Paper review of "Auto-Encoding Variational Bayes"
https://telecombcn-dl.github.io/2018-dlai/
Deep learning technologies are at the core of the current revolution in artificial intelligence for multimedia data analysis. The convergence of large-scale annotated datasets and affordable GPU hardware has allowed the training of neural networks for data analysis tasks which were previously addressed with hand-crafted features. Architectures such as convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks or Q-nets for reinforcement learning have shaped a brand new scenario in signal processing. This course will cover the basic principles of deep learning from both an algorithmic and computational perspectives.
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are a class of machine learning frameworks where two neural networks contest with each other in a game. A generator network generates new data instances, while a discriminator network evaluates them for authenticity, classifying them as real or generated. This adversarial process allows the generator to improve over time and generate highly realistic samples that can pass for real data. The document provides an overview of GANs and their variants, including DCGAN, InfoGAN, EBGAN, and ACGAN models. It also discusses techniques for training more stable GANs and escaping issues like mode collapse.
Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are a class of machine learning frameworks where two neural networks, a generator and discriminator, compete against each other. The generator learns to generate new data with the same statistics as the training set to fool the discriminator, while the discriminator learns to better distinguish real samples from generated samples. GANs have applications in image generation, image translation between domains, and image completion. Training GANs can be challenging due to issues like mode collapse.
An Autoencoder is a type of Artificial Neural Network used to learn efficient data codings in an unsupervised manner. The aim of an autoencoder is to learn a representation (encoding) for a set of data, typically for dimensionality reduction, by training the network to ignore signal “noise.”
This document provides an overview of key mathematical concepts relevant to machine learning, including linear algebra (vectors, matrices, tensors), linear models and hyperplanes, dot and outer products, probability and statistics (distributions, samples vs populations), and resampling methods. It also discusses solving systems of linear equations and the statistical analysis of training data distributions.

The document discusses Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), a type of generative model proposed by Ian Goodfellow in 2014. GANs use two neural networks, a generator and discriminator, that compete against each other. The generator produces synthetic data to fool the discriminator, while the discriminator learns to distinguish real from synthetic data. GANs have been used successfully to generate realistic images when trained on large datasets. Examples mentioned include Pix2Pix for image-to-image translation and STACKGAN for text-to-image generation.

The document summarizes the Transformer neural network model proposed in the paper "Attention is All You Need". The Transformer uses self-attention mechanisms rather than recurrent or convolutional layers. It achieves state-of-the-art results in machine translation by allowing the model to jointly attend to information from different representation subspaces. The key components of the Transformer include multi-head self-attention layers in the encoder and masked multi-head self-attention layers in the decoder. Self-attention allows the model to learn long-range dependencies in sequence data more effectively than RNNs.
Abstract: This PDSG workshop introduces basic concepts of ensemble methods in machine learning. Concepts covered are Condercet Jury Theorem, Weak Learners, Decision Stumps, Bagging and Majority Voting.
Level: Fundamental
Requirements: No prior programming or statistics knowledge required.
The document discusses transfer learning and building complex models using Keras and TensorFlow. It provides examples of using the functional API to build models with multiple inputs and outputs. It also discusses reusing pretrained layers from models like ResNet, Xception, and VGG to perform transfer learning for new tasks with limited labeled data. Freezing pretrained layers initially and then training the entire model is recommended for transfer learning.

This document discusses computational intelligence and supervised learning techniques for classification. It provides examples of applications in medical diagnosis and credit card approval. The goal of supervised learning is to learn from labeled training data to predict the class of new unlabeled examples. Decision trees and backpropagation neural networks are introduced as common supervised learning algorithms. Evaluation methods like holdout validation, cross-validation and performance metrics beyond accuracy are also summarized.
This document summarizes dimensionality reduction techniques principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA). PCA seeks to reduce dimensionality while retaining as much variation in the data as possible. It finds the directions with the most variance by using the eigenvectors of the covariance matrix. LDA performs dimensionality reduction to best separate classes by maximizing between-class scatter while minimizing within-class scatter. It finds discriminatory directions by solving a generalized eigenvalue problem involving the between-class and within-class scatter matrices. Both techniques are useful for applications like face recognition by projecting high-dimensional images onto a lower-dimensional discriminative space.
It’s long ago, approx. 30 years, since AI was not only a topic for Science-Fiction writers, but also a major research field surrounded with huge hopes and investments. But the over-inflated expectations ended in a subsequent crash and followed by a period of absent funding and interest – the so-called AI winter. However, the last 3 years changed everything – again. Deep learning, a machine learning technique inspired by the human brain, successfully crushed one benchmark after another and tech companies, like Google, Facebook and Microsoft, started to invest billions in AI research. “The pace of progress in artificial general intelligence is incredible fast” (Elon Musk – CEO Tesla & SpaceX) leading to an AI that “would be either the best or the worst thing ever to happen to humanity” (Stephen Hawking – Physicist).
What sparked this new Hype? How is Deep Learning different from previous approaches? Are the advancing AI technologies really a threat for humanity? Let’s look behind the curtain and unravel the reality. This talk will explore why Sundar Pichai (CEO Google) recently announced that “machine learning is a core transformative way by which Google is rethinking everything they are doing” and explain why "Deep Learning is probably one of the most exciting things that is happening in the computer industry” (Jen-Hsun Huang – CEO NVIDIA).
Either a new AI “winter is coming” (Ned Stark – House Stark) or this new wave of innovation might turn out as the “last invention humans ever need to make” (Nick Bostrom – AI Philosoph). Or maybe it’s just another great technology helping humans to achieve more.

Introduction to Generative Adversarial NetworksBennoG1
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are a type of neural network that can generate new data with the same statistics as the training set. GANs work by having two neural networks - a generator and a discriminator - compete against each other in a minimax game framework. The generator tries to generate fake data that looks real, while the discriminator tries to tell apart the real data from the fake data. Wasserstein GANs introduce a new loss function based on the Wasserstein distance to help improve GAN training stability and convergence.
Machine Learning - Convolutional Neural NetworkRichard Kuo
The document provides an overview of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for visual recognition. It discusses the basic concepts of CNNs such as convolutional layers, activation functions, pooling layers, and network architectures. Examples of classic CNN architectures like LeNet-5 and AlexNet are presented. Modern architectures such as Inception and ResNet are also discussed. Code examples for image classification using TensorFlow, Keras, and Fastai are provided.
This document discusses score-based generative models. It explains that score-based models estimate the score function or gradient of the data distribution rather than the probability density function. This allows flexible deep learning architectures to be used without normalization. Score functions can be estimated using methods like score matching, sliced score matching, and denoising score matching. Models can then generate samples via Langevin dynamics. Challenges include accurately modeling low density regions and recovering relative weights between modes. Noise Conditional Score Networks address these by modeling perturbed distributions. Score-based models can also solve inverse problems without retraining.
Deep generative models can generate synthetic images, speech, text and other data types. There are three popular types: autoregressive models which generate data step-by-step; variational autoencoders which learn the distribution of latent variables to generate data; and generative adversarial networks which train a generator and discriminator in an adversarial game to generate high quality samples. Generative models have applications in image generation, translation between domains, and simulation.
This tutorial provides an overview of recent advances in deep generative models. It will cover three types of generative models: Markov models, latent variable models, and implicit models. The tutorial aims to give attendees a full understanding of the latest developments in generative modeling and how these models can be applied to high-dimensional data. Several challenges and open questions in the field will also be discussed. The tutorial is intended for the 2017 conference of the International Society for Bayesian Analysis.

AlphaGo is a Go-playing program developed by DeepMind that uses a combination of Monte Carlo tree search and deep neural networks to defeat human professionals. It uses policy networks trained via supervised and reinforcement learning to guide the search by providing prior probabilities over moves, and value networks trained via reinforcement learning to evaluate board positions. By integrating neural network guidance into the tree search process, AlphaGo was able to defeat other Go programs and the European Go champion without relying solely on brute force search of the enormous game tree.

2) AlphaGo uses reinforcement learning to learn Go strategies and evaluate board positions by playing many games against itself. It also uses deep neural networks and convolutional neural networks to pattern-match board positions and Monte Carlo tree search to simulate future moves and strategies.
3) By combining these techniques, AlphaGo was able to defeat top human Go players by developing an intuitive understanding of the game and strategizing several moves in advance.
This document presents the method of auto-encoding variational Bayes for training generative models. The method approximates the intractable posterior distribution p(z|x) with a variational distribution q(z|x). It maximizes a variational lower bound on the likelihood by minimizing the KL divergence between the variational and true posteriors. This is done using the reparameterization trick to backpropagate through stochastic nodes. The method can be seen as training a variational autoencoder to generate data and learn a latent representation. Experiments show it generates realistic samples and outperforms other methods on held-out likelihood.
This document introduces modern variational inference techniques. It discusses:
1. The goal of variational inference is to approximate the posterior distribution p(θ|D) over latent parameters θ given data D.
2. This is done by positing a variational distribution qλ(θ) and optimizing its parameters λ to minimize the KL divergence between qλ(θ) and p(θ|D).
3. The evidence lower bound (ELBO) is used as a variational objective that can be optimized using stochastic gradient descent, with gradients estimated using Monte Carlo sampling and reparametrization.

(DL hacks輪読) Variational Inference with Rényi DivergenceMasahiro Suzuki
This document discusses variational inference with Rényi divergence. It summarizes variational autoencoders (VAEs), which are deep generative models that parametrize a variational approximation with a recognition network. VAEs define a generative model as a hierarchical latent variable model and approximate the intractable true posterior using variational inference. The document explores using Rényi divergence as an alternative to the evidence lower bound objective of VAEs, as it may provide tighter variational bounds.
Introduction to Bayesian modelling and inference with Pyro for meetup group. Part of the presentation is a hands on, with some examples available here: https://github.com/ahmadsalim/2019-meetup-pyro-intro
Variational inference is a technique for estimating Bayesian models that provides similar precision to MCMC at a greater speed, and is one of the main areas of current research in Bayesian computation. In this introductory talk, we take a look at the theory behind the variational approach and some of the most common methods (e.g. mean field, stochastic, black box). The focus of this talk is the intuition behind variational inference, rather than the mathematical details of the methods. At the end of this talk, you will have a basic grasp of variational Bayes and its limitations.
Modeling the Dynamics of SGD by Stochastic Differential EquationMark Chang
1) Start with a small learning rate and large batch size to find a flat minimum with good generalization. 2) Gradually increase the learning rate and decrease the batch size to find sharper minima that may improve training accuracy. 3) Monitor both training and validation/test accuracy - similar accuracy suggests good generalization while different accuracy indicates overfitting.
Modeling the Dynamics of SGD by Stochastic Differential EquationMark Chang
The document discusses modeling stochastic gradient descent (SGD) using stochastic differential equations (SDEs). It outlines SGD, random walks, Wiener processes, and SDEs. It then covers continuous-time SGD and controlled SGD, modeling SGD as an SDE. It provides an example of modeling quadratic loss functions with SGD as an SDE. Finally, it discusses the effects of learning rate and batch size on generalization when modeling SGD as an SDE.
The document discusses information theory concepts like entropy, joint entropy, conditional entropy, and mutual information. It then discusses how these concepts relate to generalization in deep learning models. Specifically, it explains that the PAC-Bayesian bound is data-dependent, so models with high VC dimension can still generalize if the data is clean, resulting in low KL divergence between the prior and posterior distributions.

Specifically, it explains that the PAC-Bayesian bound is data-dependent, so models with high VC dimension can still generalize if the data is clean, resulting in low KL divergence between the prior and posterior distributions.
The document outlines the PAC-Bayesian bound for deep learning. It discusses how the PAC-Bayesian bound provides a generalization guarantee that depends on the KL divergence between the prior and posterior distributions over hypotheses. This allows the bound to account for factors like model complexity and noise in the training data, avoiding some limitations of other generalization bounds. The document also explains how the PAC-Bayesian bound can be applied to stochastic neural networks by placing distributions over the network weights.
1) The document outlines PAC-Bayesian bounds, which provide probabilistic guarantees on the generalization error of a learning algorithm.
2) PAC-Bayesian bounds relate the expected generalization error of the output distribution Q to the training error, number of samples, and KL divergence between the prior P and posterior Q distributions over hypotheses.
3) The bounds show that better generalization requires a smaller divergence between P and Q, meaning the training process should not alter the distribution of hypotheses too much. This provides insights into reducing overfitting in deep learning models.
The document outlines the theory of domain adaptation. It discusses how the generalization bound from learning in a single domain does not apply when testing on a different target domain. The key challenges are the distance between the source and target features and the distance between their labeling functions. Domain adaptation aims to reduce these distances and provide a generalization bound by estimating these distances using a hypothesis trained on samples from both domains. An example approach is to find the hypothesis that minimizes the sum of source and target errors.
The document discusses the genome assembly problem which involves reconstructing the full genome sequence from fragmented short reads. It describes how short reads are fragmented and sequenced from the genome. To solve this problem, overlapping short reads must be found which is challenging with millions of reads. The document then explains how de Bruijn graphs can be used to represent overlaps between short reads by converting them to k-mers and building a graph from the k-mers to traverse and reconstruct the full genome sequence.
DRAW is a recurrent neural network proposed by Google DeepMind for image generation. It works by reconstructing images "step-by-step" through iterative applications of selective attention. At each step, DRAW samples from a latent space to generate values for its canvas. It uses an encoder-decoder RNN architecture with selective attention to focus on different regions of the image. This allows it to capture fine-grained details across the entire image.

It outlines recurrent neural networks and how they can be used for sequence modeling. It then describes long short-term memory networks and how they address the vanishing gradient problem in recurrent neural networks using gating mechanisms. Finally, it provides an overview of neural Turing machines and how they use an external memory component with addressing and reading/writing mechanisms controlled by a neural network controller.
This document summarizes recent work on neural doodling and semantic style transfer. It describes a paper by Alex J. Champandard that uses neural networks to turn simple doodles into fine artwork by applying the style of famous works of art. It also discusses previous works on neural artistic style by Gatys et al. and image synthesis by Li and Wand. The document then explains the technical details of patch-based and semantic style transfer techniques that identify patches of content and style features to generate new images in the style of a reference work while preserving semantic content. Source code links and information about the speaker are provided.
This document outlines topics related to computational linguistics and neural networks, including:
1) It discusses machine learning concepts like training data, models, and feedback in machine learning.
2) It then covers neural networks, including how artificial neurons work and how they can be used for tasks like binary classification.
3) The document concludes by discussing how neural language models like word2vec represent words as vectors in a semantic space to model relationships between words.
This document provides an overview of neural art and neural style transfer using convolutional neural networks. It first discusses how visual perception and computer vision work, then explains how neural networks like VGG19 can be used to generate artistic images by combining the content of one image with the artistic style of another. Specifically, it describes how the content image's filter responses are matched and the style image's gram matrix is matched to generate a new image that reflects both the content and style.
Developing Schemas with FME and Excel - Peak of Data & AI 2025Safe Software
When working with other team members who may not know the Esri GIS platform or may not be database professionals; discussing schema development or changes can be difficult. I have been using Excel to help illustrate and discuss schema design/changes during meetings and it has proven a useful tool to help illustrate how a schema will be built. With just a few extra columns, that Excel file can be sent to FME to create new feature classes/tables. This presentation will go thru the steps needed to accomplish this task and provide some lessons learned and tips/tricks that I use to speed the process.

The session explains the technical aspects of integrating vector support into MySQL, the challenges posed by its architecture, and real-world use cases that showcase the advantages of combining vector search with MySQL's robust features. Attendees will leave with practical insights on how to add vector search capabilities to their MySQL systems.
Integration of Utility Data into 3D BIM Models Using a 3D Solids Modeling Wor...Safe Software
Jacobs has developed a 3D utility solids modelling workflow to improve the integration of utility data into 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM) environments. This workflow, a collaborative effort between the New Zealand Geospatial Team and the Australian Data Capture Team, employs FME to convert 2D utility data into detailed 3D representations, supporting enhanced spatial analysis and clash detection.
To enable the automation of this process, Jacobs has also developed a survey data standard that standardizes the capture of existing utilities. This standard ensures consistency in data collection, forming the foundation for the subsequent automated validation and modelling steps. The workflow begins with the acquisition of utility survey data, including attributes such as location, depth, diameter, and material of utility assets like pipes and manholes. This data is validated through a custom-built tool that ensures completeness and logical consistency, including checks for proper connectivity between network components. Following validation, the data is processed using an automated modelling tool to generate 3D solids from 2D geometric representations. These solids are then integrated into BIM models to facilitate compatibility with 3D workflows and enable detailed spatial analyses.
The workflow contributes to improved spatial understanding by visualizing the relationships between utilities and other infrastructure elements. The automation of validation and modeling processes ensures consistent and accurate outputs, minimizing errors and increasing workflow efficiency.
This methodology highlights the application of FME in addressing challenges associated with geospatial data transformation and demonstrates its utility in enhancing data integration within BIM frameworks. By enabling accurate 3D representation of utility networks, the workflow supports improved design collaboration and decision-making in complex infrastructure projects
