Intro

This repository provides the Matlab implementation for the CVPR18 paper, "Learning Facial Action Units From Web Images With Scalable Weakly Supervised Clustering". This code has two goals:

1. Learn a weakly-supervised spectral embedding (WSE), which considers the coherence between visual similarity and weak annotations (Sec 3.1 in the paper).

2. Re-annotate noisy images using rank-order clustering and majority voting (Sec 3.2 in the paper). We also provide uMQI metric to automatically determine the number of clusters. This part will be released soon.

Dependencies

We use the FLANN library to compute K nearest neighbors to construct the affinity matrix for WSE and rank-order clustering. Before using this code, please download FLANN library and add the path to addpaths.m.

Getting started

To run the toy demo (as Fig. 2 in the paper). Run the command in Matlab:

>> demo_toy

Then you should be able to see the results from the classical clustering problem:
