On choosing and bounding probability metrics
When studying convergence of measures, an important issue is the choice of
probability metric. In this review, we provide a summary and some new results
concerning bounds among ten important probability metrics/distances that are
used by statisticians and probabilists. We focus on these metrics because they
are either well-known, commonly used, or admit practical bounding techniques.
We summarize these relationships in a handy reference diagram, and also give
examples to show how rates of convergence can depend on the metric chosen.Comment: To appear, International Statistical Review. Related work at

Scene Graph Generation with External Knowledge and Image Reconstruction
Scene graph generation has received growing attention with the advancements
in image understanding tasks such as object detection, attributes and
relationship prediction,~\etc. However, existing datasets are biased in terms
of object and relationship labels, or often come with noisy and missing
annotations, which makes the development of a reliable scene graph prediction
model very challenging. In this paper, we propose a novel scene graph
generation algorithm with external knowledge and image reconstruction loss to
overcome these dataset issues. In particular, we extract commonsense knowledge
from the external knowledge base to refine object and phrase features for
improving generalizability in scene graph generation. To address the bias of
noisy object annotations, we introduce an auxiliary image reconstruction path
to regularize the scene graph generation network. Extensive experiments show
that our framework can generate better scene graphs, achieving the
state-of-the-art performance on two benchmark datasets: Visual Relationship
Detection and Visual Genome datasets.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures, Accepted in CVPR 201
