Despite the great success of deep learning in stereo matching, recovering accurate and clearly-contoured disparity map is still challenging. Currently, L1 loss and cross-entropy loss are the two most widely used loss functions for training the stereo matching networks. Comparing with the former, the latter can usually achieve better results thanks to its direct constraint to the the cost volume. However, how to generate reasonable ground-truth distribution for this loss function remains largely under exploited. Existing works assume uni-modal distributions around the ground-truth for all of the pixels, which ignores the fact that the edge pixels may have multi-modal distributions. In this paper, we first experimentally exhibit the importance of correct edge supervision to the overall disparity accuracy. Then a novel adaptive multi-modal cross-entropy loss which encourages the network to generate different distribution patterns for edge and non-edge pixels is proposed. We further optimize the disparity estimator in the inference stage to alleviate the bleeding and misalignment artifacts at the edge. Our method is generic and can help classic stereo matching models regain competitive performance. GANet trained by our loss ranks 1st on the KITTI 2015 and 2012 benchmarks and outperforms state-of-the-art methods by a large margin. Meanwhile, our method also exhibits superior cross-domain generalization ability and outperforms existing generalization-specialized methods on four popular real-world datasets.

We consider the problem of sequentially optimizing a time-varying objective function using time-varying Bayesian optimization (TVBO). Here, the key challenge is the exploration-exploitation trade-off under time variations. Current approaches to TVBO require prior knowledge of a constant rate of change. However, in practice, the rate of change is usually unknown. We propose an event-triggered algorithm, ET-GP-UCB, that treats the optimization problem as static until it detects changes in the objective function online and then resets the dataset. This allows the algorithm to adapt to realized temporal changes without the need for prior knowledge. The event-trigger is based on probabilistic uniform error bounds used in Gaussian process regression. We provide regret bounds for ET-GP-UCB and show in numerical experiments that it outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms on synthetic and real-world data. Furthermore, these results demonstrate that ET-GP-UCB is readily applicable to various settings without tuning hyperparameters.

The issue of ensuring privacy for users who share their personal information has been a growing priority in a business and scientific environment where the use of different types of data and the laws that protect it have increased in tandem. Different technologies have been widely developed for static publications, i.e., where the information is published only once, such as k-anonymity and {\epsilon}-differential privacy. In the case where microdata information is published dynamically, although established notions such as m-invariance and {\tau}-safety already exist, developments for improving utility remain superficial. We propose a new heuristic approach for the NP-hard combinatorial problem of m-invariance and {\tau}-safety, which is based on a mathematical optimization column generation scheme. The quality of a solution to m-invariance and {\tau}-safety can be measured by the Information Loss (IL), a value in [0,100], the closer to 0 the better. We show that our approach improves by far current heuristics, providing in some instances solutions with ILs of 1.87, 8.5 and 1.93, while the state-of-the art methods reported ILs of 39.03, 51.84 and 57.97, respectively.

Theoretical studies on transfer learning or domain adaptation have so far focused on situations with a known hypothesis class or model; however in practice, some amount of model selection is usually involved, often appearing under the umbrella term of hyperparameter-tuning: for example, one may think of the problem of tuning for the right neural network architecture towards a target task, while leveraging data from a related source task. Now, in addition to the usual tradeoffs on approximation vs estimation errors involved in model selection, this problem brings in a new complexity term, namely, the transfer distance between source and target distributions, which is known to vary with the choice of hypothesis class. We present a first study of this problem, focusing on classification; in particular, the analysis reveals some remarkable phenomena: adaptive rates, i.e., those achievable with no distributional information, can be arbitrarily slower than oracle rates, i.e., when given knowledge on distances.

Art forms such as movies and television (TV) dramas are reflections of the real world, which have attracted much attention from the multimodal learning community recently. However, existing corpora in this domain share three limitations: (1) annotated in a scene-oriented fashion, they ignore the coherence within plots; (2) their text lacks empathy and seldom mentions situational context; (3) their video clips fail to cover long-form relationship due to short duration. To address these fundamental issues, using 1,106 TV drama episodes and 24,875 informative plot-focused sentences written by professionals, with the help of 449 human annotators, we constructed PTVD, the first plot-oriented multimodal dataset in the TV domain. It is also the first non-English dataset of its kind. Additionally, PTVD contains more than 26 million bullet screen comments (BSCs), powering large-scale pre-training. Next, aiming to open-source a strong baseline for follow-up works, we developed the multimodal algorithm that attacks different cinema/TV modelling problems with a unified architecture. Extensive experiments on three cognitive-inspired tasks yielded a number of novel observations (some of them being quite counter-intuition), further validating the value of PTVD in promoting multimodal research. The dataset and codes are released at \url{//ptvd.github.io/}.

Optimal design is a critical yet challenging task within many applications. This challenge arises from the need for extensive trial and error, often done through simulations or running field experiments. Fortunately, sequential optimal design, also referred to as Bayesian optimization when using surrogates with a Bayesian flavor, has played a key role in accelerating the design process through efficient sequential sampling strategies. However, a key opportunity exists nowadays. The increased connectivity of edge devices sets forth a new collaborative paradigm for Bayesian optimization. A paradigm whereby different clients collaboratively borrow strength from each other by effectively distributing their experimentation efforts to improve and fast-track their optimal design process. To this end, we bring the notion of consensus to Bayesian optimization, where clients agree (i.e., reach a consensus) on their next-to-sample designs. Our approach provides a generic and flexible framework that can incorporate different collaboration mechanisms. In lieu of this, we propose transitional collaborative mechanisms where clients initially rely more on each other to maneuver through the early stages with scant data, then, at the late stages, focus on their own objectives to get client-specific solutions. Theoretically, we show the sub-linear growth in regret for our proposed framework. Empirically, through simulated datasets and a real-world collaborative material discovery experiment, we show that our framework can effectively accelerate and improve the optimal design process and benefit all participants.

Deadlocks are one of the most notorious concurrency bugs, and significant research has focused on detecting them efficiently. Dynamic predictive analyses work by observing concurrent executions, and reason about alternative interleavings that can witness concurrency bugs. Such techniques offer scalability and sound bug reports, and have emerged as an effective approach for concurrency bug detection, such as data races. Effective dynamic deadlock prediction, however, has proven a challenging task, as no deadlock predictor currently meets the requirements of soundness, high-precision, and efficiency. In this paper, we first formally establish that this tradeoff is unavoidable, by showing that (a) sound and complete deadlock prediction is intractable, in general, and (b) even the seemingly simpler task of determining the presence of potential deadlocks, which often serve as unsound witnesses for actual predictable deadlocks, is intractable. The main contribution of this work is a new class of predictable deadlocks, called sync(hronization)-preserving deadlocks. Informally, these are deadlocks that can be predicted by reordering the observed execution while preserving the relative order of conflicting critical sections. We present two algorithms for sound deadlock prediction based on this notion. Our first algorithm SPDOffline detects all sync-preserving deadlocks, with running time that is linear per abstract deadlock pattern, a novel notion also introduced in this work. Our second algorithm SPDOnline predicts all sync-preserving deadlocks that involve two threads in a strictly online fashion, runs in overall linear time, and is better suited for a runtime monitoring setting. We implemented both our algorithms and evaluated their ability to perform offline and online deadlock-prediction on a large dataset of standard benchmarks.

Existing machine learning models have proven to fail when it comes to their performance for minority groups, mainly due to biases in data. In particular, datasets, especially social data, are often not representative of minorities. In this paper, we consider the problem of representation bias identification on image datasets without explicit attribute values. Using the notion of data coverage for detecting a lack of representation, we develop multiple crowdsourcing approaches. Our core approach, at a high level, is a divide and conquer algorithm that applies a search space pruning strategy to efficiently identify if a dataset misses proper coverage for a given group. We provide a different theoretical analysis of our algorithm, including a tight upper bound on its performance which guarantees its near-optimality. Using this algorithm as the core, we propose multiple heuristics to reduce the coverage detection cost across different cases with multiple intersectional/non-intersectional groups. We demonstrate how the pre-trained predictors are not reliable and hence not sufficient for detecting representation bias in the data. Finally, we adjust our core algorithm to utilize existing models for predicting image group(s) to minimize the coverage identification cost. We conduct extensive experiments, including live experiments on Amazon Mechanical Turk to validate our problem and evaluate our algorithms' performance.

3D multi-person motion prediction is a challenging task that involves modeling individual behaviors and interactions between people. Despite the emergence of approaches for this task, comparing them is difficult due to the lack of standardized training settings and benchmark datasets. In this paper, we introduce the Multi-Person Interaction Motion (MI-Motion) Dataset, which includes skeleton sequences of multiple individuals collected by motion capture systems and refined and synthesized using a game engine. The dataset contains 167k frames of interacting people's skeleton poses and is categorized into 5 different activity scenes. To facilitate research in multi-person motion prediction, we also provide benchmarks to evaluate the performance of prediction methods in three settings: short-term, long-term, and ultra-long-term prediction. Additionally, we introduce a novel baseline approach that leverages graph and temporal convolutional networks, which has demonstrated competitive results in multi-person motion prediction. We believe that the proposed MI-Motion benchmark dataset and baseline will facilitate future research in this area, ultimately leading to better understanding and modeling of multi-person interactions.

In this paper, we propose a novel multi-task learning architecture, which incorporates recent advances in attention mechanisms. Our approach, the Multi-Task Attention Network (MTAN), consists of a single shared network containing a global feature pool, together with task-specific soft-attention modules, which are trainable in an end-to-end manner. These attention modules allow for learning of task-specific features from the global pool, whilst simultaneously allowing for features to be shared across different tasks. The architecture can be built upon any feed-forward neural network, is simple to implement, and is parameter efficient. Experiments on the CityScapes dataset show that our method outperforms several baselines in both single-task and multi-task learning, and is also more robust to the various weighting schemes in the multi-task loss function. We further explore the effectiveness of our method through experiments over a range of task complexities, and show how our method scales well with task complexity compared to baselines.
