Blended Grammar Network for Human Parsing
Although human parsing has made great progress, it still faces a challenge, i.e., how to extract the whole foreground from similar or cluttered scenes effectively. In this paper, we propose a Blended Grammar Network (BGNet), to deal with the challenge. BGNet exploits the inherent hierarchical structure of a human body and the relationship of different human parts by means of grammar rules in both cascaded and paralleled manner. In this way, conspicuous parts, which are easily distinguished from the background, can amend the segmentation of inconspicuous ones, improving the foreground extraction. We also design a Part-aware Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network (PCRNN) to pass messages which are generated by grammar rules. To train PCRNNs effectively, we present a blended grammar loss to supervise the training of PCRNNs. We conduct extensive experiments to evaluate BGNet on PASCAL-Person-Part, LIP, and PPSS datasets. BGNet obtains state-of-the-art performance on these human parsing datasets.

A generalized parsing framework for Abstract Grammars
This technical report presents a general framework for parsing a variety of grammar formalisms. We develop a grammar formalism, called an Abstract Grammar, which is general enough to represent grammars at many levels of …
Predicting Human Activities Using Stochastic Grammar
This paper presents a novel method to predict future human activities from partially observed RGB-D videos. Human activity prediction is generally difficult due to its non-Markovian property and the rich context between …

Prefix parsing asks whether an input prefix can be extended to a complete string generated by a given grammar. In the weighted setting, it also provides prefix probabilities, which are central to context-free language mo…
Statistical Parsing of Tree Wrapping Grammars
We describe an approach to statistical parsing with Tree-Wrapping Grammars (TWG). TWG is a tree-rewriting formalism which includes the tree-combination operations of substitution, sister-adjunction and tree-wrapping subs…
