Spatial-temporal relations among facial muscles carry crucial information about facial expressions yet have not been thoroughly exploited. One contributing factor for this is the limited ability of… (More)
In this paper we tackle the problem of facial action unit (AU) recognition by exploiting the complex semantic relationships among AUs, which carry crucial top-down information yet have not been… (More)
Traditional data-driven classifier learning approaches become limited when the training data is inadequate either in quantity or quality. To address this issue, in this paper we propose to combine… (More)

Complex activities typically consist of multiple primitive events happening in parallel or sequentially over a period of time. Understanding such activities requires recognizing not only each… (More)
Many computer vision applications involve modeling complex spatiotemporal patterns in high-dimensional motion data. Recently, restricted Boltzmann machines (RBMs) have been widely used to capture and… (More)
Classifier learning is challenging when the training data is inadequate in either quantity or quality. Prior knowledge hence is important in such cases to improve the performance of classification.… (More)
Most of the current EEG-based workload classifiers are subject-specific; that is, a new classifier is built and trained for each human subject. In this paper we introduce a cross-subject workload… (More)
In many classification problems, there exists additional information which is available during training but not available during testing. In this paper we denote such information as hidden… (More)
Facial feature detection from facial images has attracted great attention in the field of computer vision. It is a nontrivial task since the appearance and shape of the face tend to change under… (More)
In this paper, an efficient face recognition algorithm is proposed, which is robust to illumination, expression and occlusion. In our method, a human face image is considered as a multiplication of a… (More)
