[Biography]

Chang-Su Kim received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Seoul National University with a Distinguished Dissertation Award in 2000. From 2000 to 2001, he was a Visiting Scholar with the Signal and Image Processing Institute, University of Southern California, Los Angeles. From 2001 to 2003, he coordinated the 3D Data Compression Group in National Research Laboratory for 3D Visual Information Processing in SNU. From 2003 to 2005, he was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Information Engineering, Chinese University of Hong Kong. In Sept. 2005, he joined the School of Electrical Engineering, Korea University, where he is a Professor.

 

[Abstract]

First, we propose order learning to determine the order graph of classes, representing ranks or priorities, and classify an object instance into one of the classes. To this end, we design a pairwise comparator to categorize the relationship between two instances into one of three cases: one instance is ‘greater than,’ ‘similar to,’ or ‘smaller than’ the other. Then, by comparing an input instance with reference instances and maximizing the  consistency among the comparison results, the class of the input can be estimated reliably.

Second, we propose the deep repulsive clustering (DRC) algorithm of ordered data for effective order learning. To this end, we develop the order-identity decomposition (ORID) network to divide the information of an object instance into an order-related feature and an identity feature. Then, we group object instances into clusters according to their identity features using a repulsive term. Moreover, we estimate the rank of a test instance, by comparing it with references within the same cluster.

Experimental results on facial age estimation, aesthetic score regression, and historical color image classification show that the proposed algorithm can cluster ordered data effectively and also yield excellent rank estimation performance.
