

Nowadays, with the success and fast growth of social media communities and mobile devices, people are encouraged to share their multimedia data online. Analyzing and summarizing data into useful information thus becomes increasingly important. For on- line photo sharing services like Flickr, when users are uploading a batch of daily photos at a time, the tags users provided tend to be rather vague, containing only a small amount of information.

Action recognition via WiFi has caught intense attention recently because of its ubiquity, low cost, and privacy- preserving. Observing Channel State Information (CSI, a fine-grained information computed from the received WiFi signal) resemblance to texture, we transform the received CSI into images, extract features with vision-based methods and train SVM classifiers for action recognition. Our experiments show that regarding CSI as images achieves an accuracy above 85%. Our contributions include:
