MaskCLR: Attention-Guided Contrastive Learning for Robust Action Representation Learning

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Mohamed Ossama Ahmed Abdelfattah, Mariam Ahmed Mahmoud Hegazy Hassan

Current transformer-based skeletal action recognition models tend to focus on a limited set of joints and low-level motion patterns to predict action classes. This results in significant performance degradation under small skeleton perturbations or changin ...

On double-descent in uncertainty quantification in overparametrized models

Lenka Zdeborová, Florent Gérard Krzakala, Bruno Loureiro, Lucas Andry Clarte

Uncertainty quantification is a central challenge in reliable and trustworthy machine learning. Naive measures such as last-layer scores are well-known to yield overconfident estimates in the context of overparametrized neural networks. Several methods, ra ...

Causal inference with recurrent and competing events

Mats Julius Stensrud, Pal Christie Ryalen, Matias Janvin

Many research questions concern treatment effects on outcomes that can recur several times in the same individual. For example, medical researchers are interested in treatment effects on hospitalizations in heart failure patients and sports injuries in ath ...

Continual Test-Time Domain Adaptation

Olga Fink

Test-time domain adaptation aims to adapt a source pretrained model to a target domain without using any source data. Existing works mainly consider the case where the target domain is static. However, real-world machine perception systems are running in n ...

Deformation-aware Unpaired Image Translation for Pose Estimation on Laboratory Animals

Pascal Fua, Pavan P Ramdya, Helge Jochen Rhodin, Semih Günel

Our goal is to capture the pose of neuroscience model organisms, without using any manual supervision, to be able to study how neural circuits orchestrate behaviour. Human pose estimation attains remarkable accuracy when trained on real or simulated datase ...

Distributionally Robust Inverse Covariance Estimation: The Wasserstein Shrinkage Estimator

Daniel Kuhn, Viet Anh Nguyen, Peyman Mohajerin Esfahani

We introduce a distributionally robust maximum likelihood estimation model with a Wasserstein ambiguity set to infer the inverse covariance matrix of a p-dimensional Gaussian random vector from n independent samples. The proposed model minimizes the worst ...

Forward-Backward Splitting for Optimal Transport Based Problems

Pascal Frossard, Mireille El Gheche, Hermina Petric Maretic, Guillermo Ortiz Jimenez, Effrosyni Simou

Optimal transport aims to estimate a transportation plan that minimizes a displacement cost. This is realized by optimizing the scalar product between the sought plan and the given cost, over the space of doubly stochastic matrices. When the entropy regula ...

Integrating the Finite Element Method with a Data-Driven Approach for Dam Displacement Prediction

Zhenzhu Meng

Both numerical simulations and data-driven methods have been applied in dam's displacement modeling. For monitored displacement data-driven methods, the physical mechanism and structural correlations were rarely discussed. In order to take the spatial and ...

Affine Combination of Diffusion Strategies Over Networks

Ali H. Sayed

Diffusion adaptation is a powerful strategy for distributed estimation and learning over networks. Motivated by the concept of combining adaptive filters, this work proposes a combination framework that aggregates the operation of multiple diffusion strate ...

Adaptive isogeometric analysis on two-dimensional trimmed domains based on a hierarchical approach

Annalisa Buffa, Pablo Antolin Sanchez, Rafael Vazquez Hernandez, Luca Coradello

The focus of this work is on the development of an error-driven isogeometric framework, capable of automatically performing an adaptive simulation in the context of second- and fourth-order, elliptic partial differential equations defined on two-dimensiona ...

Frequency domain theory for functional time series: Variance decomposition and an invariance principle

Neda Mohammadi Jouzdani

This paper is concerned with frequency domain theory for functional time series, which are temporally dependent sequences of functions in a Hilbert space. We consider a variance decomposition, which is more suitable for such a data structure than the varia ...

Hybrid regularisation and the (in)admissibility of ridge regression in infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces

Victor Panaretos, Anirvan Chakraborty

We consider the problem of estimating the slope function in a functional regression with a scalar response and a functional covariate. This central problem of functional data analysis is well known to be ill-posed, thus requiring a regularised estimation p ...

Blowing in the Wind : Regularizations and Outlier Removal

Marta Martinez-Camara

Every day tons of pollutants are emitted into the atmosphere all around the world. These pollutants are altering the equilibrium of our planet, causing profound changes in its climate, increasing global temperatures, and raising the sea level. The need to ...

Comparing molecules and solids across structural and alchemical space

Michele Ceriotti, Sandip De

Evaluating the (dis)similarity of crystalline, disordered and molecular compounds is a critical step in the development of algorithms to navigate automatically the configuration space of complex materials. For instance, a structural similarity metric is cr ...

Bayesian Denoising: From MAP to MMSE Using Consistent Cycle Spinning

Michaël Unser, Ulugbek Kamilov, Emrah Bostan

We introduce a new approach for the implementation of minimum mean-square error (MMSE) denoising for signals with decoupled derivatives. Our method casts the problem as a penalized least-squares regression in the redundant wavelet domain. It exploits the l ...

A Real-Time Deformable Detector

Pascal Fua, François Fleuret, David Hasler, Karim Ali

We propose a new learning strategy for object detection. The proposed scheme forgoes the need to train a collection of detectors dedicated to homogeneous families of poses, and instead learns a single classifier that has the inherent ability to deform base ...

The Sampling Rate-Distortion Tradeoff for Sparsity Pattern Recovery in Compressed Sensing

Michael Christoph Gastpar

Recovery of the sparsity pattern (or support) of an unknown sparse vector from a limited number of noisy linear measurements is an important problem in compressed sensing. In the high-dimensional setting, it is known that recovery with a vanishing fraction ...
