Structure fusion based on graph convolutional networks for semi-supervised classification
Suffering from the multi-view data diversity and complexity for
semi-supervised classification, most of existing graph convolutional networks
focus on the networks architecture construction or the salient graph structure
preservation, and ignore the the complete graph structure for semi-supervised
classification contribution. To mine the more complete distribution structure
from multi-view data with the consideration of the specificity and the
commonality, we propose structure fusion based on graph convolutional networks
(SF-GCN) for improving the performance of semi-supervised classification.
SF-GCN can not only retain the special characteristic of each view data by
spectral embedding, but also capture the common style of multi-view data by
distance metric between multi-graph structures. Suppose the linear relationship
between multi-graph structures, we can construct the optimization function of
structure fusion model by balancing the specificity loss and the commonality
loss. By solving this function, we can simultaneously obtain the fusion
spectral embedding from the multi-view data and the fusion structure as
adjacent matrix to input graph convolutional networks for semi-supervised
classification. Experiments demonstrate that the performance of SF-GCN
outperforms that of the state of the arts on three challenging datasets, which
are Cora,Citeseer and Pubmed in citation networks
UV-GAN: Adversarial Facial UV Map Completion for Pose-invariant Face Recognition
Recently proposed robust 3D face alignment methods establish either dense or
sparse correspondence between a 3D face model and a 2D facial image. The use of
these methods presents new challenges as well as opportunities for facial
texture analysis. In particular, by sampling the image using the fitted model,
a facial UV can be created. Unfortunately, due to self-occlusion, such a UV map
is always incomplete. In this paper, we propose a framework for training Deep
Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN) to complete the facial UV map extracted
from in-the-wild images. To this end, we first gather complete UV maps by
fitting a 3D Morphable Model (3DMM) to various multiview image and video
datasets, as well as leveraging on a new 3D dataset with over 3,000 identities.
Second, we devise a meticulously designed architecture that combines local and
global adversarial DCNNs to learn an identity-preserving facial UV completion
model. We demonstrate that by attaching the completed UV to the fitted mesh and
generating instances of arbitrary poses, we can increase pose variations for
training deep face recognition/verification models, and minimise pose
discrepancy during testing, which lead to better performance. Experiments on
both controlled and in-the-wild UV datasets prove the effectiveness of our
adversarial UV completion model. We achieve state-of-the-art verification
accuracy, , under the CFP frontal-profile protocol only by combining
pose augmentation during training and pose discrepancy reduction during
testing. We will release the first in-the-wild UV dataset (we refer as WildUV)
that comprises of complete facial UV maps from 1,892 identities for research
purposes
BL-MNE: Emerging Heterogeneous Social Network Embedding through Broad Learning with Aligned Autoencoder
Network embedding aims at projecting the network data into a low-dimensional
feature space, where the nodes are represented as a unique feature vector and
network structure can be effectively preserved. In recent years, more and more
online application service sites can be represented as massive and complex
networks, which are extremely challenging for traditional machine learning
algorithms to deal with. Effective embedding of the complex network data into
low-dimension feature representation can both save data storage space and
enable traditional machine learning algorithms applicable to handle the network
data. Network embedding performance will degrade greatly if the networks are of
a sparse structure, like the emerging networks with few connections. In this
paper, we propose to learn the embedding representation for a target emerging
network based on the broad learning setting, where the emerging network is
aligned with other external mature networks at the same time. To solve the
problem, a new embedding framework, namely "Deep alIgned autoencoder based
eMbEdding" (DIME), is introduced in this paper. DIME handles the diverse link
and attribute in a unified analytic based on broad learning, and introduces the
multiple aligned attributed heterogeneous social network concept to model the
network structure. A set of meta paths are introduced in the paper, which
define various kinds of connections among users via the heterogeneous link and
attribute information. The closeness among users in the networks are defined as
the meta proximity scores, which will be fed into DIME to learn the embedding
vectors of users in the emerging network. Extensive experiments have been done
on real-world aligned social networks, which have demonstrated the
effectiveness of DIME in learning the emerging network embedding vectors.Comment: 10 pages, 9 figures, 4 tables. Full paper is accepted by ICDM 2017,

Semantic Visual Localization
Robust visual localization under a wide range of viewing conditions is a
fundamental problem in computer vision. Handling the difficult cases of this
problem is not only very challenging but also of high practical relevance,
e.g., in the context of life-long localization for augmented reality or
autonomous robots. In this paper, we propose a novel approach based on a joint
3D geometric and semantic understanding of the world, enabling it to succeed
under conditions where previous approaches failed. Our method leverages a novel
generative model for descriptor learning, trained on semantic scene completion
as an auxiliary task. The resulting 3D descriptors are robust to missing
observations by encoding high-level 3D geometric and semantic information.
Experiments on several challenging large-scale localization datasets
demonstrate reliable localization under extreme viewpoint, illumination, and
geometry changes
Warfarin Dose Estimation on High-dimensional and Incomplete Data
Warfarin is a widely used oral anticoagulant worldwide. However, due to the complex relationship between individual factors, it is challenging to estimate the optimal warfarin dose to give full play to its ideal efficacy. Currently, there are plenty of studies using machine learning or deep learning techniques to help with the optimal warfarin dose selection. But few of them can resolve missing values and high-dimensional data naturally, that are two main concerns when analyzing clinical real world data. In this work, we propose to regard each patient’s record as a set of observed individual factors, and represent them in an embedding space, that enables our method can learn from the incomplete date directly and avoid the negative impact from the high-dimensional feature set. Then, a novel neural network is proposed to combine the set of embedded vectors non-linearly, that are capable of capturing their correlations and locating the informative ones for prediction. After comparing with the baseline models on the open source data from International Warfarin Pharmacogenetics Consortium, the experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method outperform others by a significant margin. After further analyzing the model performance in different dosing subgroups, we can conclude that the proposed method has the high application value in clinical, especially for the patients in high-dose and medium-dose subgroups
