Fashioning Creative Expertise with Generative AI: Graphical Interfaces for GAN-Based Design Space Exploration Better Support Ideation Than Text Prompts for Diffusion Models
Data-driven and model-driven methodologies can be regarded as competitive fields since they tackle similar problems such as prediction. However, these two fields can learn from each other to improve themselves. Indeed, data-driven methodologies have been d ...
Flow-based generative models have become an important class of unsupervised learning approaches. In this work, we incorporate the key ideas of renormalization group (RG) and sparse prior distribution to design a hierarchical flow-based generative model, RG ...
In several machine learning settings, the data of interest are well described by graphs. Examples include data pertaining to transportation networks or social networks. Further, biological data, such as proteins or molecules, lend themselves well to graph- ...
Despite their impressive performance on image classification tasks, deep networks have a hard time generalizing to unforeseen corruptions of their data. To fix this vulnerability, prior works have built complex data augmentation strategies, combining multi ...
In the last decade, deep neural networks have achieved tremendous success in many fields of machine learning.
However, they are shown vulnerable against adversarial attacks: well-designed, yet imperceptible, perturbations can make the state-of-the-art deep ...
This thesis consists of three applications of machine learning techniques to empirical asset pricing.
In the first part, which is co-authored work with Oksana Bashchenko, we develop a new method that detects jumps nonparametrically in financial time series ...
Optimizing resource utilization in target platforms is key to achieving high performance during DNN inference. While optimizations have been proposed for inference latency, memory footprint, and energy consumption, prior hardware-aware neural architecture ...
The research community of dialog generation has been interested in incorporating emotional information into the design of open-domain dialog systems ever since neural networks (sequence-to-sequence models in particular) were adopted for modeling dialogs. T ...
Transportation, which deals with moving people and goods around, has a clear impact on the economic development of our society and our well-being. Traditionally, transportation was studied and analyzed using expensive sensors, such as induction loops, that ...
Machine learning has become the state of the art for the solution of the diverse inverse problems arising from computer vision and medical imaging, e.g. denoising, super-resolution, de-blurring, reconstruction from scanner data, quantitative magnetic reson ...
Automated fact-checking is a needed technology to curtail the spread of online misinformation. One current framework for such solutions proposes to verify claims by retrieving supporting or refuting evidence from related textual sources. However, the reali ...
