We address 3D human pose and shape estimations from multi-view images. We use the SMPL body model, and regress the model parameters that best fit the shape and pose. To solve for the parameters, we first compute 3D joint positions from 2D joint estimations on images by using a linear algebraic triangulation. Then, we fit the 3D parametric body model to the 3D joints while imposing a bone orientation constraint between the 3D model and the corresponding body parts detected in the images.

At present, the performance of the end-to-end stereo matching networks based on CNN greatly exceed the traditional stereo matching networks, but the accuracy in those ill-posed regions like foreground areas is still not optimistic. In this paper, we propose a novel design to improve the prediction performance of disparity in foreground. First, a multi-scale pyramid aggregation module with hourglass-like structure is designed to effectively utilize the aggregation information of different scales.

A singular problem that mars the wide applicability of machine learning (ML) models is the lack of generalizability and interpretability. The ML community is increasingly working on bridging this gap. Prominent among them are methods that study causal significance of features, with techniques such as Average Causal Effect (ACE). In this paper, our objective is to utilize the causal analysis framework to measure the significance level of the features in binary classification task.

Autonomous Vehicles promise to transport people in a safer, accessible, and even efficient way. Nowadays, real-world autonomous vehicles are build by large teams from big companies with a tremendous amount of engineering effort. Deep Reinforcement Learning can be used instead, without domain experts, to learn end-to-end driving policies. Here, we combine Curriculum Learning with deep reinforcement learning, in order to learn without any prior domain knowledge, an end-to-end competitive driving policy for the CARLA autonomous driving simulator.

In many of the existing alpha matting implementations, an intermediate representation called a trimap needs to be created manually. To automate the process, we propose a generic neural network for trimap generation based on saliency map detection. Our model multi-modally learns a saliency map and a trimap simultaneously. Because of this structure, the network focuses on reducing the error of the trimap especially within the areas with high salience.

Three features are crucial for sequential forecasting and generation models: tractability, expressiveness, and theoretical backing. While neural autoregressive models are relatively tractable and offer powerful predictive and generative capabilities, they often have complex optimization landscapes, and their theoretical properties are not well understood. To address these issues, we present convex formulations of autoregressive models with one hidden layer.

Collecting a large number of reliable training images annotated by multiple land-cover class labels in the framework of multi-label classification is time-consuming and costly in remote sensing (RS). To address this problem, publicly available thematic products are often used for annotating RS images with zero-labeling-cost. However, such an approach may result in constructing a training set with noisy multi-labels, distorting the learning process. To address this problem, we propose a Consensual Collaborative Multi-Label Learning (CCML) method.

We summarise previous work showing that the basic sigmoid activation function arises as an instance of Bayes’s theorem, and that recurrence follows from the prior. We derive a layer- wise recurrence without the assumptions of previous work, and show that it leads to a standard recurrence with modest modifications to reflect use of log-probabilities. The resulting architecture closely resembles the Li-GRU which is the current state of the art for ASR. Although the contribution is mainly theoretical, we show that it is able to outperform the state of the art on the TIMIT and AMI datasets.
