ProvablyEfficientNeuralEstimationofStructural EquationModel: AnAdversarialApproach

Neural Information Processing Systems

Structural equation models (SEMs) are widely used in sciences, ranging from economics topsychology,touncovercausal relationships underlying acomplex system under consideration and estimate structural parameters of interest. We study estimation in a class of generalized SEMs where the object of interest is defined as the solution to a linear operator equation.


PuzzleFusion: Unleashing the Power of Diffusion Models for Spatial Puzzle Solving

Neural Information Processing Systems

This paper presents an end-to-end neural architecture based on Diffusion Models for spatial puzzle solving, particularly jigsaw puzzle and room arrangement tasks. In the latter task, for instance, the proposed system takes a set of room layouts as polygonal curves in the top-down view and aligns the room layout pieces by estimating their 2D translations and rotations, akin to solving the jigsaw puzzle of room layouts. A surprising discovery of the paper is that the simple use of a Diffusion Model effectively solves these challenging spatial puzzle tasks as a conditional generation process. To enable learning of an end-to-end neural system, the paper introduces new datasets with ground-truth arrangements: 1) 2D V oronoi jigsaw dataset, a synthetic one where pieces are generated by V oronoi diagram of 2D pointset; and 2) MagicPlan dataset, a real one offered by MagicPlan from its production pipeline, where pieces are room layouts constructed by augmented reality App by real-estate consumers. The qualitative and quantitative evaluations demonstrate that our approach outperforms the competing methods by significant margins in all the tasks. We have provided code and data here .
