Distributed Representations of Words and Phrases and their Compositionality
The recently introduced continuous Skip-gram model is an efficient method for
learning high-quality distributed vector representations that capture a large
number of precise syntactic and semantic word relationships. In this paper we
present several extensions that improve both the quality of the vectors and the
training speed. By subsampling of the frequent words we obtain significant
speedup and also learn more regular word representations. We also describe a
simple alternative to the hierarchical softmax called negative sampling. An
inherent limitation of word representations is their indifference to word order
and their inability to represent idiomatic phrases. For example, the meanings
of "Canada" and "Air" cannot be easily combined to obtain "Air Canada".
Motivated by this example, we present a simple method for finding phrases in
text, and show that learning good vector representations for millions of
phrases is possible
Probabilistic Image Colorization
We develop a probabilistic technique for colorizing grayscale natural images.
In light of the intrinsic uncertainty of this task, the proposed probabilistic
framework has numerous desirable properties. In particular, our model is able
to produce multiple plausible and vivid colorizations for a given grayscale
image and is one of the first colorization models to provide a proper
stochastic sampling scheme. Moreover, our training procedure is supported by a
rigorous theoretical framework that does not require any ad hoc heuristics and
allows for efficient modeling and learning of the joint pixel color
distribution. We demonstrate strong quantitative and qualitative experimental
results on the CIFAR-10 dataset and the challenging ILSVRC 2012 dataset
