3D Point Capsule Networks
In this paper, we propose 3D point-capsule networks, an auto-encoder designed
to process sparse 3D point clouds while preserving spatial arrangements of the
input data. 3D capsule networks arise as a direct consequence of our novel
unified 3D auto-encoder formulation. Their dynamic routing scheme and the
peculiar 2D latent space deployed by our approach bring in improvements for
several common point cloud-related tasks, such as object classification, object
reconstruction and part segmentation as substantiated by our extensive
evaluations. Moreover, it enables new applications such as part interpolation
and replacement.Comment: As published in CVPR 2019 (camera ready version), with supplementary

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs): Challenges, Solutions, and Future Directions
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) is a novel class of deep generative
models which has recently gained significant attention. GANs learns complex and
high-dimensional distributions implicitly over images, audio, and data.
However, there exists major challenges in training of GANs, i.e., mode
collapse, non-convergence and instability, due to inappropriate design of
network architecture, use of objective function and selection of optimization
algorithm. Recently, to address these challenges, several solutions for better
design and optimization of GANs have been investigated based on techniques of
re-engineered network architectures, new objective functions and alternative
optimization algorithms. To the best of our knowledge, there is no existing
survey that has particularly focused on broad and systematic developments of
these solutions. In this study, we perform a comprehensive survey of the
advancements in GANs design and optimization solutions proposed to handle GANs
challenges. We first identify key research issues within each design and
optimization technique and then propose a new taxonomy to structure solutions
by key research issues. In accordance with the taxonomy, we provide a detailed
discussion on different GANs variants proposed within each solution and their
relationships. Finally, based on the insights gained, we present the promising
research directions in this rapidly growing field.Comment: 42 pages, Figure 13, Table
