Masked Capsule Autoencoders

no code implementations7 Mar 2024 Miles Everett, Mingjun Zhong, Georgios Leontidis

We propose Masked Capsule Autoencoders (MCAE), the first Capsule Network that utilises pretraining in a self-supervised manner.

Vanishing Activations: A Symptom of Deep Capsule Networks

no code implementations13 May 2023 Miles Everett, Mingjun Zhong, Georgios Leontidis

This paper extends the investigation to a range of leading Capsule Network architectures, demonstrating that these issues are not confined to the original design.

Non-intrusive Load Monitoring based on Self-supervised Learning

no code implementations9 Oct 2022 Shuyi Chen, Bochao Zhao, Mingjun Zhong, Wenpeng Luan, Yixin Yu

Based on the NILM results in various cases, SSL generally outperforms zero-shot learning in improving load disaggregation performance without any sub-metering data from the target data sets.

Causal Effect Estimation using Variational Information Bottleneck

1 code implementation26 Oct 2021 Zhenyu Lu, Yurong Cheng, Mingjun Zhong, George Stoian, Ye Yuan, Guoren Wang

A typical approach is to formulate causal inference as a supervised learning problem and so counterfactual could be predicted.

AREA: Adaptive Reference-set Based Evolutionary Algorithm for Multiobjective Optimisation

no code implementations15 Oct 2019 Shouyong Jiang, Hongru Li, Jinglei Guo, Mingjun Zhong, Shengxiang Yang, Marcus Kaiser, Natalio Krasnogor

The proposed framework is combined with new strategies, such as reference adaptation and adaptive local mating, to solve different types of problems.

Trust-Region Variational Inference with Gaussian Mixture Models

no code implementations10 Jul 2019 Oleg Arenz, Mingjun Zhong, Gerhard Neumann

For efficient improvement of the GMM approximation, we derive a lower bound on the corresponding optimization objective enabling us to update the components independently.

Transfer Learning for Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring

1 code implementation23 Feb 2019 Michele DIncecco, Stefano Squartini, Mingjun Zhong

It is not clear if the method could be generalised or transferred to different domains, e. g., the test data were drawn from a different country comparing to the training data.

Neural Control Variates for Variance Reduction

no code implementations1 Jun 2018 Ruosi Wan, Mingjun Zhong, Haoyi Xiong, Zhanxing Zhu

In statistics and machine learning, approximation of an intractable integration is often achieved by using the unbiased Monte Carlo estimator, but the variances of the estimation are generally high in many applications.

Sequence-to-point learning with neural networks for nonintrusive load monitoring

8 code implementations29 Dec 2016 Chaoyun Zhang, Mingjun Zhong, Zongzuo Wang, Nigel Goddard, Charles Sutton

Interestingly, we systematically show that the convolutional neural networks can inherently learn the signatures of the target appliances, which are automatically added into the model to reduce the identifiability problem.

Latent Bayesian melding for integrating individual and population models

1 code implementation NeurIPS 2015 Mingjun Zhong, Nigel Goddard, Charles Sutton

In many statistical problems, a more coarse-grained model may be suitable for population-level behaviour, whereas a more detailed model is appropriate for accurate modelling of individual behaviour.

Signal Aggregate Constraints in Additive Factorial HMMs, with Application to Energy Disaggregation

no code implementations NeurIPS 2014 Mingjun Zhong, Nigel Goddard, Charles Sutton

Blind source separation problems are difficult because they are inherently unidentifiable, yet the entire goal is to identify meaningful sources.

Bayesian Analysis for miRNA and mRNA Interactions Using Expression Data

no code implementations12 Oct 2012 Mingjun Zhong, Rong Liu, Bo Liu

Compared to the point estimate algorithms, which only provide single estimates for those parameters, the Bayesian methods are more meaningful and provide credible intervals, which take into account the uncertainty of the inferred interactions of the miRNA and mRNA.
