Exploring the structure of a real-time, arbitrary neural artistic stylization network
In this paper, we present a method which combines the flexibility of the
neural algorithm of artistic style with the speed of fast style transfer
networks to allow real-time stylization using any content/style image pair. We
build upon recent work leveraging conditional instance normalization for
multi-style transfer networks by learning to predict the conditional instance
normalization parameters directly from a style image. The model is successfully
trained on a corpus of roughly 80,000 paintings and is able to generalize to
paintings previously unobserved. We demonstrate that the learned embedding
space is smooth and contains a rich structure and organizes semantic
information associated with paintings in an entirely unsupervised manner.Comment: Accepted as an oral presentation at British Machine Vision Conference

DIMAL: Deep Isometric Manifold Learning Using Sparse Geodesic Sampling
This paper explores a fully unsupervised deep learning approach for computing
distance-preserving maps that generate low-dimensional embeddings for a certain
class of manifolds. We use the Siamese configuration to train a neural network
to solve the problem of least squares multidimensional scaling for generating
maps that approximately preserve geodesic distances. By training with only a
few landmarks, we show a significantly improved local and nonlocal
generalization of the isometric mapping as compared to analogous non-parametric
counterparts. Importantly, the combination of a deep-learning framework with a
multidimensional scaling objective enables a numerical analysis of network
architectures to aid in understanding their representation power. This provides
a geometric perspective to the generalizability of deep learning.Comment: 10 pages, 11 Figure
Semi-Supervised Radio Signal Identification
Radio emitter recognition in dense multi-user environments is an important
tool for optimizing spectrum utilization, identifying and minimizing
interference, and enforcing spectrum policy. Radio data is readily available
and easy to obtain from an antenna, but labeled and curated data is often
scarce making supervised learning strategies difficult and time consuming in
practice. We demonstrate that semi-supervised learning techniques can be used
to scale learning beyond supervised datasets, allowing for discerning and
recalling new radio signals by using sparse signal representations based on
both unsupervised and supervised methods for nonlinear feature learning and
clustering methods
