KG-FLIP: Knowledge-guided Fashion-domain Language-Image Pre-training for E-commerce

ACL 2023industry

Various Vision-Language Pre-training (VLP) models (e.g., CLIP, BLIP) have sprung up and dramatically advanced the benchmarks for public general-domain datasets (e.g., COCO, Flickr30k). Such models usually learn the cross-modal alignment from large-scale well-aligned image-text datasets without lever…

Autoregressive Denoising Diffusion Models for Multivariate Probabilistic Time Series Forecasting

ICML 2021spotlight

In this work, we propose TimeGrad, an autoregressive model for multivariate probabilistic time series forecasting which samples from the data distribution at each time step by estimating its gradient. To this end, we use diffusion probabilistic models, a class of latent variable models closely conne…

Multivariate Probabilistic Time Series Forecasting via Conditioned Normalizing Flows

ICLR 2021spotlight

Time series forecasting is often fundamental to scientific and engineering problems and enables decision making. With ever increasing data set sizes, a trivial solution to scale up predictions is to assume independence between interacting time series. However, modeling statistical dependencies can i…

Task-Aware Representation of Sentences for Generic Text Classification

COLING 2020main

State-of-the-art approaches for text classification leverage a transformer architecture with a linear layer on top that outputs a class distribution for a given prediction problem. While effective, this approach suffers from conceptual limitations that affect its utility in few-shot or zero-shot tra…

Learning Texture Manifolds with the Periodic Spatial GAN

ICML 2017poster

This paper introduces a novel approach to texture synthesis based on generative adversarial networks (GAN) (Goodfellow et al., 2014), and call this technique Periodic Spatial GAN (PSGAN). The PSGAN has several novel abilities which surpass the current state of the art in texture synthesis. First, we…
