The objective of this work is the effective extraction of spatial and dynamic features for Continuous Sign Language Recognition (CSLR). To accomplish this, we utilise a two-pathway SlowFast network, where each pathway operates at distinct temporal resolutions to separately capture spatial (hand shapes, facial expressions) and dynamic (movements) information. In addition, we introduce two distinct feature fusion methods, carefully designed for the characteristics of CSLR: (1) Bi-directional Feature Fusion (BFF), which facilitates the transfer of dynamic semantics into spatial semantics and vice versa; and (2) Pathway Feature Enhancement (PFE), which enriches dynamic and spatial representations through auxiliary subnetworks, while avoiding the need for extra inference time. As a result, our model further strengthens spatial and dynamic representations in parallel. We demonstrate that the proposed framework outperforms the current state-of-the-art performance on popular CSLR datasets, including PHOENIX14, PHOENIX14-T, and CSL-Daily.

Video frame interpolation is an important low-level vision task, which can increase frame rate for more fluent visual experience. Existing methods have achieved great success by employing advanced motion models and synthesis networks. However, the spatial redundancy when synthesizing the target frame has not been fully explored, that can result in lots of inefficient computation. On the other hand, the computation compression degree in frame interpolation is highly dependent on both texture distribution and scene motion, which demands to understand the spatial-temporal information of each input frame pair for a better compression degree selection. In this work, we propose a novel two-stage frame interpolation framework termed WaveletVFI to address above problems. It first estimates intermediate optical flow with a lightweight motion perception network, and then a wavelet synthesis network uses flow aligned context features to predict multi-scale wavelet coefficients with sparse convolution for efficient target frame reconstruction, where the sparse valid masks that control computation in each scale are determined by a crucial threshold ratio. Instead of setting a fixed value like previous methods, we find that embedding a classifier in the motion perception network to learn a dynamic threshold for each sample can achieve more computation reduction with almost no loss of accuracy. On the common high resolution and animation frame interpolation benchmarks, proposed WaveletVFI can reduce computation up to 40% while maintaining similar accuracy, making it perform more efficiently against other state-of-the-arts.

Knowledge distillation (KD) is a powerful model compression technique broadly used in practical deep learning applications. It is focused on training a small student network to mimic a larger teacher network. While it is widely known that KD can offer an improvement to student generalization in i.i.d setting, its performance under domain shift, i.e. the performance of student networks on data from domains unseen during training, has received little attention in the literature. In this paper we make a step towards bridging the research fields of knowledge distillation and domain generalization. We show that weight averaging techniques proposed in domain generalization literature, such as SWAD and SMA, also improve the performance of knowledge distillation under domain shift. In addition, we propose a simplistic weight averaging strategy that does not require evaluation on validation data during training and show that it performs on par with SWAD and SMA when applied to KD. We name our final distillation approach Weight-Averaged Knowledge Distillation (WAKD).

Fitness landscapes have historically been a powerful tool for analyzing the search space explored by evolutionary algorithms. In particular, they facilitate understanding how easily reachable an optimal solution is from a given starting point. However, simple fitness landscapes are inappropriate for analyzing the search space seen by selection schemes like lexicase selection in which the outcome of selection depends heavily on the current contents of the population (i.e. selection schemes with complex ecological dynamics). Here, we propose borrowing a tool from ecology to solve this problem: community assembly graphs. We demonstrate a simple proof-of-concept for this approach on an NK Landscape where we have perfect information. We then demonstrate that this approach can be successfully applied to a complex genetic programming problem. While further research is necessary to understand how to best use this tool, we believe it will be a valuable addition to our toolkit and facilitate analyses that were previously impossible.

In scene graph generation (SGG), learning with cross-entropy loss yields biased predictions owing to the severe imbalance in the distribution of the relationship labels in the dataset. Thus, this study proposes a method to generate scene graphs using optimal transport as a measure for comparing two probability distributions. We apply learning with the optimal transport loss, which reflects the similarity between the labels in terms of transportation cost, for predicate classification in SGG. In the proposed approach, the transportation cost of the optimal transport is defined using the similarity of words obtained from the pre-trained model. The experimental evaluation of the effectiveness demonstrates that the proposed method outperforms existing methods in terms of mean Recall@50 and 100. Furthermore, it improves the recall of the relationship labels scarcely available in the dataset.

Trajectory retiming is the task of computing a feasible time parameterization to traverse a path. It is commonly used in the decoupled approach to trajectory optimization whereby a path is first found, then a retiming algorithm computes a speed profile that satisfies kino-dynamic and other constraints. While trajectory retiming is most often formulated with the minimum-time objective (i.e. traverse the path as fast as possible), it is not always the most desirable objective, particularly when we seek to balance multiple objectives or when bang-bang control is unsuitable. In this paper, we present a novel algorithm based on factor graph variable elimination that can solve for the global optimum of the retiming problem with quadratic objectives as well (e.g. minimize control effort or match a nominal speed by minimizing squared error), which may extend to arbitrary objectives with iteration. Our work extends prior works, which find only solutions on the boundary of the feasible region, while maintaining the same linear time complexity from a single forward-backward pass. We experimentally demonstrate that (1) we achieve better real-world robot performance by using quadratic objectives in place of the minimum-time objective, and (2) our implementation is comparable or faster than state-of-the-art retiming algorithms.

The aim of this work is to develop a fully-distributed algorithmic framework for training graph convolutional networks (GCNs). The proposed method is able to exploit the meaningful relational structure of the input data, which are collected by a set of agents that communicate over a sparse network topology. After formulating the centralized GCN training problem, we first show how to make inference in a distributed scenario where the underlying data graph is split among different agents. Then, we propose a distributed gradient descent procedure to solve the GCN training problem. The resulting model distributes computation along three lines: during inference, during back-propagation, and during optimization. Convergence to stationary solutions of the GCN training problem is also established under mild conditions. Finally, we propose an optimization criterion to design the communication topology between agents in order to match with the graph describing data relationships. A wide set of numerical results validate our proposal. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work combining graph convolutional neural networks with distributed optimization.

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have been shown to be effective models for different predictive tasks on graph-structured data. Recent work on their expressive power has focused on isomorphism tasks and countable feature spaces. We extend this theoretical framework to include continuous features - which occur regularly in real-world input domains and within the hidden layers of GNNs - and we demonstrate the requirement for multiple aggregation functions in this context. Accordingly, we propose Principal Neighbourhood Aggregation (PNA), a novel architecture combining multiple aggregators with degree-scalers (which generalize the sum aggregator). Finally, we compare the capacity of different models to capture and exploit the graph structure via a novel benchmark containing multiple tasks taken from classical graph theory, alongside existing benchmarks from real-world domains, all of which demonstrate the strength of our model. With this work, we hope to steer some of the GNN research towards new aggregation methods which we believe are essential in the search for powerful and robust models.

How can we estimate the importance of nodes in a knowledge graph (KG)? A KG is a multi-relational graph that has proven valuable for many tasks including question answering and semantic search. In this paper, we present GENI, a method for tackling the problem of estimating node importance in KGs, which enables several downstream applications such as item recommendation and resource allocation. While a number of approaches have been developed to address this problem for general graphs, they do not fully utilize information available in KGs, or lack flexibility needed to model complex relationship between entities and their importance. To address these limitations, we explore supervised machine learning algorithms. In particular, building upon recent advancement of graph neural networks (GNNs), we develop GENI, a GNN-based method designed to deal with distinctive challenges involved with predicting node importance in KGs. Our method performs an aggregation of importance scores instead of aggregating node embeddings via predicate-aware attention mechanism and flexible centrality adjustment. In our evaluation of GENI and existing methods on predicting node importance in real-world KGs with different characteristics, GENI achieves 5-17% higher NDCG@100 than the state of the art.

It is important to detect anomalous inputs when deploying machine learning systems. The use of larger and more complex inputs in deep learning magnifies the difficulty of distinguishing between anomalous and in-distribution examples. At the same time, diverse image and text data are available in enormous quantities. We propose leveraging these data to improve deep anomaly detection by training anomaly detectors against an auxiliary dataset of outliers, an approach we call Outlier Exposure (OE). This enables anomaly detectors to generalize and detect unseen anomalies. In extensive experiments on natural language processing and small- and large-scale vision tasks, we find that Outlier Exposure significantly improves detection performance. We also observe that cutting-edge generative models trained on CIFAR-10 may assign higher likelihoods to SVHN images than to CIFAR-10 images; we use OE to mitigate this issue. We also analyze the flexibility and robustness of Outlier Exposure, and identify characteristics of the auxiliary dataset that improve performance.
