Abstract
Deep learning models that attempt to categorize visual content can benefit from being trained with additional information that may be, or may not be, available during deployment. To this end, this dissertation designed, developed, and evaluated methods inspired by the 鈥淟earning Using Privileged Information鈥 framework, multimodal data fusion, and knowledge distillation to improve deep learning models鈥 performance. These methods are assessed for the problems of: (i) recognizing carrying actions in 鈥渧isible spectrum鈥 and 鈥渘ear-infrared鈥 images, as well as (ii) detecting questionable online video content. The experimental results demonstrated the effectiveness of the methods in four new datasets introduced within the context of this work to address the challenges of the problems mentioned above.
