HybridSDF: Combining Deep Implicit Shapes and Geometric Primitives for 3D Shape Representation and Manipulation

Pascal Fua, Nicolas Talabot, Pierre Bruno Baqué, Subeesh Vasu, Artem Lukoianov

Deep implicit surfaces excel at modeling generic shapes but do not always capture the regularities present in manufactured objects, which is something simple geometric primitives are particularly good at. In this paper, we propose a representation combinin ...

Masksembles for Uncertainty Estimation

Pascal Fua, Timur Bagautdinov, Pierre Bruno Baqué, Nikita Durasov

Deep neural networks have amply demonstrated their prowess but estimating the reliability of their predictions remains challenging. Deep Ensembles are widely considered as being one of the best methods for generating uncertainty estimates but are very expe ...

Geodesic Convolutional Shape Optimization

Pascal Fua, François Fleuret, Pierre Bruno Baqué, Edoardo Remelli

Aerodynamic shape optimization has many industrial applications. Existing methods, however, are so computationally demanding that typical engineering practices are to either simply try a limited number of hand-designed shapes or restrict oneself to shapes ...

Principled Parallel Mean-Field Inference for Discrete Random Fields

Pascal Fua, François Fleuret, Timur Bagautdinov, Pierre Bruno Baqué

Mean-field variational inference is one of the most popular approaches to inference in discrete random fields. Standard mean-field optimization is based on coordinate descent and in many situations can be impractical. Thus, in practice, various parallel te ...
