Abstract:In this work, to the best of our knowledge, we propose a stand-alone large-scale image classification system running on an Android smartphone. The objective of this work is to prove that mobile large-scale image classification requires no communication to external servers. To do that, we propose a scalar-based compression method for weight vectors of linear classifiers. As an additional characteristic, the proposed method does not need to uncompress the compressed vectors for evaluation of the classifiers, which brings the saving of recognition time. We have implemented a large-scale image classification system on an Android smartphone, which can perform 1000-class classification for a given image in 0.270 seconds. In the experiment, we show that compressing the weights to 1/8 leaded to only 0.80% performance loss for 1000-class classification with the ILSVRC2012 dataset. In addition, the experimental results indicate that weight vectors compressed in low bits, even in the binarized case (bit = 1), are still valid for classification of high dimensional vectors.

In online learning the performance of an algorithm is typically compared to the performance of a fixed function from some class, with a quantity called regret. Forster [12] proposed a last-step min-max algorithm which was somewhat simpler than the algorithm of Vovk [26], yet with the same regret. In fact the algorithm he analyzed assumed that the choices of the adversary are bounded, yielding artificially only the two extreme cases. We fix this problem by weighing the examples in such a way that the min-max problem will be well defined, and provide analysis with logarithmic regret that may have better multiplicative factor than both bounds of Forster [12] and Vovk [26]. We also derive a new bound that may be sub-logarithmic, as a recent bound of Orabona et.al [21], but may have better multiplicative factor. Finally, we analyze the algorithm in a weak-type of non-stationary setting, and show a bound that is sublinear if the non-stationarity is sub-linear as well.

This is achieved by gradually learning parameters to correctly classify the training data, without guaranteeing that the current example is correctly classified.…”

SUMMARYGrapheme-to-phoneme (g2p) conversion, used to estimate the pronunciations of out-of-vocabulary (OOV) words, is a highly important part of recognition systems, as well as text-to-speech systems. The current state-of-the-art approach in g2p conversion is structured learning based on the Margin Infused Relaxed Algorithm (MIRA), which is an online discriminative training method for multiclass classification. However, it is known that the aggressive weight update method of MIRA is prone to overfitting, even if the current example is an outlier or noisy. Adaptive Regularization of Weight Vectors (AROW) has been proposed to resolve this problem for binary classification. In addition, AROW's update rule is simpler and more efficient than that of MIRA, allowing for more efficient training. Although AROW has these advantages, it has not been applied to g2p conversion yet. In this paper, we first apply AROW on g2p conversion task which is structured learning problem. In an evaluation that employed a dataset generated from the collective knowledge on the Web, our proposed approach achieves a 6.8% error reduction rate compared to MIRA in terms of phoneme error rate. Also the learning time of our proposed approach was shorter than that of MIRA in almost datasets. key words: g2p conversion, out-of-vocabulary word, online discriminative training, structured learning, AROW
