The interaction of knowledge sources in word sense disambiguation
Word sense disambiguation (WSD) is a computational linguistics task likely to benefit from the tradition of combining different knowledge sources in artificial in telligence research. An important step in the exploration of this hypothesis is to determine which linguistic knowledge sources are most useful and whether their combination leads to improved results.
We present a sense tagger which uses several knowledge sources. Tested accuracy exceeds 94% on our evaluation corpus.Our system attempts to disambiguate all content words in running text rather than limiting itself to treating a restricted vocabulary of words. It is argued that this approach is more likely to assist the creation of practical systems
Physics Inspired Optimization on Semantic Transfer Features: An Alternative Method for Room Layout Estimation
In this paper, we propose an alternative method to estimate room layouts of
cluttered indoor scenes. This method enjoys the benefits of two novel
techniques. The first one is semantic transfer (ST), which is: (1) a
formulation to integrate the relationship between scene clutter and room layout
into convolutional neural networks; (2) an architecture that can be end-to-end
trained; (3) a practical strategy to initialize weights for very deep networks
under unbalanced training data distribution. ST allows us to extract highly
robust features under various circumstances, and in order to address the
computation redundance hidden in these features we develop a principled and
efficient inference scheme named physics inspired optimization (PIO). PIO's
basic idea is to formulate some phenomena observed in ST features into
mechanics concepts. Evaluations on public datasets LSUN and Hedau show that the
proposed method is more accurate than state-of-the-art methods.Comment: To appear in CVPR 2017. Project Page:

Learning to Reconstruct People in Clothing from a Single RGB Camera
We present a learning-based model to infer the personalized 3D shape of people from a few frames (1-8) of a monocular video in which the person is moving, in less than 10 seconds with a reconstruction accuracy of 5mm. Our model learns to predict the parameters of a statistical body model and instance displacements that add clothing and hair to the shape. The model achieves fast and accurate predictions based on two key design choices. First, by predicting shape in a canonical T-pose space, the network learns to encode the images of the person into pose-invariant latent codes, where the information is fused. Second, based on the observation that feed-forward predictions are fast but do not always align with the input images, we predict using both, bottom-up and top-down streams (one per view) allowing information to flow in both directions. Learning relies only on synthetic 3D data. Once learned, the model can take a variable number of frames as input, and is able to reconstruct shapes even from a single image with an accuracy of 6mm. Results on 3 different datasets demonstrate the efficacy and accuracy of our approach
Building Program Vector Representations for Deep Learning
Deep learning has made significant breakthroughs in various fields of
artificial intelligence. Advantages of deep learning include the ability to
capture highly complicated features, weak involvement of human engineering,
etc. However, it is still virtually impossible to use deep learning to analyze
programs since deep architectures cannot be trained effectively with pure back
propagation. In this pioneering paper, we propose the "coding criterion" to
build program vector representations, which are the premise of deep learning
for program analysis. Our representation learning approach directly makes deep
learning a reality in this new field. We evaluate the learned vector
representations both qualitatively and quantitatively. We conclude, based on
the experiments, the coding criterion is successful in building program
representations. To evaluate whether deep learning is beneficial for program
analysis, we feed the representations to deep neural networks, and achieve
higher accuracy in the program classification task than "shallow" methods, such
as logistic regression and the support vector machine. This result confirms the
feasibility of deep learning to analyze programs. It also gives primary
evidence of its success in this new field. We believe deep learning will become
an outstanding technique for program analysis in the near future.Comment: This paper was submitted to ICSE'1
