When to Hedge in Interactive Services

Edouard Bugnion, Aikaterini Argyraki, Mia Primorac

In online data-intensive (OLDI) services, each client request typically executes on multiple servers in parallel; as a result, “system hiccups”, although rare within a single server, can interfere with many client requests and cause violations of service-l ...

Learning Decoupled Representations for Human Pose Forecasting

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Saeed Saadatnejad, Taylor Ferdinand Mordan, Yuejiang Liu, Behnam Parsaeifard

Human pose forecasting involves complex spatiotemporal interactions between body parts (e.g., arms, legs, spine). State-of-the-art approaches use Long Short-Term Memories (LSTMs) or Variational AutoEncoders (VAEs) to solve the problem. Yet, they do not eff ...

State of the Art on Computational Design of Assemblies with Rigid Parts

Mark Pauly, Peng Song

An assembly refers to a collection of parts joined together to achieve a specific form and/or functionality. Designing assemblies is a non-trivial task as a slight local modification on a part's geometry or its joining method could have a global impact on ...

Painting by Numbers: Computational Methods and the History of Art

Leonardo Laurence Impett

This thesis presents a new methodology for computational art history, in the tradition of Distant Reading from literary criticism. This method is based on operationalisation, the transcription of a concept or theory from cultural history into an algorithm. ...

Eliminating Exposure Bias and Metric Mismatch in Multiple Object Tracking

Pascal Fua, Andrii Maksai

Identity Switching remains one of the main difficulties Multiple Object Tracking (MOT) algorithms have to deal with. Many state-of-the-art approaches now use sequence models to solve this problem but their training can be affected by biases that decrease t ...

Recurrent U-Net for Resource-Constrained Segmentation

Pascal Fua, Wei Wang, Mathieu Salzmann, Joachim Ludovic Hugonot, Kaicheng Yu

State-of-the-art segmentation methods rely on very deep networks that are not always easy to train without very large training datasets and tend to be relatively slow to run on standard GPUs. In this paper, we introduce a novel recurrent U-Net architecture ...

Robustness via curvature regularization, and vice versa

Pascal Frossard, Seyed Mohsen Moosavi Dezfooli, Alhussein Fawzi

State-of-the-art classifiers have been shown to be largely vulnerable to adversarial perturbations. One of the most effective strategies to improve robustness is adversarial training. In this paper, we investigate the effect of adversarial training on the ...
