Complex Representation Learning with Graph Convolutional Networks for Knowledge Graph Alignment

Thanh Trung Huynh, Quoc Viet Hung Nguyen, Thành Tâm Nguyên

The task of discovering equivalent entities in knowledge graphs (KGs), so-called KG entity alignment, has drawn much attention to overcome the incompleteness problem of KGs. The majority of existing techniques learns the pointwise representations of entiti ...

Online Contention Resolution Schemes With Applications To Bayesian Selection Problems

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Moran Feldman, Rico Zenklusen

We introduce a new rounding technique designed for online optimization problems, which is related to contention resolution schemes, a technique initially introduced in the context of submodular function maximization. Our rounding technique, which we call o ...

UCLID-Net: Single View Reconstruction in Object Space

Pascal Fua, Benoît Alain René Guillard, Edoardo Remelli

Most state-of-the-art deep geometric learning single-view reconstruction approaches rely on encoder-decoder architectures that output either shape parametrizations or implicit representations. However, these representations rarely preserve the Euclidean st ...

Coordinate Difference Matrices

Martin Vetterli, Gilles Baechler, Miranda Krekovic, Golnooshsadat Elhami

In many problems such as phase retrieval, molecular biology, source localization, and sensor array calibration, one can measure vector differences between pairs of points and attempt to recover the position of these points; this class of problems is called ...

Better Guarantees for k-Means and Euclidean k-Median by Primal-Dual Algorithms

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Ashkan Norouzi Fard, Justin Dean Ward

Clustering is a classic topic in optimization with k-means being one of the most fundamental such problems. In the absence of any restrictions on the input, the best-known algorithm for k-means in Euclidean space with a provable guarantee is a simple local ...

Semi-discrete optimal transport: a solution procedure for the unsquared Euclidean distance case

Valentin Hartmann

We consider the problem of finding an optimal transport plan between an absolutely continuous measure and a finitely supported measure of the same total mass when the transport cost is the unsquared Euclidean distance. We may think of this problem as close ...

SPRINGER HEIDELBERG2020

We present a general theory of Group equivariant Convolutional Neural Networks (G-CNNs) on homogeneous spaces such as Euclidean space and the sphere. Feature maps in these networks represent fields on a homogeneous base space, and layers are equivariant ma ...

epsilon-Coresets for Clustering (with Outliers) in Doubling Metrics

Jian Li, Lingxiao Huang

We study the problem of constructing epsilon-coresets for the (k, z)-clustering problem in a doubling metric M(X, d). An epsilon-coreset is a weighted subset S subset of X with weight function w : S -> R->= 0, such that for any k-subset C is an element of ...

Improved stability of optimal traffic paths

Maria Colombo

Models involving branched structures are employed to describe several supply-demand systems such as the structure of the nerves of a leaf, the system of roots of a tree, and the nervous or cardiovascular systems. Given a flow (traffic path) that transports ...
