AHighly-Efficient Group Elastic Net Algorithm with an Application to Function-On-Scalar Regression

Neural Information Processing Systems

Feature Selection and Functional Data Analysis are two dynamic areas of research, with important applications in the analysis of large and complex data sets. Straddling these two areas, we propose a new highly efficient algorithm to perform Group Elastic Net with application to function-on-scalar feature selection, where a functional response is modeled against a very large number of potential scalar predictors. First, we introduce a new algorithm to solve Group Elastic Net in ultrahigh dimensional settings, which exploits the sparsity structure of the Augmented Lagrangian to greatly reduce computational burden. Next, taking advantage of the properties of Functional Principal Components, we extend our algorithm to the function-on-scalar regression framework. We use simulations to demonstrate the CPU time gains afforded by our approach compared to its best existing competitors, and present an application to data from a Genome Wide Association Study on childhood obesity.

Supplementary Materials: AttrSeg: Open-Vocabulary Semantic Segmentation via Attribute Decomposition-Aggregation

Neural Information Processing Systems

The series is directed by David Yates and distributed by Warner Bros. It consists of three fantasy films as of 2022: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016) [1]. The movie follows Newt Scamander, a magizoologist who travels to New York with a suitcase full of magical creatures. When some of the creatures escape, he teams up with a group of people to find them before they cause any harm.


AttrSeg: Open-Vocabulary Semantic Segmentation via Attribute Decomposition-Aggregation

Neural Information Processing Systems

Open-vocabulary semantic segmentation is a challenging task that requires segmenting novel object categories at inference time. Recent works explore vision-language pre-training to handle this task, but suffer from unrealistic assumptions in practical scenarios, i.e., low-quality textual category names. For example, this paradigm assumes that new textual categories will be accurately and completely provided, and exist in lexicons during pre-training. However, exceptions often happen when meet with ambiguity for brief or incomplete names, new words that are not present in the pre-trained lexicons, and difficult-to-describe categories for users. To address these issues, this work proposes a novel attribute decomposition-aggregation framework, AttrSeg, inspired by human cognition in understanding new concepts.
