Learning Generative Models across Incomparable Spaces
Generative Adversarial Networks have shown remarkable success in learning a
distribution that faithfully recovers a reference distribution in its entirety.
However, in some cases, we may want to only learn some aspects (e.g., cluster
or manifold structure), while modifying others (e.g., style, orientation or
dimension). In this work, we propose an approach to learn generative models
across such incomparable spaces, and demonstrate how to steer the learned
distribution towards target properties. A key component of our model is the
Gromov-Wasserstein distance, a notion of discrepancy that compares
distributions relationally rather than absolutely. While this framework
subsumes current generative models in identically reproducing distributions,
its inherent flexibility allows application to tasks in manifold learning,
relational learning and cross-domain learning.Comment: International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML
Math Search for the Masses: Multimodal Search Interfaces and Appearance-Based Retrieval
We summarize math search engines and search interfaces produced by the
Document and Pattern Recognition Lab in recent years, and in particular the min
math search interface and the Tangent search engine. Source code for both
systems are publicly available. "The Masses" refers to our emphasis on creating
systems for mathematical non-experts, who may be looking to define unfamiliar
notation, or browse documents based on the visual appearance of formulae rather
than their mathematical semantics.Comment: Paper for Invited Talk at 2015 Conference on Intelligent Computer
