SuperPoint: Self-Supervised Interest Point Detection and Description
This paper presents a self-supervised framework for training interest point
detectors and descriptors suitable for a large number of multiple-view geometry
problems in computer vision. As opposed to patch-based neural networks, our
fully-convolutional model operates on full-sized images and jointly computes
pixel-level interest point locations and associated descriptors in one forward
pass. We introduce Homographic Adaptation, a multi-scale, multi-homography
approach for boosting interest point detection repeatability and performing
cross-domain adaptation (e.g., synthetic-to-real). Our model, when trained on
the MS-COCO generic image dataset using Homographic Adaptation, is able to
repeatedly detect a much richer set of interest points than the initial
pre-adapted deep model and any other traditional corner detector. The final
system gives rise to state-of-the-art homography estimation results on HPatches
when compared to LIFT, SIFT and ORB.Comment: Camera-ready version for CVPR 2018 Deep Learning for Visual SLAM

Cross-relation Cross-bag Attention for Distantly-supervised Relation Extraction
Distant supervision leverages knowledge bases to automatically label
instances, thus allowing us to train relation extractor without human
annotations. However, the generated training data typically contain massive
noise, and may result in poor performances with the vanilla supervised
learning. In this paper, we propose to conduct multi-instance learning with a
novel Cross-relation Cross-bag Selective Attention (CSA), which leads to
noise-robust training for distant supervised relation extractor. Specifically,
we employ the sentence-level selective attention to reduce the effect of noisy
or mismatched sentences, while the correlation among relations were captured to
improve the quality of attention weights. Moreover, instead of treating all
entity-pairs equally, we try to pay more attention to entity-pairs with a
higher quality. Similarly, we adopt the selective attention mechanism to
achieve this goal. Experiments with two types of relation extractor demonstrate
the superiority of the proposed approach over the state-of-the-art, while
further ablation studies verify our intuitions and demonstrate the
effectiveness of our proposed two techniques.Comment: AAAI 201
A convolutional autoencoder approach for mining features in cellular electron cryo-tomograms and weakly supervised coarse segmentation
Cellular electron cryo-tomography enables the 3D visualization of cellular
organization in the near-native state and at submolecular resolution. However,
the contents of cellular tomograms are often complex, making it difficult to
automatically isolate different in situ cellular components. In this paper, we
propose a convolutional autoencoder-based unsupervised approach to provide a
coarse grouping of 3D small subvolumes extracted from tomograms. We demonstrate
that the autoencoder can be used for efficient and coarse characterization of
features of macromolecular complexes and surfaces, such as membranes. In
addition, the autoencoder can be used to detect non-cellular features related
to sample preparation and data collection, such as carbon edges from the grid
and tomogram boundaries. The autoencoder is also able to detect patterns that
may indicate spatial interactions between cellular components. Furthermore, we
demonstrate that our autoencoder can be used for weakly supervised semantic
segmentation of cellular components, requiring a very small amount of manual
annotation.Comment: Accepted by Journal of Structural Biolog
