Dependency Parsing with Dilated Iterated Graph CNNs
Dependency parses are an effective way to inject linguistic knowledge into
many downstream tasks, and many practitioners wish to efficiently parse
sentences at scale. Recent advances in GPU hardware have enabled neural
networks to achieve significant gains over the previous best models, these
models still fail to leverage GPUs' capability for massive parallelism due to
their requirement of sequential processing of the sentence. In response, we
propose Dilated Iterated Graph Convolutional Neural Networks (DIG-CNNs) for
graph-based dependency parsing, a graph convolutional architecture that allows
for efficient end-to-end GPU parsing. In experiments on the English Penn
TreeBank benchmark, we show that DIG-CNNs perform on par with some of the best
neural network parsers.Comment: 2nd Workshop on Structured Prediction for Natural Language Processing

A Quantum Convolutional Neural Network for Image Classification
Artificial neural networks have achieved great success in many fields ranging
from image recognition to video understanding. However, its high requirements
for computing and memory resources have limited further development on
processing big data with high dimensions. In recent years, advances in quantum
computing show that building neural networks on quantum processors is a
potential solution to this problem. In this paper, we propose a novel neural
network model named Quantum Convolutional Neural Network (QCNN), aiming at
utilizing the computing power of quantum systems to accelerate classical
machine learning tasks. The designed QCNN is based on implementable quantum
circuits and has a similar structure as classical convolutional neural
networks. Numerical simulation results on the MNIST dataset demonstrate the
effectiveness of our model.Comment: 7 pages, 7 figure
Two-Stream RNN/CNN for Action Recognition in 3D Videos
The recognition of actions from video sequences has many applications in
health monitoring, assisted living, surveillance, and smart homes. Despite
advances in sensing, in particular related to 3D video, the methodologies to
process the data are still subject to research. We demonstrate superior results
by a system which combines recurrent neural networks with convolutional neural
networks in a voting approach. The gated-recurrent-unit-based neural networks
are particularly well-suited to distinguish actions based on long-term
information from optical tracking data; the 3D-CNNs focus more on detailed,
recent information from video data. The resulting features are merged in an SVM
which then classifies the movement. In this architecture, our method improves
recognition rates of state-of-the-art methods by 14% on standard data sets.Comment: Published in 2017 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent

Fast Face-swap Using Convolutional Neural Networks
We consider the problem of face swapping in images, where an input identity
is transformed into a target identity while preserving pose, facial expression,
and lighting. To perform this mapping, we use convolutional neural networks
trained to capture the appearance of the target identity from an unstructured
collection of his/her photographs.This approach is enabled by framing the face
swapping problem in terms of style transfer, where the goal is to render an
image in the style of another one. Building on recent advances in this area, we
devise a new loss function that enables the network to produce highly
photorealistic results. By combining neural networks with simple pre- and
post-processing steps, we aim at making face swap work in real-time with no
input from the user
