Real-world multilabel data are high dimensional, and directly using them for label distribution learning (LDL) will incur extensive computational costs. We propose a multilabel distribution learning algorithm based on multioutput regression through manifold learning, referred to as MDLRML. By exploiting smooth, similar spaces' information provided by the samples' manifold learning and LDL, we link the two spaces' manifolds. This facilitates using the topological relationship of the manifolds in the feature space to guide the manifold construction of the label space. The smoothest regression function is used to fit the manifold data, and a locally constrained multioutput regression is designed to improve the data's local fitting. Based on the regression results, we enhance the logical labels into the label distributions, thereby mining and revealing the label's hidden information regarding importance or significance. Extensive experimental results using real-world multilabel datasets show that the proposed MDLRML algorithm significantly improves the multilabel distribution learning accuracy and efficiency over several existing state-of-the-art schemes.

Anomaly detection in surveillance videos is an extremely challenging task due to the ambiguous definitions for abnormality. In a complex surveillance scenario, the kinds of abnormal events are numerous and might co-exist, including such as appearance and motion anomaly of objects, long-term abnormal activities, etc. Traditional video anomaly detection methods cannot detect all these kinds of abnormal events. Hence, we utilize multiple probabilistic models inference to detect as many different kinds of abnormal events as possible. To depict realistic events in a scene, the parameters of our methods are tailored to the characteristics of video sequences of practical surveillance scenarios. However, there is a lack of video anomaly detection methods suitable for real-time processing, and the trade-off between detection accuracy and computational complexity has not been given much attention. To reduce high computational complexity and shorten frame processing times, we employ a variable-sized cell structure and extract a compact feature set from a limited number of video volumes during the feature extraction stage. In conclusion, we propose a real-time video anomaly detection algorithm called MPI-VAD that combines the advantages of multiple probabilistic models inference. Experiment results on three publicly available datasets show that the proposed method attains competitive detection accuracies and superior frame processing speed.

Interaction among different regions can be illustrated in the form of a stream. For example, the interaction between the flows of people and information among different regions can reflect city network structures, as well as city functions and interconnections. The popularization of big data has facilitated the acquisition of flow data for various types of individuals. The application of the regional interaction model, which is based on the summary level of individual flow data mining, is currently a hot research topic. Thus far, however, previous research on spatial interaction methods has mainly focused on point-to-point and area-to-area interaction patterns, and investigations on the patterns of interaction hotspots between two regional groups with predefined neighborhood relationships, that being with two regions, remain scarce. In this study, a method for the identification of similar interaction hotspot patterns between two regional groups is proposed, and geo-information Tupu methods are applied to visualize interaction patterns. China’s air traffic flow data are used as an example to illustrate the performance of the proposed method to identify and analyze interaction hotspot patterns between regional groups with adjoining relationships across China. Research results indicate that the proposed method efficiently identifies the patterns of interaction flow hotspots between regional groups. Moreover, it can be applied to analyze any flow space in the excavation of the patterns of regional group interaction hotspots.

We propose a novel probabilistic label enhancement algorithm, called PLEA, to solve challenging label distribution learning (LDL) for multi-label classification problems. We adopt the well-known maximum entropy model based label distribution learner. However, unlike the existing LDL algorithms based on the maximum entropy model, we propose to use manifold learning to enhance the label distribution learner. Specifically, the supervised information in the label manifold is utilized in the feature manifold space construction to improve the accuracy of feature extraction, while dramatically reducing the feature dimension. Then the robust linear regression is employed to estimate the label distributions associated with the extracted reduced-dimension features. Using the enhanced reduced-dimension features and their associated estimated label distributions in the maximum entropy model, the unknown true label distributions can be estimated more accurately, while imposing considerably lower computational complexity. We evaluate the proposed PLEA method on a wide-range artificial and high-dimensional real-world datasets. Experimental results obtained demonstrate that our proposed PLEA method has advantages in LDL accuracy and runtime performance, compared to the latest multi-label LDL approaches. The results also show that our PLEA compares favourably with the state-of-the-arts multi-label learning algorithms for classification tasks.

Significant development of video person re-identification has been witnessed in recent years with deep learning technologies. Due to the complexity of human pose changes and the similarity between different individuals, learning discriminative features is still a challenging part of the video person re-identification task. To get rid of the effects of pose misalignment while keep the similarity of human appearance, in this paper, we propose a Pose and Similarity based Graph Neural Network in a decoupled manner, which consists of three independent branches to emphasize the respective roles of pose, local similarity and global similarity in the final descriptions. Compared to traditional Convolutional Neural Networks which tend to output similar global features in the case of highly similar pedestrians, the developed Graph Neural Networks are able to explore local semantic relationships between body parts, resulting in more discriminative features. To further eliminate the pose variation, we incorporate human skeleton information for feature map segmentation. Specifically, we propose to take a tree structure as the pose-aware adjacency graph of blocks in a person frame, which reveals the inherent connections within a human body. Experimental results on four widely used datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.
