CVPR 2012 presents a method for cross-view activity recognition using "Hankelets". Hankelets are Hankel matrices built from short tracklet sequences that capture velocity information. A codebook is generated by clustering Hankelets. Videos are represented as histograms of codebook assignments. The method is tested on single-view, multiple-view with knowledge transfer between views using bilingual Hankelets, and multiple-view without knowledge transfer, achieving good results.
Approaches to online quantile estimationData Con LA

Description
This talk will explore and compare several compact data structures for estimation of quantiles on streams, including a discussion of how they balance accuracy against computational resource efficiency. A new approach providing more flexibility in specifying how computational resources should be expended across the distribution will also be explained. Quantiles (e.g., median, 99th percentile) are fundamental summary statistics of one-dimensional distributions. They are particularly important for SLA-type calculations and characterizing latency distributions, but unlike their simpler counterparts such as the mean and standard deviation, their computation is somewhat more expensive. The increasing importance of stream processing (in observability and other domains) and the impossibility of exact online quantile calculation together motivate the construction of compact data structures for estimation of quantiles on streams. In this talk we will explore and compare several such data structures (e.g., moment-based, KLL sketch, t-digest) with an eye towards how they balance accuracy against resource efficiency, theoretical guarantees, and desirable properties such as mergeability. We will also discuss a recent variation of the t-digest which provides more flexibility in specifying how computational resources should be expended across the distribution. No prior knowledge of the subject is assumed. Some familiarity with the general problem area would be helpful but is not required.

Packet Classification using Support Vector Machines with String KernelsIJERA Editor
Since the inception of internet many methods have been devised to keep untrusted and malicious packets away
from a user’s system . The traffic / packet classification can be used
as an important tool to detect intrusion in the system. Using Machine Learning as an efficient statistical based
approach for classifying packets is a novel method in practice today . This paper emphasizes upon using an
advanced string kernel method within a support vector machine to classify packets .
There exists a paper related to a similar problem using Machine Learning [2]. But the researches mentioned in
their paper are not up-to date and doesn’t account for modern day
string kernels that are much more efficient . My work extends their research by introducing different approaches
to classify encrypted / unencrypted traffic / packets .

SEQUENTIAL CLUSTERING-BASED EVENT DETECTION FOR NONINTRUSIVE LOAD MONITORINGcsandit
The problem of change-point detection has been well studied and adopted in many signal processing applications. In such applications, the informative segments of the signal are the
stationary ones before and after the change-point. However, for some novel signal processing and machine learning applications such as Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM), the information contained in the non-stationary transient intervals is of equal or even more importance to the recognition process. In this paper, we introduce a novel clustering-based sequential detection of abrupt changes in an aggregate electricity consumption profile with
accurate decomposition of the input signal into stationary and non-stationary segments. We also introduce various event models in the context of clustering analysis. The proposed algorithm is applied to building-level energy profiles with promising results for the residential BLUED power dataset.

The presentation is dedicated to special theoretical aspects of control for quadrupedal walking. The assumed case of control on high abstraction level includes usage of peculiarities of mechanisms with changeable structure (with consideration of biological analog - horse front legs and gait), characteristics of sensory and suggestion of control concept realization. This concept based on special developed technique that uses biological principle of imprinting and probability control (predictive sensory templates) with auto recomplication possibility. Predictive sensory templates allow the control system to work and to allocate all necessary functions using low-end level of CPU speed. Presentation includes slides of experiment that was conducted with walking horse on step allure using strobelight photography.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

2. Dynamic Systems
Dynamic systems have been recently used in a
wide range of computer vision applications
Given temporal sequence of observations
(e.g. track coordinates) model temporal
evolution as a function of low-dimensional state
vector that changes over time
Simplest case – linear time invariant (LTI) system
(w – noise)
Practical limitation: given set of
observations, triple is not unique and is
3. Hankel Matrices
Given a sequence of measurements
, its block Hankel matrix is defined as:
Columns correspond to overlapping
subsequences of data
Block anti-diagonals of the matrix are constant
This structure encapsulates the dynamic
information of the system
4. Initial condition invariance
Linear time invariant system (LTI):
In the absence of noice (w = 0):
Then Hankel matrix is broken down to:
Columns of Hankel matrix span the same
subspace regardless of initial conditions
5. Autoregressive measurements
Suppose the sequence of measurements is auto-
regressive:
Recall, that:
Setting r = n in the above, we obtain:
In other words, last column of Hankel matrix is a
linear combination of other columns
6. Affine transformation invariance
Suppose we have two Hankel matrices and
corresponding to a trajectory and its affine
transformation. Auto-regressive property allows
us to write:
Suppose affine transformation is defined as
Then, taking into account its linearity:
In other words, sequences share the same
autoregressor
Recall, that
Therefore, columns of two Hankel matrices span
7. Previous work
B. Li et. al “Activity Recognition using Dynamic
Subspace Angles”, CVPR 2011
Considers initial condition invariance.
Imagine that class of actions (e.g. “walk”) can be
represented by a single dynamical system, and
in-class variations are captured by different initial
condition
Then differentiating between two actions breaks
down into determining whether columns of the
two corresponding Hankel matrices lie in the
same subspace
Uses angles between subspaces as a measure of
8. Overview of the method
Uses Dense trajectories to extract many short 15-
frame tracklets.
Builds Hankel matrix for each tracklet, capturing its
velocity
Employs BoF-like approach (BoHk)
Does three experiments: single-view data, multiple
view with knowledge transfer, multiple view without
knowledge transfer
9. Hankelets
Hankelet is a Hankel matrix for a short trajectory
of 15 frames, formed by a sequence of
normalized velocities:
Normalize
Hankelets:
10. Comparing Hankelets
Introduce dissimilarity score between two
Hankelets:
Derivations show, that d ≈ 0 for Hankelets
corresponding to noisy measurements of the
same dynamical system
11. Building codebook: cluster center
Modify the K-means algorithm for dissimilarity
scores:
Current Hankelet is assigned to a cluster whose
“representative” has smallest dissimilarity with the
current Hankelet
Cluster’s “representative” is chosed as follows.
Take random Hankelet within the class, find
dissimilarities between the Hankelet and all other
Hankelets in the cluster and compute their mean.
The Hankelet with dissimilarity closest to the
mean is selected as its “representative”
12. Building codebook: Gamma pdf
The histogram of dissimilarities for a typical cluster in
the dictionary of Hankelets:
Represent each cluster
with its representative and
gamma pdf:
Furthermore, each cluster
w has a prior probability
13. Bag of Hankelets (BoHk)
Each activity video is represented with a
histogram of labels from the dictionary of K
Hankelets
Cluster label is assigned using max probability:
where is cluster representative, is
cluster prior
Finally, one-against-all non-linear SVM trained for
activities recognition
14. Bi-Lingual Hankelets
Bi-lingual Hankelets can be easily learned from
unlabeled videos captured simultaneously from
the different viewpoints by matching Hankelets
across views (~80% are matched)
Hankelets are matched using threshold on
dissimilarity score, if their start times are the
same (no spatial information)
15.
16. Cross-view action recognition
A labeled dataset is given, with Source and Target
views
Training
Extract and match Bi-lingual Hankelets with
dissimilarity score
Build codebook of Bi-lingual Hankelets using the K-
means
Label Hankelets in Source data using max posterior
probability
Train one-against-all non-linear SVM using Source
data
