Collaborative Filtering in a Non-Uniform World: Learning with the Weighted Trace Norm
We show that matrix completion with trace-norm regularization can be
significantly hurt when entries of the matrix are sampled non-uniformly. We
introduce a weighted version of the trace-norm regularizer that works well also
with non-uniform sampling. Our experimental results demonstrate that the
weighted trace-norm regularization indeed yields significant gains on the
(highly non-uniformly sampled) Netflix dataset.Comment: 9 page
Guided Stereo Matching
Stereo is a prominent technique to infer dense depth maps from images, and
deep learning further pushed forward the state-of-the-art, making end-to-end
architectures unrivaled when enough data is available for training. However,
deep networks suffer from significant drops in accuracy when dealing with new
environments. Therefore, in this paper, we introduce Guided Stereo Matching, a
novel paradigm leveraging a small amount of sparse, yet reliable depth
measurements retrieved from an external source enabling to ameliorate this
weakness. The additional sparse cues required by our method can be obtained
with any strategy (e.g., a LiDAR) and used to enhance features linked to
corresponding disparity hypotheses. Our formulation is general and fully
differentiable, thus enabling to exploit the additional sparse inputs in
pre-trained deep stereo networks as well as for training a new instance from
scratch. Extensive experiments on three standard datasets and two
state-of-the-art deep architectures show that even with a small set of sparse
input cues, i) the proposed paradigm enables significant improvements to
pre-trained networks. Moreover, ii) training from scratch notably increases
accuracy and robustness to domain shifts. Finally, iii) it is suited and
effective even with traditional stereo algorithms such as SGM.Comment: CVPR 201
