Abstract: Feature extraction or representation of patterns and adaptation of classifiers designed using training data to be effective on testing data are two fundamental problems in computer vision and pattern recognition. In this talk, I will discuss recent solutions to these problems based on theories of dictionary learning, manifold representations and domain adaptation. Specifically, I will discuss methods for representing images and videos using linear and non-linear dictionaries as well as special manifolds. I will then discuss methods for adapting the dictionaries and manifolds for addressing shifts in data distributions due to changes in pose, illumination and resolution with applications in face, object and event recognition.
