Motion Style Transfer: Modular Low-Rank Adaptation for Deep Motion Forecasting

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Yuejiang Liu, Parth Ashit Kothari, Danya Li

Deep motion forecasting models have achieved great success when trained on a massive amount of data. Yet, they often perform poorly when training data is limited. To address this challenge, we propose a transfer learning approach for efficiently adapting p ...

Efficient User Guidance for Validating Participatory Sensing Data

Quoc Viet Hung Nguyen, Thành Tâm Nguyên

Participatory sensing has become a new data collection paradigm that leverages the wisdom of the crowd for big data applications without spending cost to buy dedicated sensors. It collects data from human sensors by using their own devices such as cell pho ...

Entrainment of Voluntary Movement to Undetected Auditory Regularities

Olaf Blanke, Leila Cammoun, Aaron Schurger, Nathan Quentin Faivre

In physics “entrainment” refers to the synchronization of two coupled oscillators with similar fundamental frequencies. In behavioral science, entrainment refers to the tendency of humans to synchronize their movements with rhythmic stimuli. Here, we asked ...

Tag-based Paper Retrieval: Minimizing User Effort with Diversity Awareness

Karl Aberer, Quoc Viet Hung Nguyen, Thành Tâm Nguyên, Son Thanh Do

As the number of scientific papers getting published is likely to soar, most of modern paper management systems (e.g. ScienceWise, Mendeley, CiteULike) support tag-based retrieval. In that, each paper is associated with a set of \emph{tags}, allowing user ...

Towards Enabling Probabilistic Databases for Participatory Sensing

Karl Aberer, Quoc Viet Hung Nguyen, Chi Thang Duong, Saket Sathe

Participatory sensing has emerged as a new data collection paradigm, in which humans use their own devices (cell phone accelerometers, cameras, etc.) as sensors. This paradigm enables to collect a huge amount of data from the crowd for world-wide applicati ...
