Recently, affine projection algorithm has been extensively studied in the Gaussian noise environment. However, the performance of affine projection algorithm will deteriorate rapidly in the presence of impulsive noise and other non-Gaussian noise. To address this issue, this paper proposes a novel affine projection algorithm based on the complex Gaussian kernel function, called widely linear maximum complex correntropy criterion affine projection algorithm (WL-MCCC-APA). 

How to avoid biased predictions is an important and active research question in scene graph generation (SGG). Current state-of-the-art methods employ debiasing techniques such as resampling and causality analysis. However, the role of intrinsic cues in the features causing biased training has remained under-explored. In this paper, for the first time, we make the surprising observation that object identity information, in the form of object label embeddings (e.g. GLOVE), is principally responsible for biased predictions. 

Human action recognition (HAR) is one of most important tasks in video analysis. Since video clips distributed on networks are usually untrimmed, it is required to accurately segment a given untrimmed video into a set of action segments for HAR. As an unsupervised temporal segmentation technology, subspace clustering learns the codes from each video to construct an affinity graph, and then cuts the affinity graph to cluster the video into a set of action segments. 

In the modern interconnected world, intelligent networks and computing technologies are increasingly being incorporated in industrial systems. However, this adoption of advanced technology has resulted in increased cyber threats to cyber-physical systems. Existing intrusion detection systems are continually challenged by constantly evolving cyber threats. Machine learning algorithms have been applied for intrusion detection. In these techniques, a classification model is trained by learning cyber behavior patterns.

As one of the vital topics in intelligent surveillance, weakly supervised online video anomaly detection (WS-OVAD) aims to identify the ongoing anomalous events moment-to-moment in streaming videos, trained with only video-level annotations. Previous studies tended to utilize a unified single-stage framework, which struggled to simultaneously address the issues of online constraints and weakly supervised settings. To solve this dilemma, in this paper, we propose a two-stage-based framework, namely “decouple and resolve” (DAR), which consists of two modules, i.e., temporal proposal producer (TPP) and online anomaly localizer (OAL).

Spatial-angular separable convolution (SAS-conv) has been widely used for efficient and effective 4D light field (LF) feature embedding in different tasks, which mimics a 4D convolution by alternatively operating on 2D spatial slices and 2D angular slices. In this paper, we argue that, despite its global intensity modeling capabilities, SAS-conv can only embed local geometry information into the features, resulting in inferior performances in the regions with textures and occlusions. Because the epipolar lines are highly related to the scene depth, we introduce the concept of spatial-angular correlated convolution (SAC-conv).

This paper introduces a new framework for non-parallel emotion conversion in speech. Our framework is based on two key contributions. First, we propose a stochastic version of the popular Cycle-GAN model. Our modified loss function introduces a Kullback–Leibler (KL) divergence term that aligns the source and target data distributions learned by the generators, thus overcoming the limitations of sample-wise generation. By using a variational approximation to this stochastic loss function, we show that our KL divergence term can be implemented via a paired density discriminator.

Emotional voice conversion (VC) aims to convert a neutral voice to an emotional one while retaining the linguistic information and speaker identity. We note that the decoupling of emotional features from other speech information (such as content, speaker identity, etc.) is the key to achieving promising performance. Some recent attempts of speech representation decoupling on the neutral speech cannot work well on the emotional speech, due to the more complex entanglement of acoustic properties in the latter. 

A key challenge of image splicing detection is how to localize integral tampered regions without false alarm. Although current forgery detection approaches have achieved promising performance, the integrality and false alarm are overlooked. In this paper, we argue that the insufficient use of splicing boundary is a main reason for poor accuracy. To tackle this problem, we propose an Edge-enhanced Transformer (ET) for tampered region localization. Specifically, to capture rich tampering traces, a two-branch edge-aware transformer is built to integrate the splicing edge clues into the forgery localization network, generating forgery features and edge features.
