Training convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for very high-resolution images requires a large quantity of high-quality pixel-level annotations, which is extremely labor-intensive and time-consuming to produce. Moreover, professional photograph interpreter ...

Information is the resolution of uncertainty and manifests itself as patterns. Although complex, most observable phenomena are not random and instead are associated with deterministic, chaotic systems. The underlying patterns and symmetries expressed from ...

There are increasing interests in document layout representation learning and understanding. Transformer, with its great power, has become the mainstream model architecture and achieved promising results in this area. As elements in a document layout consi ...

Covariance estimation is ubiquitous in functional data analysis. Yet, the case of functional observations over multidimensional domains introduces computational and statistical challenges, rendering the standard methods effectively inapplicable. To address ...

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 ...

We present an image-based pipeline for generating geometrical digital twins (GDTs) of stone masonry elements with detail down to the stone level. For this purpose, we acquire RGB images of the individual stones and of the wall during the construction phase ...

This thesis focuses on non-parametric covariance estimation for random surfaces, i.e.~functional data on a two-dimensional domain. Non-parametric covariance estimation lies at the heart of functional data analysis, and considerations of statistical and com ...

Explanation methods highlight the importance of the input features in taking a predictive decision, and represent a solution to increase the transparency and trustworthiness in machine learning and deep neural networks (DNNs). However, explanation methods ...

We present a discriminative clustering approach in which the feature representation can be learned from data and moreover leverage labeled data. Representation learning can give a similarity-based clustering method the ability to automatically adapt to an ...

We describe a series of algorithms that efficiently implement Gaussian model-X knockoffs to control the false discovery rate on large-scale feature selection problems. Identifying the knockoff distribution requires solving a large-scale semidefinite progra ...

The present invention according to one embodiment concerns a computer-implemented method of analysing handwritten characters produced by a user. The method comprises: collecting (107) handwritten characters of the user, the user being part of a given user ...

During the Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolution of the past decades, deep neural networks have been widely used and have achieved tremendous success in visual recognition. Unfortunately, deploying deep models is challenging because of their huge model s ...

Image classification has significantly improved using deep learning. This is mainly due to convolutional neural networks (CNNs) that are capable of learning rich feature extractors from large datasets. However, most deep learning classification methods are ...

Adaptive first-order methods in optimization are prominent in machine learning and data science owing to their ability to automatically adapt to the landscape of the function being optimized. However, their convergence guarantees are typically stated in te ...
