Recently, robot navigation methods using human instructions have been actively studied, including visual language navigation. Although language is one of the most promising forms of instruction, words often contain ambiguities. To complement this problem, we propose to use geometric instruction as a…
Pre-trained language models (PLMs) such as BERT and RoBERTa have dramatically improved the performance of various natural language processing tasks. Although these models are trained on large amounts of raw text, they have no explicit grounding in real-world entities. Knowledge graphs (KGs) are manu…
We consider a general task called partial Wasserstein covering with the goal of providing information on what patterns are not being taken into account in a dataset (e.g., dataset used during development) compared to another (e.g., dataset obtained from actual applications). We model this task as a…
We propose a novel objective for penalizing geometric inconsistencies and improving the depth and pose estimation performance of monocular camera images. Our objective is designed using the Wasserstein distance between two point clouds, estimated from images with different camera poses. The Wasserst…
Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is a traditional and still challenging task for time-series analyses. The MSA problem is intrinsically a discrete optimization and, in principle, dynamic programming is available for solving MSA. However, the computation complexity of such algorithms increases expon…
Learning non-deterministic dynamics and intrinsic factors from images obtained through physical experiments is at the intersection of machine learning and material science. Disentangling the origins of uncertainties involved in microstructure growth, for example, is of great interest because future…
The evolution of biological sequences, such as proteins or DNAs, is driven by the three basic edit operations: substitution, insertion, and deletion. Motivated by the recent progress of neural network models for biological tasks, we implement two neural network architectures that can treat such edit…
