Extremal Domain Translation with Neural Optimal Transport

Neural Information Processing Systems

In many unpaired image domain translation problems, e.g., style transfer or super-resolution, it is important to keep the translated image similar to its respective input image.


Switching Temporary Teachers for Semi-Supervised Semantic Segmentation

Neural Information Processing Systems

The teacher-student framework, prevalent in semi-supervised semantic segmentation, mainly employs the exponential moving average (EMA) to update a single teacher's weights based on the student's. However, EMA updates raise a problem in that the weights of the teacher and student are getting coupled, causing a potential performance bottleneck. Furthermore, this problem may become more severe when training with more complicated labels such as segmentation masks but with few annotated data. This paper introduces Dual Teacher, a simple yet effective approach that employs dual temporary teachers aiming to alleviate the coupling problem for the student.


QWO: Speeding Up Permutation-Based Causal Discovery in LiGAMs

Neural Information Processing Systems

Causal discovery is essential for understanding relationships among variables of interest in many scientific domains. In this paper, we focus on permutation-based methods for learning causal graphs in Linear Gaussian Acyclic Models (LiGAMs), where the permutation encodes a causal ordering of the variables. Existing methods in this setting do not scale due to their high computational complexity.


The Nothing That Has the Potential to Be Anything

WIRED

You can never truly empty a box. Suppose you want to empty a box. You remove all its visible contents, pump out any gases, and--applying some science-fiction technology--evacuate any unseeable material such as dark matter. According to quantum mechanics, what's left inside? It sounds like a trick question.
