Talk Title: CNN as Guided Multi-layer RECOS Transform
Series: Emerging Trends
Abstract: There is a resurging interest in developing a neural network based solution to supervised machine learning in the last 5 years. In this talk, I will provide a theoretical foundation to the working principle of the convolutional neural network (CNN) from a signal processing viewpoint. To begin with, the RECOS transform is introduced as a basic building block for CNNs.
The term RECOS is an acronym for REctified-COrrelations on a Sphere. It consists of two main concepts: data clustering on a sphere and rectification. Then, a CNN is interpreted as a network that implements the guided multilayer RECOS transform. Along this line, we first compare the traditional single-layer and modern multilayer signal analysis approaches. Then, we discuss how guidance is provided by data labels through back propagation in the training with an attempt to offer a smooth transition from weakly to heavily supervised learning. Finally, we show that a trained network can be greatly simplified in the testing stage, which demands only one bit representation for both filter weights and inputs. Several future research directions are pointed out at the end.
Biography: Dr. C.C. Jay Kuo received his Ph.D. degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1987. He is now with the University of Southern California (USC) as Director of the Media Communications Laboratory and Dean's Professor in Electrical Engineering, Systems. His research interests are in the areas of digital media processing, compression, communication and networking technologies. Dr. Kuo was the Editor in Chief for the IEEE Trans. on Information Forensics and Security from 2012 through 2014. He was the Editor in Chief for the Journal of Visual Communication and Image Representation from 1997 through 2011, and served as Editor for 10 other international journals.
