Layer 2 Atomic Cross-Blockchain Function Calls

2 code implementations19 May 2020 Peter Robinson, Raghavendra Ramesh

Existing atomic cross-blockchain function call protocols are Blockchain Layer 1 protocols, which require changes to the blockchain platform software to operate.

Parallelizing Training of Deep Generative Models on Massive Scientific Datasets

2 code implementations5 Oct 2019 Sam Ade Jacobs, Brian Van Essen, David Hysom, Jae-Seung Yeom, Tim Moon, Rushil Anirudh, Jayaraman J. Thiagaranjan, Shusen Liu, Peer-Timo Bremer, Jim Gaffney, Tom Benson, Peter Robinson, Luc Peterson, Brian Spears

Training deep neural networks on large scientific data is a challenging task that requires enormous compute power, especially if no pre-trained models exist to initialize the process.

Face Alignment Assisted by Head Pose Estimation

1 code implementation11 Jul 2015 Heng Yang, Wenxuan Mou, Yichi Zhang, Ioannis Patras, Hatice Gunes, Peter Robinson

In this paper we propose a supervised initialization scheme for cascaded face alignment based on explicit head pose estimation.

Anonymous State Pinning for Private Blockchains

1 code implementation7 Mar 2019 Peter Robinson, John Brainard

Existing solutions offering pinning to the public blockchain would reveal the transaction rate of the private blockchain, and do not provide a mechanism to contest the validity of a pin.

An Empirical Study of Recent Face Alignment Methods

no code implementations16 Nov 2015 Heng Yang, Xuhui Jia, Chen Change Loy, Peter Robinson

In this paper, we carry out a rigorous evaluation of these methods by making the following contributions: 1) we proposes a new evaluation metric for face alignment on a set of images, i. e., area under error distribution curve within a threshold, AUC$_\alpha$, given the fact that the traditional evaluation measure (mean error) is very sensitive to big alignment error.

Human and Sheep Facial Landmarks Localisation by Triplet Interpolated Features

no code implementations16 Sep 2015 Heng Yang, Renqiao Zhang, Peter Robinson

Furthermore, we study the impact of training data imbalance on model performance and propose a training sample augmentation scheme that produces more initialisations for training samples from the minority.

Het-node2vec: second order random walk sampling for heterogeneous multigraphs embedding

no code implementations5 Jan 2021 Giorgio Valentini, Elena Casiraghi, Luca Cappelletti, Tommaso Fontana, Justin Reese, Peter Robinson

The development of Graph Representation Learning methods for heterogeneous graphs is fundamental in several real-world applications, since in several contexts graphs are characterized by different types of nodes and edges.
