Noise is a pervasive issue in recommendation systems, which can stem from user behaviors that do not align with their intentions. As a result, noise reduction has become a prominent area of research in the field of recommendation systems. However, existing noise reduction techniques in recommendatio…
The Entity Set Expansion (ESE) task aims to expand a handful of seed entities with new entities belonging to the same semantic class. Conventional ESE methods are based on mono-modality (i.e., literal modality), which struggle to deal with complex entities in the real world such as (1) Negative enti…
Melody extraction is a core task in music information retrieval, and the estimation of pitch, onset and offset are key sub-tasks in melody extraction. Existing methods have limited accuracy, and work for only one type of data, either single-pitch or multi-pitch. In this paper, we propose a highly ac…
We show how feature maps in convolutional networks are susceptible to spatial bias. Due to a combination of architectural choices, the activation at certain locations is systematically elevated or weakened. The major source of this bias is the padding mechanism. Depending on several aspects of convo…
We investigate the feature design and classification architectures in temporal action localization. This application focuses on detecting and labeling actions in untrimmed videos, which brings more challenge than classifying pre-segmented videos. The major difficulty for action localization is the u…
