Achieving machine autonomy and human control often represent divergent objectives in the design of interactive AI systems.

The use of cameras and computational algorithms for noninvasive, low-cost and scalable measurement of physiological (e.g., cardiac and pulmonary) vital signs is very attractive. However, diverse data representing a range of environments, body motions, illumination conditions and physiological states is laborious, time consuming and expensive to obtain. Synthetic data have proven a valuable tool in several areas of machine learning, yet are not widely available for camera measurement of physiological states. Synthetic data offer perfect labels (e.g., without noise and with precise synchronization), labels that may not be possible to obtain otherwise (e.g., precise pixel level segmentation maps) and provide a high degree of control over variation and diversity in the dataset. We present SCAMPS, a dataset of synthetics containing 2,800 videos (1.68M frames) with aligned cardiac and respiratory signals and facial action intensities. The RGB frames are provided alongside segmentation maps and precise descriptive statistics about the underlying waveforms, including inter-beat interval, heart rate variability, and pulse arrival time. Finally, we present baseline results training on these synthetic data and testing on real-world datasets to illustrate generalizability.

Many real-world vision problems suffer from inherent ambiguities. In clinical applications for example, it might not be clear from a CT scan alone which particular region is cancer tissue. Therefore a group of graders typically produces a set of diverse but plausible segmentations.

Despite remarkable advances in image synthesis research, existing works often fail in manipulating images under the context of large geometric transformations. Synthesizing person images conditioned on arbitrary poses is one of the most representative examples where the generation quality largely relies on the capability of identifying and modeling arbitrary transformations on different body parts. Current generative models are often built on local convolutions and overlook the key challenges (e.g.

State-of-art methods learn the correspondence using large numbers of unpaired examples from both domains and are based on generative adversarial networks.

We cannot thank the reviewers enough for their valuable feedback on our work. Reviewers 1 and 2: Combine guess loss with additive noise. Most recent advances in adversarial defense methods address "black-box attacks" performed by a The latter incorporates adversarial examples during training to increase the model's robustness to the attack. Therefore the reconstructed image can serve as an adversarially perturbed example of the non-adversarial input image. Reviewer 3: Novelty is not enough as most of the proposed solution or observations are already published.

We will add more explanations in the final version. A3: The parameter size of our proposed generater is 107.4 million, which is similar to that of SP ADE (96 million).
