With the vigorous development of artificial intelligence technology, various engineering technology applications have been implemented one after another. The gradient descent method plays an important role in solving various optimization problems, due to its simple structure, good stability and easy implementation… In multi-node machine learning system, the gradients usually need to be shared. Data reconstruction attacks can reconstruct training data simply by knowing the gradient information. In this paper, to prevent gradient leakage while keeping the accuracy of model, we […]

Since many real-world data can be described from multiple views, multi-view learning has attracted considerable attention. Various methods have been proposed and successfully applied to multi-view learning, typically based on matrix factorization models… Recently, it is extended to the deep structure to exploit the hierarchical information of multi-view data, but the view-specific features and the label information are seldom considered. To address these concerns, we present a partially shared semi-supervised deep matrix factorization model (PSDMF). By integrating the partially shared […]

In this paper, we explore a process called neural teleportation, a mathematical consequence of applying quiver representation theory to neural networks. Neural teleportation “teleports” a network to a new position in the weight space, while leaving its function unchanged… This concept generalizes the notion of positive scale invariance of ReLU networks to any network with any activation functions and any architecture. In this paper, we shed light on surprising and counter-intuitive consequences neural teleportation has on the loss landscape. In […]

General image super-resolution techniques have difficulties in recovering detailed face structures when applying to low resolution face images. Recent deep learning based methods tailored for face images have achieved improved performance by jointly trained with additional task such as face parsing and landmark prediction… However, multi-task learning requires extra manually labeled data. Besides, most of the existing works can only generate relatively low resolution face images (e.g., $128times128$), and their applications are therefore limited. In this paper, we introduce a […]

Although current CCG supertaggers achieve high accuracy on the standard WSJ test set, few systems make use of the categories’ internal structure that will drive the syntactic derivation during parsing. The tagset is traditionally truncated, discarding the many rare and complex category types in the long tail… However, supertags are themselves trees. Rather than give up on rare tags, we investigate constructive models that account for this internal structure, including novel methods for tree-structured prediction. Our best tagger is capable […]

Over the years, datasets and benchmarks have had an outsized influence on the design of novel algorithms. In this paper, we introduce ChairSegments, a novel and compact semi-synthetic dataset for object segmentation… We also show empirical findings in transfer learning that mirror recent findings for image classification. We particularly show that models that are fine-tuned from a pretrained set of weights lie in the same basin of the optimization landscape. ChairSegments consists of a diverse set of prototypical images of […]

Aligning two partially-overlapped 3D line reconstructions in Euclidean space is challenging, as we need to simultaneously solve correspondences and relative pose between line reconstructions. This paper proposes a neural network based method and it has three modules connected in sequence: (i) a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) based network takes Pluecker representations of lines as inputs, to extract discriminative line-wise features and matchabilities (how likely each line is going to have a match), (ii) an Optimal Transport (OT) layer takes two-view line-wise […]

We propose a framework that extends Blender to exploit Structure from Motion (SfM) and Multi-View Stereo (MVS) techniques for image-based modeling tasks such as sculpting or camera and motion tracking. Applying SfM allows us to determine camera motions without manually defining feature tracks or calibrating the cameras used to capture the image data… With MVS we are able to automatically compute dense scene models, which is not feasible with the built-in tools of Blender. Currently, our framework supports several state-of-the-art […]
