Virtual reality (VR), a new type of simulation and interaction technology, has aroused widespread attention research interest. It is necessary to evaluate the VR quality provide standard for rapidly developing technology. To best our knowledge, few researchers have built benchmark databases designed related algorithms, which hindered further development In this paper, free available data set (VRQ-TJU) assessment proposed with subjective scores each sample data. The validity database been...

Graph convolutional networks (GCN) have attracted increasing interest in action recognition recent years. GCN models human skeleton sequences as spatio-temporal graphs. Also, attention mechanisms are often jointly used with GCNs to highlight important frames or body joints a sequence. However, modules learn parameters offline and fixed, so may not adapt well unseen samples. In this paper, we propose simple but effective motion-driven spatial temporal adaptation strategy dynamically...

Energy-based models (EBMs) offer a flexible framework for parameterizing probability distributions using neural networks. However, learning EBMs by exact maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) is generally intractable, due to the need compute partition function (normalization constant). In this paper, we propose novel formulation approximately probabilistic in combinatorially-large discrete spaces, such as sets or permutations. Our key idea jointly learn both an energy model and its...

Word vectors are at the core of many natural language processing tasks. Recently, there has been interest in post-processing word to enrich their semantic information. In this paper, we introduce a novel vector technique based on matrix conceptors (Jaeger 2014), family regularized identity maps. More concretely, propose use suppress those latent features having high variances. The proposed method is purely unsupervised: it does not rely any corpus or external linguistic database. We evaluate...

Panoramic video and stereoscopic panoramic are essential carriers of virtual reality content, so it is very crucial to establish their quality assessment models for the standardization industry. However, challenging evaluate at present. One reason that spatial information warped due projection process, conventional (VQA) method difficult deal with this problem. Another traditional VQA problematic capture complex global time in video. In response above questions, paper presents an end-to-end...

Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models are a promising way to scale up model capacity without significantly increasing computational cost. A key component of MoEs is the router, which decides subset parameters (experts) process feature embeddings (tokens). In this paper, we present comprehensive study routers in for computer vision tasks. We introduce unified MoE formulation that subsumes different with two parametric routing tensors. This covers both sparse MoE, uses binary or hard assignment...

In many Reinforcement Learning (RL) papers, learning curves are useful indicators to measure the effectiveness of RL algorithms. However, complete raw data rarely available. As a result, it is usually necessary reproduce experiments from scratch, which can be time-consuming and error-prone. We present Open Benchmark, set fully tracked experiments, including not only usual such as episodic return, but also all algorithm-specific system metrics. Benchmark community-driven: anyone download,...

Deep neural networks have dramatically transformed machine learning, but their memory and energy demands are substantial. The requirements of real biological rather modest in comparison, one feature that might underlie this austerity is sparse connectivity.

Distributional representations of words, also known as word vectors, have become crucial for modern natural language processing tasks due to their wide applications. Recently, a growing body vector postprocessing algorithm has emerged, aiming render off-the-shelf vectors even stronger. In line with these investigations, we introduce novel scheme under causal inference framework. Concretely, the pipeline is realized by Half-Sibling Regression (HSR), which allows us identify and remove...

Distributed representations of sentences have become ubiquitous in natural language processing tasks. In this paper, we consider a continual learning scenario for sentence representations: Given sequence corpora, aim to optimize the encoder with respect new corpus while maintaining its accuracy on old corpora. To address problem, propose initialize encoders help corpus-independent features, and then sequentially update using Boolean operations conceptor matrices learn corpus-dependent...

Regularized optimal transport (OT) is now increasingly used as a loss or matching layer in neural networks. Entropy-regularized OT can be computed using the Sinkhorn algorithm but it leads to fully-dense transportation plans, meaning that all sources are (fractionally) matched with targets. To address this issue, several works have investigated quadratic regularization instead. This preserves sparsity and unconstrained smooth (semi) dual objectives, solved off-the-shelf gradient methods....

Aligning language models with human preferences is crucial for reducing errors and biases in these models. Alignment techniques, such as reinforcement learning from feedback (RLHF), are typically cast optimizing a tradeoff between preference rewards proximity regularization term that encourages staying close to the unaligned model. Selecting an appropriate level of critical: insufficient can lead reduced model capabilities due reward hacking, whereas excessive hinders alignment. Traditional...

Direct alignment from preferences (DAP) methods, such as DPO, have recently emerged efficient alternatives to reinforcement learning human feedback (RLHF), that do not require a separate reward model. However, the preference datasets used in DAP methods are usually collected ahead of training and never updated, thus is purely offline. Moreover, responses these often sampled language model distinct one being aligned, since evolves over training, phase inevitably off-policy. In this study, we...
