The inductive bias of deep learning: Connecting weights and functions

Guillermo Ortiz Jimenez

Years of a fierce competition have naturally selected the fittest deep learning algorithms. Yet, although these models work well in practice, we still lack a proper characterization of why they do so. This poses serious questions about the robustness, trus ...

Person Retrieval in Surveillance Videos Via Deep Attribute Mining and Reasoning

Zhen Wei, Zhiye Wang, Peixia Li

Person retrieval largely relies on the appearance features of pedestrians. This task is rather more difficult in surveillance videos due to the limitations of extracting robust appearance features brought by the cross-view and cross-camera data with lower ...

Multitask Learning Over Graphs: An Approach for Distributed, Streaming Machine Learning

Ali H. Sayed, Jie Chen, Stefan Vlaski, Roula Nassif

The problem of simultaneously learning several related tasks has received considerable attention in several domains, especially in machine learning, with the so-called multitask learning (MTL) problem, or learning to learn problem [1], [2]. MTL is an appro ...

Experimental warming differentially affects microbial structure and activity in two contrasted moisture sites in a Sphagnum-dominated peatland

Alexandre Buttler, Luca Bragazza, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey

Several studies on the impact of climate warming have indicated that peat decomposition/mineralization will be enhanced. Most of these studies deal with the impact of experimental warming during summer when prevalent abiotic conditions are favorable to dec ...

Annotating the meaning of discourse connectives by looking at their translation: The translation-spotting technique

Thomas Meyer

The various meanings of discourse connectives like while and however are difficult to identify and annotate, even for trained human annotators. This problem is all the more important that connectives are salient textual markers of cohesion and need to be c ...
