COUNT Forest: CO-Voting Uncertain Number of Targets Using Random Forest for Crowd Density Estimation
This paper presents a patch-based approach for crowd density estimation in public scenes. We formulate the problem of estimating density in a structured learning framework applied to random decision forests. Our approach learns the mapping between patch features and relative locations of all objects inside each patch, which contribute to generate the patch density map through Gaussian kernel density estimation. We build the forest in a coarse-to-fine manner with two split node layers, and further propose a crowdedness prior and an effective forest reduction method to improve the estimation accuracy and speed. Moreover, we introduce a semi-automatic training method to learn the estimator for a specific scene. We achieved state-of-the-art results on the public Mall dataset and UCSD dataset, and also proposed two potential applications in traffic counts and scene understanding with promising results.

A Mallows-like Criterion for Anomaly Detection with Random Forest Implementation
The effectiveness of anomaly signal detection can be significantly undermined by the inherent uncertainty of relying on one specified model. Under the framework of model average methods, this paper proposes a novel crite…
Anomaly DetectionModeling Voters in Multi-Winner Approval Voting
In many real world situations, collective decisions are made using voting and, in scenarios such as committee or board elections, employing voting rules that return multiple winners. In multi-winner approval voting (AV),…
Cautious Decision-Making for Tree Ensembles
Cautious classifiers are designed to make indeterminate decisions when the uncertainty on the input data or the model output is too high, so as to reduce the risk of making wrong decisions. In this paper, we propose two …
Decision MakingMultivariate Uncertainty Quantification with Tomographic Quantile Forests
Quantifying predictive uncertainty is essential for safe and trustworthy real-world AI deployment. Yet, fully nonparametric estimation of conditional distributions remains challenging for multivariate targets. We propose…
Decision-forest voting scheme for classification of rare classes in network intrusion detection
In this paper, Bayesian based aggregation of decision trees in an ensemble (decision forest) is investigated. The focus is laid on multi-class classification with number of samples significantly skewed toward one of the …
