Robust and efficient deep learning methods for vision-based action recognition by Xu, Yuecong

“…To extract temporal features without the utilization of optical flow, we propose Attentive Correlated Temporal Feature (ACTF) which leverages inter-frame correlation feature and exploits both bilinear and linear correlations between successive frames on the regional level. By excluding optical flow estimation or calculation, ACTF can be combined with any spatial feature extraction network under the two-stream structure for end-to-end training. …”

Color and deep learning features in face recognition by Lu, Ze

“…For every different application scenario, the common practice is to pre-train a CNN model on a very large dataset and then use it either as a fixed feature extractor or an initialization for fine-tuning on images from the application of interest. After successive convolutional layers in the CNN, high-level features are formed in the top layer. …”
