Graph Based Multimedia Analysis applies concepts from graph theory to the problems of analyzing overabundant video data. Video data can be quite diverse: exocentric (captured by a standard camera) or egocentric (captured by a wearable device like Google Glass); of various durations (ranging from a few seconds to several hours); and could be from a single source or multiple sources. Efficient extraction of important information from such a large class of diverse video data can be overwhelming. The book, with its rich repertoire of theoretically elegant solutions, from graph theory in conjunction with deep learning, constrained optimization, and game theory, empowers the audience to achieve tasks like obtaining concise yet useful summaries and precisely recognizing single as well as multiple actions in a computationally efficient manner. The book provides a unique treatise on topics like egocentric video analysis and scalable video processing.

Meta-Learning, or learning to learn, has become increasingly popular in recent years. Instead of building AI systems from scratch for each machine learning task, Meta-Learning constructs computational mechanisms to systematically and efficiently adapt to new tasks. The meta-learning paradigm has great potential to address deep neural networks’ fundamental challenges such as intensive data requirement, computationally expensive training, and limited capacity for transfer among tasks.This book provides a concise summary of Meta-Learning theories and their diverse applications in medical imaging and health informatics. It covers the unifying theory of meta-learning and its popular variants such as model-agnostic learning, memory augmentation, prototypical networks, and learning to optimize. The book brings together thought leaders from both machine learning and health informatics fields to discuss the current state of Meta-Learning, its relevance to medical imaging and health informatics, and future directions.
