Robust machine learning for neuroscientific inference

Modern neuroscience research is generating increasingly large datasets, from recording thousands of neurons over long timescales to behavioral recordings of animals spanning weeks, months, or even years. Despite a great variety in recording setups and expe ...

Robust Outlier Rejection for 3D Registration with Variational Bayes

Mathieu Salzmann, Zheng Dang, Zhen Wei, Jiancheng Yang, Haobo Jiang

Learning-based outlier (mismatched correspondence) rejection for robust 3D registration generally formulates the outlier removal as an inlier/outlier classification problem. The core for this to be successful is to learn the discriminative inlier/outlier f ...

The Facets of Intangible Heritage in Southern Chinese Martial Arts: Applying a Knowledge-Driven Cultural Contact Detection Approach

Yumeng Hou

Investigating the intangible nature of a cultural domain can take multiple forms, addressing for example the aesthetic, epistemic and social dimensions of its phenomenology. The context of Southern Chinese martial arts is of particular significance as it c ...

ms3: A parser for MuseScore files, serving as data factory for annotated music corpora

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Johannes Hentschel

The Python library ms3 makes scores (symbolic representations of music) operational for computational approaches by representing their contents as sets of tabular files. Music scores represent relations between sounding events by graphical means. The Free ...

Modeling Structured Data in Attention-based Models

Alireza Mohammadshahi

Natural language processing has experienced significant improvements with the development of Transformer-based models, which employ self-attention mechanism and pre-training strategies. However, these models still present several obstacles. A notable issue ...

Unsupervised Term Extraction for Highly Technical Domains

Diego Matteo Antognini

Term extraction is an information extraction task at the root of knowledge discovery platforms. Developing term extractors that are able to generalize across very diverse and potentially highly technical domains is challenging, as annotations for domains r ...

Une approche computationnelle du cadastre napoléonien de Venise

Frédéric Kaplan, Raphaël Barman, Isabella Di Lenardo, Federica Pardini

At the beginning of the 19th century, the Napoleonic administration introduced a new standardised description system to give an objective account of the form and functions of the city of Venice. The cadastre, deployed on a European scale, was offering for ...

Unsupervised Domain Adaptation for Cross-Subject Few-Shot Neurological Symptom Detection

Mahsa Shoaran, Bingzhao Zhu

Modern machine learning tools have shown promise in detecting symptoms of neurological disorders. However, current approaches typically train a unique classifier for each subject. This subject-specific training scheme requires long labeled recordings from ...

Contextually Plausible and Diverse 3D Human Motion Prediction

Mathieu Salzmann, Fatemehsadat Saleh

We tackle the task of diverse 3D human motion prediction, that is, forecasting multiple plausible future 3D poses given a sequence of observed 3D poses. In this context, a popular approach consists of using a Conditional Variational Autoencoder (CVAE). How ...

Discourse Phenomena in Machine Translation

Lesly Sadiht Miculicich Werlen

Machine Translation (MT) has made considerable progress in the past two decades, particularly after the introduction of neural network models (NMT). During this time, the research community has mostly focused on modeling and evaluating MT systems at the se ...

Discrete-Choice Mining of Social Processes

Victor Kristof

Poor decisions and selfish behaviors give rise to seemingly intractable global problems, such as the lack of transparency in democratic processes, the spread of conspiracy theories, and the rise in greenhouse gas emissions. However, people are more predict ...

Personalizable intervention systems to promote healthy behavior change

Igor Kulev

Adopting healthy behaviors can prevent the onset of many adverse health conditions. However, behavior changes are difficult to make, and often, people who like to improve their behaviors do not know how to do that. Personalizable intervention systems could ...

The Tonal Diffusion Model

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Fabian Claude Moss, Robert Lieck

Pitch-class distributions are of central relevance in music information retrieval, computational musicology and various other fields, such as music perception and cognition. However, despite their structure being closely related to the cognitively and musi ...

Learning Linear Non-Gaussian Causal Models in the Presence of Latent Variables

Saber Salehkaleybar, Negar Kiyavash, Kun Zhang

We consider the problem of learning causal models from observational data generated by linear non-Gaussian acyclic causal models with latent variables. Without considering the effect of latent variables, the inferred causal relationships among the observed ...

The organisation of science: topics, incentives and funding

Omar Ballester Gonzalez

Ever since the links between the development of new technologies and economic growth became evident, researchers have attempted to study how the creation of knowledge fosters progress. If pushing the frontier of knowledge has an impact on progress and well ...

Concrete Dam Displacement Prediction Based on an ISODATA-GMM Clustering and Random Coefficient Model

Zhenzhu Meng, Chenfei Shao, Yating Hu

Displacement data modelling is of great importance for the safety control of concrete dams. The commonly used artificial intelligence method modelled the displacement data at each monitoring point individually, i.e., the data correlations between the monit ...

A Novel Short-term Event Extraction Algorithm for Biomedical Signals

Jean-Marc Vesin, Sibylle Fallet, Sasan Yazdani

In this paper we propose a fast novel non-linear filtering method named Relative-Energy (Rel-En), for robust short-term event extraction from biomedical signals. We developed an algorithm that extracts short- and long-term energies in a signal and provides ...

Efficient Document Filtering Using Vector Space Topic Expansion and Pattern-Mining: The Case of Event Detection in Microposts

Philippe Cudré-Mauroux, Karl Aberer, Julia Proskurnia, Carlos Castillo

Automatically extracting information from social media is challenging given that social content is often noisy, ambiguous, and inconsistent. However, as many stories break on social channels first before being picked up by mainstream media, developing meth ...
