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
Improved data association and occlusion handling for vision-based people tracking by mobile robots
This paper presents an approach for tracking multiple persons using a combination of colour and thermal vision sensors on a mobile robot. First, an adaptive colour model is incorporated into the measurement model of the tracker. Second, a new approach for detecting occlusions is introduced, using a machine learning classifier for pairwise comparison of persons (classifying which one is in front of the other). Third, explicit occlusion handling is then incorporated into the tracker
Data association and occlusion handling for vision-based people tracking by mobile robots
This paper presents an approach for tracking multiple persons on a mobile robot with a combination of colour and thermal vision sensors, using several new techniques. First, an adaptive colour model is incorporated into the measurement model of the tracker. Second, a new approach for detecting occlusions is introduced, using a machine learning classifier for pairwise comparison of persons (classifying which one is in front of the other). Third, explicit occlusion handling is incorporated into the tracker. The paper presents a comprehensive, quantitative evaluation of the whole system and its different components using several real world data sets
