Which Information Matters? Dissecting Human-written Multi-document Summaries with Partial Information Decomposition

ACL 2024findings

Understanding the nature of high-quality summaries is crucial to further improve the performance of multi-document summarization. We propose an approach to characterize human-written summaries using partial information decomposition, which decomposes the mutual information provided by all source doc…

AL2: Progressive Activation Loss for Learning General Representations in Classification Neural Networks

ICASSP 2020accepted

The large capacity of neural networks enables them to learn complex functions. To avoid overfitting, networks however require a lot of training data that can be expensive and time-consuming to collect. A common practical approach to attenuate overfitting is the use of network regularization techniqu…

Divergence-Based Adaptive Extreme Video Completion

ICASSP 2020accepted

Extreme image or video completion, where, for instance, we only retain 1% of pixels in random locations, allows for very cheap sampling in terms of the required pre-processing. The consequence is, however, a reconstruction that is challenging for humans and inpainting algorithms alike. We propose an…

Realizability of Planar Point Embeddings from Angle Measurements

ICASSP 2020accepted

Localization of a set of nodes is an important and a thoroughly researched problem in robotics and sensor networks. This paper is concerned with the theory of localization from inner-angle measurements. We focus on the challenging case where no anchor locations are known.Inspired by Euclidean distan…

Stochastic Frequency Masking to Improve Super-Resolution and Denoising Networks

ECCV 2020poster

Super-resolution and denoising are ill-posed yet fundamental image restoration tasks. In blind settings, the degradation kernel or the noise level are unknown. This makes restoration even more challenging, notably for learning-based methods, as they tend to overfit to the degradation seen during tra…
