Human pose estimation has made significant advancement in recent years. However, the existing datasets are limited in their coverage of pose variety. In this paper, we introduce a novel benchmark "Fol-lowMeUp Sports" that makes an important advance in terms of specific postures, self-occlusion and class balance, a contribution that we feel is required for future development in human body models. This comprehensive dataset was collected using an established taxonomy of over 200 standard workout activities with three different shot angles. The collected videos cover a wider variety of specific workout activities than previous datasets including push-up, squat and body moving near the ground with severe self-occlusion or occluded by some sport equipment and outfits. Given these rich images, we perform a detailed analysis of the leading human pose estimation approaches gaining insights for the success and failures of these methods.
This paper mainly deals with the problem of short text classification. There are two main contributions. Firstly, we introduce a framework of deep uniform kernel mapping support vector machine (DUKMSVM). The significant merit of this framework is that by expressing the kernel mapping function explicitly with a deep neural network, it is in essence an explicit kernel mapping instead of the traditional kernel function, and it allows better flexibility in dealing with various applications by applying different neural network structures. Secondly, to validate the effectiveness of this framework and to improve the performance of short text classification, we explicitly express the kernel mapping using bidirectional recurrent neural network (BRNN), and propose a deep bidirectional recurrent kernel mapping support vector machine (DRKMSVM) for short text classification. Experimental results on five public short text classification datasets indicate that in terms of classification accuracy, precision, recall rate and F1-score, the DRKMSVM achieves the best performance with the average values of accuracy, precision, recall rate, and F1-score of 87.23%, 86.99%, 86.13% and 86.51% respectively compared to traditional SVM, convolutional neural network (CNN), Naive Bayes (NB), and Deep Neural Mapping Support Vector Machine (DNMSVM) which applies multi-layer perceptron for kernel mapping.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
