Class Specific Feature Disentanglement and Text Embeddings for Multi-label Generalized Zero Shot CXR Classification

Seyedbehzad Bozorgtabar

Robustness of medical image classification models is limited by its exposure to the candidate disease classes. Generalized zero shot learning (GZSL) aims at correctly predicting seen and unseen classes and most current GZSL approaches have focused on the s ...

Keyword-based Image Color Re-rendering with Semantic Segmentation

Sabine Süsstrunk, Fayez Lahoud, Bin Jin

Keyword-based image color re-rendering is a convenient way to enhance the color of images. Most methods only focus on the color characteristics of the image while ignoring the semantic meaning of different regions. We propose to incorporate semantic inform ...

Discovering Structured Variations via Coupled Template Matching

Mark Pauly, Duygu Ceylan, Boris Neubert, Ngoc Minh Dang

Understanding patterns of variation from raw measurement data remains a central goal of shape analysis. This understanding reveals which elements are exactly repeated, or how elements can be derived as structured variations from a common base element. We i ...
