Generating Light Curves from Simulated Active Galactic Nuclei Data
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are growing supermassive black holes found at the centers of massive galaxies. My research involves gathering data by simulating the light emitted by AGN, and then plotting the simulated light in the form of light curves
Video Captioning via Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning
Video captioning is the task of automatically generating a textual
description of the actions in a video. Although previous work (e.g.
sequence-to-sequence model) has shown promising results in abstracting a coarse
description of a short video, it is still very challenging to caption a video
containing multiple fine-grained actions with a detailed description. This
paper aims to address the challenge by proposing a novel hierarchical
reinforcement learning framework for video captioning, where a high-level
Manager module learns to design sub-goals and a low-level Worker module
recognizes the primitive actions to fulfill the sub-goal. With this
compositional framework to reinforce video captioning at different levels, our
approach significantly outperforms all the baseline methods on a newly
introduced large-scale dataset for fine-grained video captioning. Furthermore,
our non-ensemble model has already achieved the state-of-the-art results on the
widely-used MSR-VTT dataset.Comment: CVPR 2018, with supplementary materia
