Ordinal Regression (OR) aims to model the ordering information between different data categories, which is a crucial topic in multi-label learning. An important class of approaches to OR models the problem as a linear combination of basis…
Scattering network is a convolutional network, consisting of cascading convolutions using pre-defined wavelets followed by the modulus operator. Since its introduction in 2012, the scattering network is used as one of few mathematical tools…

That most deep learning models are purely data driven is both a strength and a weakness. Given sufficient training data, the optimal model for a particular problem can be learned. However, this is usually not the case and so instead the…
