Undoubtedly, I learned most of all from Novi Quadrianto: brainstorming our projects and getting exciting results was the most enjoyable part of my work – thank you! I am also grateful to David Knowles, Zoubin Ghahramani, Daniel Hernández-Lobato, Kristian Kersting and Anastasia Pentina for the fantastic projects we worked on together, and to Kristen Grauman and Adriana Kovashka for the exceptional experience working with user studies. I would like to thank my colleagues at IST Austria and my office mates who shared their happy moods, scientific breakthroughs and thought-provoking conversations with me: Chao, Filip, Rustem, Asya, Sameh, Alex, Vlad, Mayu, Neel, Csaba, Thomas, Vladimir, Cristina, Alex Z., Avro, Amelie and Emilie, Andreas H. and Andreas E., Chris, Lena, Michael, Ali and Ipek, Vera, Igor, Katia. Special thanks to Morten for the countless games of table soccer we played together and the tournaments we teamed up for: we will definitely win next time:) A very warm hug to Asya for always being so inspiring and supportive to me, and for helping me to increase the proportion of female computer scientists in our group.

This thesis focuses on the object recognition task in images. That is, given the image, we want the computer system to be able to predict the class of the object that appears in the image. A recent successful attempt to bridge semantic understanding of the image perceived by humans and by computers uses attribute-based models. Attributes are semantic properties of the objects shared across different categories, which humans and computers can decide on. To explore the attribute-based models we take a statistical machine learning approach, and address two key learning challenges in view of object recognition task: learning augmented attributes as mid-level discriminative feature representation, and learning with attributes as privileged information. Our main contributions are parametric and non-parametric models and algorithms to solve these frameworks. In the parametric approach, we explore an autoencoder model combined with the large margin nearest neighbor principle for mid-level feature learning, and linear support vector machines for learning with privileged information. In the non-parametric approach, we propose a supervised Indian Buffet Process for automatic augmentation of semantic attributes, and explore the Gaussian Processes classification framework for learning with privileged information. A thorough experimental analysis shows the effectiveness of the proposed models in both parametric and non-parametric views."}],"status":"public","date_updated":"2023-09-07T11:40:11Z","has_accepted_license":"1","degree_awarded":"PhD","department":[{"_id":"ChLa"},{"_id":"GradSch"}],"user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","page":"144","author":[{"id":"2EA6D09E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Sharmanska","first_name":"Viktoriia","orcid":"0000-0003-0192-9308","full_name":"Sharmanska, Viktoriia"}],"publist_id":"5806","file_date_updated":"2021-11-17T13:47:24Z","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"article_processing_charge":"No","date_published":"2015-04-01T00:00:00Z","ddc":["000"],"file":[{"date_created":"2021-02-22T11:33:17Z","file_name":"2015_Thesis_Sharmanska.pdf","file_size":7964342,"content_type":"application/pdf","date_updated":"2021-02-22T11:33:17Z","relation":"main_file","access_level":"open_access","success":1,"file_id":"9177","creator":"dernst","checksum":"3605b402bb6934e09ae4cf672c84baf7"},{"creator":"cchlebak","checksum":"e37593b3ee75bf3180629df2d6ca8f4e","file_id":"10297","access_level":"closed","relation":"main_file","file_size":7372241,"date_created":"2021-11-16T14:40:45Z","file_name":"2015_Thesis_Sharmanska_pdfa.pdf","content_type":"application/pdf","date_updated":"2021-11-17T13:47:24Z"}],"year":"2015","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:51:48Z","alternative_title":["ISTA Thesis"],"type":"dissertation","citation":{"ieee":"V.
