The intrinsic difficulty in adapting deep learning models to non-stationary environments limits the applicability of neural networks to real-world tasks. This issue is critical in practical supervised learning settings, such as the ones in which a pre-trained model computes projections toward a latent space where different task predictors are sequentially learned over time. As a matter of fact, in...Show More

Stefano Melacci;Gabriele Ciravegna;Angelo Sotgiu;Ambra Demontis;Battista Biggio;Marco Gori;Fabio Roli
Adversarial attacks on machine learning-based classifiers, along with defense mechanisms, have been widely studied in the context of single-label classification problems. In this paper, we shift the attention to multi-label classification, where the availability of domain knowledge on the relationships among the considered classes may offer a natural way to spot incoherent predictions, i.e., predi...Show More

Toward Improving the Evaluation of Visual Attention Models: a Crowdsourcing Approach
2020 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN)
Year: 2020 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (2)
Human visual attention is a complex phenomenon. A computational modeling of this phenomenon must take into account where people look in order to evaluate which are the salient locations (spatial distribution of the fixations), when they look in those locations to understand the temporal development of the exploration (temporal order of the fixations), and how they move from one location to another...Show More
Gravitational Laws of Focus of Attention
The understanding of the mechanisms behind focus of attention in a visual scene is a problem of great interest in visual perception and computer vision. In this paper, we describe a model of scanpath as a dynamic process which can be interpreted as a variational law somehow related to mechanics, where the focus of attention is subject to a gravitational field. The distributed virtual mass that dri...Show More
Cognitive Action Laws: The Case of Visual Features
This paper proposes a theory for understanding perceptual learning processes within the general framework of laws of nature. Artificial neural networks are regarded as systems whose connections are Lagrangian variables, namely, functions depending on time. They are used to minimize the cognitive action, an appropriate functional index that measures the agent interactions with the environment. The ...Show More

In this paper, we introduce the convex fragment of Łukasiewicz logic and discuss its possible applications in different learning schemes. The provided theoretical results are highly general because they can be exploited in any learning framework involving logical constraints. The method is of particular interest since the fragment guarantees to deal with convex constraints, which are shown to be e...Show More
A Constrained-Based Approach to Machine Learning

Year: 2018 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (1)
This paper promotes a constrained-based approach to machine learning as a natural evolution to classic distinction between supervised, unsupervised and semi-supervised learning. In particular, in addition to the unification of symbolic and sub-symbolic processing, it is shown that the notion of constraint opens the doors to a truly new way of discovering the solution that relies on the Lagrangian ...Show More
Learning in Variable-Dimensional Spaces
This paper proposes a unified approach to learning in environments in which patterns can be represented in variable-dimension domains, which nicely includes the case in which there are missing features. The proposal is based on the representation of the environment by pointwise constraints that are shown to model naturally pattern relationships that come out in problems of information retrieval, c...Show More

In this paper, we combine optimal control theory and machine learning techniques to propose and solve an optimal control formulation of online learning from supervised examples, which are used to learn an unknown vector parameter modeling the relationship between the input examples and their outputs. We show some connections of the problem investigated with the classical LQG optimal control proble...Show More
Learning With Mixed Hard/Soft Pointwise Constraints
Giorgio Gnecco;Marco Gori;Stefano Melacci;Marcello Sanguineti
A learning paradigm is proposed and investigated, in which the classical framework of learning from examples is enhanced by the introduction of hard pointwise constraints, i.e., constraints imposed on a finite set of examples that cannot be violated. Such constraints arise, e.g., when requiring coherent decisions of classifiers acting on different views of the same pattern. The classical examples ...Show More
On-Line Video Motion Estimation by Invariant Receptive Inputs
2014 IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Workshops
Year: 2014 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (1)
In this paper, we address the problem of estimating the optical flow in long-term video sequences. We devise a computational scheme that exploits the idea of receptive fields, in which the pixel flow does not only depends on the brightness level of the pixel itself, but also on neighborhood-related information. Our approach relies on the definition of receptive units that are invariant to affine t...Show More
Graph and Manifold Co-regularization
2013 12th International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications
Year: 2013 | Conference Paper |
Classical foundations of Statistical Learning Theory rely on the assumption that the input patterns are independently and identically distributed. However, in many applications, the inputs, represented as feature vectors, are also embedded into a network of pair wise relations. Transductive approaches like graph regularization rely on the network topology without considering the feature vectors. S...Show More
Collective Classification Using Semantic Based Regularization
2013 12th International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications
Year: 2013 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (1)
Semantic Based Regularization (SBR) is a framework for injecting prior knowledge expressed as FOL clauses into a semi-supervised learning problem. The prior knowledge is converted into a set of continuous constraints, which are enforced during training. SBR employs the prior knowledge only at training time, hoping that the learning process is able to encode the knowledge via the training data into...Show More
Learning with Box Kernels
Supervised examples and prior knowledge on regions of the input space have been profitably integrated in kernel machines to improve the performance of classifiers in different real-world contexts. The proposed solutions, which rely on the unified supervision of points and sets, have been mostly based on specific optimization schemes in which, as usual, the kernel function operates on points only. ...Show More
Constraint Verification With Kernel Machines
Based on a recently proposed framework of learning from constraints using kernel-based representations, in this brief, we naturally extend its application to the case of inferences on new constraints. We give examples for polynomials and first-order logic by showing how new constraints can be checked on the basis of given premises and data samples. Interestingly, this gives rise to a perceptual lo...Show More
Unsupervised Learning by Minimal Entropy Encoding
Following basic principles of information-theoretic learning, in this paper, we propose a novel approach to data clustering, referred to as minimal entropy encoding (MEE), which is based on a set of functions (features) projecting each input onto a minimum entropy configuration (code). Inspired by traditional parsimony principles, we seek solutions in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces and then we ...Show More
