We propose BareSkinNet, a novel method that simultaneously removes makeup and lighting influences from the face image. Our method leverages a 3D morphable model and does not require a reference clean face image or a specified light condition. By combining the process of 3D face reconstruction, we can easily obtain 3D geometry and coarse 3D textures. Using this information, we can infer normalized 3D face texture maps (diffuse, normal, roughness, and specular) by an image-translation network. Consequently, reconstructed 3D face textures without undesirable information will significantly benefit subsequent processes, such as re-lighting or re-makeup. In experiments, we show that BareSkinNet outperforms state-of-the-art makeup removal methods. In addition, our method is remarkably helpful in removing makeup to generate consistent high-fidelity texture maps, which makes it extendable to many realistic face generation applications. It can also automatically build graphic assets of face makeup images before and after with corresponding 3D data. This will assist artists in accelerating their work, such as 3D makeup avatar creation.

Bundle Adjustment (BA) refers to the problem of simultaneous determination of sensor poses and scene geometry, which is a fundamental problem in robot vision. This paper presents an efficient and consistent bundle adjustment method for lidar sensors. The method employs edge and plane features to represent the scene geometry, and directly minimizes the natural Euclidean distance from each raw point to the respective geometry feature. A nice property of this formulation is that the geometry features can be analytically solved, drastically reducing the dimension of the numerical optimization. To represent and solve the resultant optimization problem more efficiently, this paper then proposes a novel concept {\it point clusters}, which encodes all raw points associated to the same feature by a compact set of parameters, the {\it point cluster coordinates}. We derive the closed-form derivatives, up to the second order, of the BA optimization based on the point cluster coordinates and show their theoretical properties such as the null spaces and sparsity. Based on these theoretical results, this paper develops an efficient second-order BA solver. Besides estimating the lidar poses, the solver also exploits the second order information to estimate the pose uncertainty caused by measurement noises, leading to consistent estimates of lidar poses. Moreover, thanks to the use of point cluster, the developed solver fundamentally avoids the enumeration of each raw point (which is very time-consuming due to the large number) in all steps of the optimization: cost evaluation, derivatives evaluation and uncertainty evaluation. The implementation of our method is open sourced to benefit the robotics community and beyond.

Investigators are increasingly using novel methods for extending (generalizing or transporting) causal inferences from a trial to a target population. In many generalizability and transportability analyses, the trial and the observational data from the target population are separately sampled, following a non-nested trial design. In practical implementations of this design, non-randomized individuals from the target population are often identified by conditioning on the use of a particular treatment, while individuals who used other candidate treatments for the same indication or individuals who did not use any treatment are excluded. In this paper, we argue that conditioning on treatment in the target population changes the estimand of generalizability and transportability analyses and potentially introduces serious bias in the estimation of causal estimands in the target population or the subset of the target population using a specific treatment. Furthermore, we argue that the naive application of marginalization-based or weighting-based standardization methods does not produce estimates of any reasonable causal estimand. We use causal graphs and counterfactual arguments to characterize the identification problems induced by conditioning on treatment in the target population and illustrate the problems using simulated data. We conclude by considering the implications of our findings for applied work.

Best subset of groups selection (BSGS) is the process of selecting a small part of non-overlapping groups to achieve the best interpretability on the response variable. It has attracted increasing attention and has far-reaching applications in practice. However, due to the computational intractability of BSGS in high-dimensional settings, developing efficient algorithms for solving BSGS remains a research hotspot. In this paper,we propose a group-splicing algorithm that iteratively detects the relevant groups and excludes the irrelevant ones. Moreover, coupled with a novel group information criterion, we develop an adaptive algorithm to determine the optimal model size. Under mild conditions, it is certifiable that our algorithm can identify the optimal subset of groups in polynomial time with high probability. Finally, we demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of our methods by comparing them with several state-of-the-art algorithms on both synthetic and real-world datasets.

We present a technique for dense 3D reconstruction of objects using an imaging sonar, also known as forward-looking sonar (FLS). Compared to previous methods that model the scene geometry as point clouds or volumetric grids, we represent the geometry as a neural implicit function. Additionally, given such a representation, we use a differentiable volumetric renderer that models the propagation of acoustic waves to synthesize imaging sonar measurements. We perform experiments on real and synthetic datasets and show that our algorithm reconstructs high-fidelity surface geometry from multi-view FLS images at much higher quality than was possible with previous techniques and without suffering from their associated memory overhead.

Asymptotic study on the partition function $p(n)$ began with the work of Hardy and Ramanujan. Later Rademacher obtained a convergent series for $p(n)$ and an error bound was given by Lehmer. Despite having this, a full asymptotic expansion for $p(n)$ with an explicit error bound is not known. Recently O'Sullivan studied the asymptotic expansion of $p^{k}(n)$-partitions into $k$th powers, initiated by Wright, and consequently obtained an asymptotic expansion for $p(n)$ along with a concise description of the coefficients involved in the expansion but without any estimation of the error term. Here we consider a detailed and comprehensive analysis on an estimation of the error term obtained by truncating the asymptotic expansion for $p(n)$ at any positive integer $n$. This gives rise to an infinite family of inequalities for $p(n)$ which finally answers to a question proposed by Chen. Our error term estimation predominantly relies on applications of algorithmic methods from symbolic summation.

Finding the optimal design of a hydrodynamic or aerodynamic surface is often impossible due to the expense of evaluating the cost functions (say, with computational fluid dynamics) needed to determine the performances of the flows that the surface controls. In addition, inherent limitations of the design space itself due to imposed geometric constraints, conventional parameterization methods, and user bias can restrict {\it all} of the designs within a chosen design space regardless of whether traditional optimization methods or newer, data-driven design algorithms with machine learning are used to search the design space. We present a 2-pronged attack to address these difficulties: we propose (1) a methodology to create the design space using morphing that we call {\it Design-by-Morphing} (DbM); and (2) an optimization algorithm to search that space that uses a novel Bayesian Optimization (BO) strategy that we call {\it Mixed variable, Multi-Objective Bayesian Optimization} (MixMOBO). We apply this shape optimization strategy to maximize the power output of a hydrokinetic turbine. Applying these two strategies in tandem, we demonstrate that we can create a novel, geometrically-unconstrained, design space of a draft tube and hub shape and then optimize them simultaneously with a {\it minimum} number of cost function calls. Our framework is versatile and can be applied to the shape optimization of a variety of fluid problems.

Parallel-in-time methods for partial differential equations (PDEs) have been the subject of intense development over recent decades, particularly for diffusion-dominated problems. It has been widely reported in the literature, however, that many of these methods perform quite poorly for advection-dominated problems. Here we analyze the particular iterative parallel-in-time algorithm of multigrid reduction-in-time (MGRIT) for discretizations of constant-wave-speed linear advection problems. We focus on common method-of-lines discretizations that employ upwind finite differences in space and Runge-Kutta methods in time. Using a convergence framework we developed in previous work, we prove for a subclass of these discretizations that, if using the standard approach of rediscretizing the fine-grid problem on the coarse grid, robust MGRIT convergence with respect to CFL number and coarsening factor is not possible. This poor convergence and non-robustness is caused, at least in part, by an inadequate coarse-grid correction for smooth Fourier modes known as characteristic components.We propose an alternative coarse-grid that provides a better correction of these modes. This coarse-grid operator is related to previous work and uses a semi-Lagrangian discretization combined with an implicitly treated truncation error correction. Theory and numerical experiments show the coarse-grid operator yields fast MGRIT convergence for many of the method-of-lines discretizations considered, including for both implicit and explicit discretizations of high order.

Unsupervised domain adaptation has recently emerged as an effective paradigm for generalizing deep neural networks to new target domains. However, there is still enormous potential to be tapped to reach the fully supervised performance. In this paper, we present a novel active learning strategy to assist knowledge transfer in the target domain, dubbed active domain adaptation. We start from an observation that energy-based models exhibit free energy biases when training (source) and test (target) data come from different distributions. Inspired by this inherent mechanism, we empirically reveal that a simple yet efficient energy-based sampling strategy sheds light on selecting the most valuable target samples than existing approaches requiring particular architectures or computation of the distances. Our algorithm, Energy-based Active Domain Adaptation (EADA), queries groups of targe data that incorporate both domain characteristic and instance uncertainty into every selection round. Meanwhile, by aligning the free energy of target data compact around the source domain via a regularization term, domain gap can be implicitly diminished. Through extensive experiments, we show that EADA surpasses state-of-the-art methods on well-known challenging benchmarks with substantial improvements, making it a useful option in the open world. Code is available at //github.com/BIT-DA/EADA.

In structure learning, the output is generally a structure that is used as supervision information to achieve good performance. Considering the interpretation of deep learning models has raised extended attention these years, it will be beneficial if we can learn an interpretable structure from deep learning models. In this paper, we focus on Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) whose inner mechanism is still not clearly understood. We find that Finite State Automaton (FSA) that processes sequential data has more interpretable inner mechanism and can be learned from RNNs as the interpretable structure. We propose two methods to learn FSA from RNN based on two different clustering methods. We first give the graphical illustration of FSA for human beings to follow, which shows the interpretability. From the FSA's point of view, we then analyze how the performance of RNNs are affected by the number of gates, as well as the semantic meaning behind the transition of numerical hidden states. Our results suggest that RNNs with simple gated structure such as Minimal Gated Unit (MGU) is more desirable and the transitions in FSA leading to specific classification result are associated with corresponding words which are understandable by human beings.
