Parallel Scale-wise Attention Network for Effective Scene Text Recognition

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

The paper proposes a new text recognition network for scene-text images. Many state-of-the-art methods employ the attention mechanism either in the text encoder or decoder for the text alignment. Although the encoder-based attention yields promising results, these schemes inherit noticeable limitations. They perform the feature extraction (FE) and visual attention (VA) sequentially, which bounds the attention mechanism to rely only on the FE final single-scale output. Moreover, the utilization of the attention process is limited by only applying it directly to the single scale feature-maps. To address these issues, we propose a new multi-scale and encoder-based attention network for text recognition that performs the multi-scale FE and VA in parallel. The multi-scale channels also undergo regular fusion with each other to develop the coordinated knowledge together. Quantitative evaluation and robustness analysis on the standard benchmarks demonstrate that the proposed network outperforms the state-of-the-art in most cases.


Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning Root Out Rogue Products – Metrology and Quality News - Online Magazine

#artificialintelligence

Industrial Vision Systems (IVS), a supplier of inspection machines, has launched a range of new optical sorting machines specifically for the high-speed sorting of small components such as fasteners, rings, plastic parts, washers, nuts, munitions and micro components. The devices provide automatic inspection, sorting, grading and classification of products at up to 600 parts per minute. The systems also intercept and reject failed parts at high-speed, discovering shifts in quality, and providing quality assurance through the production cycle. The new machines utilise the latest vision inspection algorithms, allowing manufacturers to focus on other activities while the fully automated sorting machines root out rogue products and make decisions on quality automatically. For classification checks, the systems use Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Deep Learning, providing the machines with an ability to'learn by example' and improve as more data is captured.


Flaws in Machine Learning & How Deep Learning Is Helping

#artificialintelligence

It's hard to ignore the cultural and organizational impact that Artificial Intelligence (AI) has had over us. Most organizations today have realized the impact of AI, and are doing all that they can to participate in and help facilitate the growth of the technology. For those who know the nuances of AI and the metrics involved in it, Deep Learning and Machine Learning may not look like challenging terms. But, for those who are new to AI, these terms might be hard to understand. To understand the complications organizations face when adopting machine learning, we must first fully understand the difference between deep learning and machine learning.

Red Wine Quality prediction using AzureML, AKS with TensorFlow Keras

#artificialintelligence

Please read the other post Red Wine Quality prediction using AzureML, AKS. This was done using machine learning techniques and not using deep learning. The same thing is accomplished here but using the deep learning framework Keras. Most of the things remain the same compared to the machine learning method, but a few steps change. I am going to highlight the changed aspects here only so that it is easy to follow.


AI skills are a problem. AutoML can help

#artificialintelligence

O'Reilly just released its annual AI Adoption in the Enterprise survey, and the results are mostly unsurprising. For example, data scientists from organizations with mature artificial intelligence practices tend to turn to scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch and Keras. Also, supervised learning (82%) and deep learning (67%) were the most popular techniques used by survey respondents, whatever their phase of AI adoption. The biggest barrier to enterprise success with AI is difficulty finding people with the requisite skills. This is the exact same thing that plagues adoption in every technical market as a technology takes off.


Honey I Shrunk the Model: Why Big Machine Learning Models Must Go Small

#artificialintelligence

Bigger is not always better for machine learning. Yet, deep learning models and the datasets on which they're trained keep expanding, as researchers race to outdo one another while chasing state-of-the-art benchmarks. However groundbreaking they are, the consequences of bigger models are severe for both budgets and the environment alike. For example, GPT-3, this summer's massive, buzzworthy model for natural language processing, reportedly cost $12 million to train. What's worse, UMass Amherst researchers found that the computing power required to train a large AI model can produce over 600,000 pounds of CO2 emissions – that's five times the amount of the typical car over its lifespan.


RelTransformer: Balancing the Visual Relationship Detection from Local Context, Scene and Memory

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Visual relationship recognition (VRR) is a fundamental scene understanding task. The structure that VRR provides is essential to improve the AI interpretability in downstream tasks such as image captioning and visual question answering. Several recent studies showed that the long-tail problem in VRR is even more critical than that in object recognition due to the compositional complexity and structure. To overcome this limitation, we propose a novel transformer-based framework, dubbed as RelTransformer, which performs relationship prediction using rich semantic features from multiple image levels. We assume that more abundantcon textual features can generate more accurate and discriminative relationships, which can be useful when sufficient training data are lacking. The key feature of our model is its ability to aggregate three different-level features (local context, scene, and dataset-level) to compositionally predict the visual relationship. We evaluate our model on the visual genome and two "long-tail" VRR datasets, GQA-LT and VG8k-LT. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our RelTransformer could improve over the state-of-the-art baselines on all the datasets. In addition, our model significantly improves the accuracy of GQA-LT by 27.4% upon the best baselines on tail-relationship prediction.
