Adversarial PoseNet: A Structure-aware Convolutional Network for Human Pose Estimation
For human pose estimation in monocular images, joint occlusions and
overlapping upon human bodies often result in deviated pose predictions. Under
these circumstances, biologically implausible pose predictions may be produced.
In contrast, human vision is able to predict poses by exploiting geometric
constraints of joint inter-connectivity. To address the problem by
incorporating priors about the structure of human bodies, we propose a novel
structure-aware convolutional network to implicitly take such priors into
account during training of the deep network. Explicit learning of such
constraints is typically challenging. Instead, we design discriminators to
distinguish the real poses from the fake ones (such as biologically implausible
ones). If the pose generator (G) generates results that the discriminator fails
to distinguish from real ones, the network successfully learns the priors.Comment: Fixed typos. 14 pages. Demonstration videos are

Self-Learning Monte Carlo Method in Fermion Systems
We develop the self-learning Monte Carlo (SLMC) method, a general-purpose
numerical method recently introduced to simulate many-body systems, for
studying interacting fermion systems. Our method uses a highly-efficient update
algorithm, which we design and dub "cumulative update", to generate new
candidate configurations in the Markov chain based on a self-learned bosonic
effective model. From general analysis and numerical study of the double
exchange model as an example, we find the SLMC with cumulative update
drastically reduces the computational cost of the simulation, while remaining
statistically exact. Remarkably, its computational complexity is far less than
the conventional algorithm with local updates
