Blog: http://www.compthree.com/blog/autoencoder/
Code: https://github.com/compthree/variational-autoencoder
An autoencoder is a machine learning algorithm that represents unlabeled high-dimensional data as points in a low-dimensional space. A variational autoencoder (VAE) is an autoencoder that represents unlabeled high-dimensional data as low-dimensional probability distributions. In addition to data compression, the randomness of the VAE algorithm gives it a second powerful feature: the ability to generate new data similar to its training data. For example, a VAE trained on images of faces can generate a compelling image of a new "fake" face. It can also map new features onto input data, such as glasses or a mustache onto the image of a face that initially lacks these features. In this talk, we will survey VAE model designs that use deep learning, and we will implement a basic VAE in TensorFlow. We will also demonstrate the encoding and generative capabilities of VAEs and discuss their industry applications.

MVPA with SpaceNet: sparse structured priorsElvis DOHMATOB
The GraphNet (aka S-Lasso), as well as other “sparsity + structure” priors like TV (Total-Variation), TV-L1, etc., are not easily applicable to brain data because of technical problems
relating to the selection of the regularization parameters. Also, in
their own right, such models lead to challenging high-dimensional optimization problems. In this manuscript, we present some heuristics for speeding up the overall optimization process: (a) Early-stopping, whereby one halts the optimization process when the test score (performance on leftout data) for the internal cross-validation for model-selection stops improving, and (b) univariate feature-screening, whereby irrelevant (non-predictive) voxels are detected and eliminated before the optimization problem is entered, thus reducing the size of the problem. Empirical results with GraphNet on real MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) datasets indicate that these heuristics are a win-win strategy, as they add speed without sacrificing the quality of the predictions. We expect the proposed heuristics to work on other models like TV-L1, etc.

Backpropagation And Gradient Descent In Neural Networks | Neural Network Tuto...Simplilearn
This presentation about backpropagation and gradient descent will cover the basics of how backpropagation and gradient descent plays a role in training neural networks - using an example on how to recognize the handwritten digits using a neural network. After predicting the results, you will see how to train the network using backpropagation to obtain the results with high accuracy. Backpropagation is the process of updating the parameters of a network to reduce the error in prediction. You will also understand how to calculate the loss function to measure the error in the model. Finally, you will see with the help of a graph, how to find the minimum of a function using gradient descent. Now, let’s get started with learning backpropagation and gradient descent in neural networks.

Image segmentation is a classic computer vision task that aims at labeling pixels with semantic classes. These slides provide an overview of the basic approaches applied from the deep learning field to tackle this challenge and presents the basic subtasks (semantic, instance and panoptic segmentation) and related datasets.
Presented at the International Summer School on Deep Learning (ISSonDL) 2020 held online and organized by the University of Gdansk (Poland) between the 30th August and 2nd September.
http://2020.dl-lab.eu/virtual-summer-school-on-deep-learning/
This document provides an overview of deep generative learning and summarizes several key generative models including GANs, VAEs, diffusion models, and autoregressive models. It discusses the motivation for generative models and their applications such as image generation, text-to-image synthesis, and enhancing other media like video and speech. Example state-of-the-art models are provided for each application. The document also covers important concepts like the difference between discriminative and generative modeling, sampling techniques, and the training procedures for GANs and VAEs.
Machine translation and computer vision have greatly benefited from the advances in deep learning. A large and diverse amount of textual and visual data have been used to train neural networks whether in a supervised or self-supervised manner. Nevertheless, the convergence of the two fields in sign language translation and production still poses multiple open challenges, like the low video resources, limitations in hand pose estimation, or 3D spatial grounding from poses.
The transformer is the neural architecture that has received most attention in the early 2020's. It removed the recurrency in RNNs, replacing it with and attention mechanism across the input and output tokens of a sequence (cross-attenntion) and between the tokens composing the input (and output) sequences, named self-attention.
These slides review the research of our lab since 2016 on applied deep learning, starting from our participation in the TRECVID Instance Search 2014, moving into video analysis with CNN+RNN architectures, and our current efforts in sign language translation and production.
Machine translation and computer vision have greatly benefited of the advances in deep learning. The large and diverse amount of textual and visual data have been used to train neural networks whether in a supervised or self-supervised manner. Nevertheless, the convergence of the two field in sign language translation and production is still poses multiple open challenges, like the low video resources, limitations in hand pose estimation, or 3D spatial grounding from poses. This talk will present these challenges and the How2✌️Sign dataset (https://how2sign.github.io) recorded at CMU in collaboration with UPC, BSC, Gallaudet University and Facebook.

Integrating computer vision with natural language processing has achieved significant progress
over the last years owing to the continuous evolution of deep learning. A novel vision and language
task, which is tackled in the present Master thesis is referring video object segmentation, in which a
language query defines which instance to segment from a video sequence. One of the biggest chal-
lenges for this task is the lack of relatively large annotated datasets since a tremendous amount of
time and human effort is required for annotation. Moreover, existing datasets suffer from poor qual-
ity annotations in the sense that approximately one out of ten language expressions fails to uniquely
describe the target object.
The purpose of the present Master thesis is to address these challenges by proposing a novel
method for generating synthetic referring expressions for an image (video frame). This method pro-
duces synthetic referring expressions by using only the ground-truth annotations of the objects as well
as their attributes, which are detected by a state-of-the-art object detection deep neural network. One
of the advantages of the proposed method is that its formulation allows its application to any object
detection or segmentation dataset.
By using the proposed method, the first large-scale dataset with synthetic referring expressions for
video object segmentation is created, based on an existing large benchmark dataset for video instance
segmentation. A statistical analysis and comparison of the created synthetic dataset with existing ones
is also provided in the present Master thesis.
The conducted experiments on three different datasets used for referring video object segmen-
tation prove the efficiency of the generated synthetic data. More specifically, the obtained results
demonstrate that by pre-training a deep neural network with the proposed synthetic dataset one can
improve the ability of the network to generalize across different datasets, without any additional annotation cost. This outcome is even more important taking into account that no additional annotation cost is involved.

Pre-training Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents in a task-agnostic manner has shown promising results. However, previous works still struggle to learn and discover meaningful skills in high-dimensional state-spaces. We approach the problem by leveraging unsupervised skill discovery and self-supervised learning of state representations. In our work, we learn a compact latent representation by making use of variational or contrastive techniques. We demonstrate that both allow learning a set of basic navigation skills by maximizing an information theoretic objective. We assess our method in Minecraft 3D maps with different complexities. Our results show that representations and conditioned policies learned from pixels are enough for toy examples, but do not scale to realistic and complex maps. We also explore alternative rewards and input observations to overcome these limitations.

Sign language recognition and translation has been an active research field in the recent years with most approaches using deep neural networks to extract information from sign language data. This work investigates the mostly disregarded approach of using human keypoint estimation from image and video data with OpenPose in combination with transformer network architecture. Firstly, it was shown that it is possible to recognize individual signs (4.5% word error rate (WER)). Continuous sign language recognition though was more error prone (77.3% WER) and sign language translation was not possible using the proposed methods, which might be due to low accuracy scores of human keypoint estimation by OpenPose and accompanying loss of information or insufficient capacities of the used transformer model. Results may improve with the use of datasets containing higher repetition rates of individual signs or focusing more precisely on keypoint extraction of hands.

Deep neural networks have boosted the convergence of multimedia data analytics in a unified framework shared by practitioners in natural language, vision and speech. Image captioning, lip reading or video sonorization are some of the first applications of a new and exciting field of research exploiting the generalization properties of deep neural representation. This tutorial will firstly review the basic neural architectures to encode and decode vision, text and audio, to later review the those models that have successfully translated information across modalities.

Video object segmentation can be understood as a sequence-to-sequence task that can benefit from the curriculum learning strategies for better and faster training of deep neural networks. This work explores different schedule sampling and frame skipping variations to significantly improve the performance of a recurrent architecture. Our results on the car class of the KITTI-MOTS challenge indicate that, surprisingly, an inverse schedule sampling is a better option than a classic forward one. Also, that a progressive skipping of frames during training is beneficial, but only when training with the ground truth masks instead of the predicted ones.
Deep neural networks have achieved outstanding results in various applications such as vision, language, audio, speech, or reinforcement learning. These powerful function approximators typically require large amounts of data to be trained, which poses a challenge in the usual case where little labeled data is available. During the last year, multiple solutions have been proposed to leverage this problem, based on the concept of self-supervised learning, which can be understood as a specific case of unsupervised learning. This talk will cover its basic principles and provide examples in the field of multimedia.
Deep neural networks have revolutionized the data analytics scene by improving results in several and diverse benchmarks with the same recipe: learning feature representations from data. These achievements have raised the interest across multiple scientific fields, especially in those where large amounts of data and computation are available. This change of paradigm in data analytics has several ethical and economic implications that are driving large investments, political debates and sounding press coverage under the generic label of artificial intelligence (AI). This talk will present the fundamentals of deep learning through the classic example of image classification, and point at how the same principal has been adopted for several tasks. Finally, some of the forthcoming potentials and risks for AI will be pointed.

Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.

We want our model with parameters θ to output samples distributed Pmodel,
matching the distribution of our training data Pdata or P(X).
Example) y = f(x), where y is scalar, make Pmodel similar to Pdata by training
the parameters θ to maximize their similarity.

9. Key Idea: our model cares about what distribution generated the input data
points, and we want to mimic it with our probabilistic model. Our learned
model should be able to make up new samples from the distribution, not
