no code implementations14 Sep 2022 Xin Zhang, Qiaoyu Tan, Xiao Huang, Bo Li

Thus, blindly augmenting all graphs without considering their individual characteristics may undermine the performance of GCL arts.

In essence, GPA infers tailored augmentation strategies for each graph based on its topology and node attributes via a learnable augmentation selector, which is a plug-and-play module and can be effectively trained with downstream GCL models end-to-end.

On-line Search History-assisted Restart Strategy for Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy

no code implementations16 Mar 2019 Yang Lou, Shiu Yin Yuen, Guanrong Chen, Xin Zhang

The entire on-line search history of cNrGA is stored in a binary space partitioning (BSP) tree, which is effective for performing local search.

Probabilistic Verification of Fairness Properties via Concentration

1 code implementation2 Dec 2018 Osbert Bastani, Xin Zhang, Armando Solar-Lezama

As machine learning systems are increasingly used to make real world legal and financial decisions, it is of paramount importance that we develop algorithms to verify that these systems do not discriminate against minorities.

Skeleton-based Gesture Recognition Using Several Fully Connected Layers with Path Signature Features and Temporal Transformer Module

1 code implementation17 Nov 2018 Chenyang Li, Xin Zhang, Lufan Liao, Lianwen Jin, Weixin Yang

In this paper, we first leverage a robust feature descriptor, path signature (PS), and propose three PS features to explicitly represent the spatial and temporal motion characteristics, i. e., spatial PS (S_PS), temporal PS (T_PS) and temporal spatial PS (T_S_PS).

Taming Convergence for Asynchronous Stochastic Gradient Descent with Unbounded Delay in Non-Convex Learning

no code implementations24 May 2018 Xin Zhang, Jia Liu, Zhengyuan Zhu

Understanding the convergence performance of asynchronous stochastic gradient descent method (Async-SGD) has received increasing attention in recent years due to their foundational role in machine learning.

Land use mapping in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area based on semantic segmentation deep learning method

no code implementations18 Mar 2018 Xin Zhang, Bingfang Wu, Liang Zhu, Fuyou Tian, Miao Zhang, Yuanzeng

In this paper, we first test the state of the art semantic segmentation deep learning classifiers for LUCC mapping with 7 categories in the TGRA area with rapideye 5m resolution data.

Interpreting Neural Network Judgments via Minimal, Stable, and Symbolic Corrections

no code implementations NeurIPS 2018 Xin Zhang, Armando Solar-Lezama, Rishabh Singh

We argue that such a correction is a useful way to provide feedback to a user when the network's output is different from a desired output.

Aspect-level Sentiment Classification with HEAT (HiErarchical ATtention) Network

no code implementations CIKM 2017 Jiajun Cheng, Shenglin Zhao, Jiani Zhang, Irwin King, Xin Zhang, Hui Wang

However, the prior work only attends to the sentiment information and ignores the aspect-related information in the text, which may cause mismatching between the sentiment words and the aspects when an unrelated sentiment word is semantically meaningful for the given aspect.

Learning Multi-level Features For Sensor-based Human Action Recognition

no code implementations22 Nov 2016 Yan Xu, Zhengyang Shen, Xin Zhang, Yifan Gao, Shujian Deng, Yipei Wang, Yubo Fan, Eric I-Chao Chang

This paper proposes a multi-level feature learning framework for human action recognition using a single body-worn inertial sensor.

Blocking Collapsed Gibbs Sampler for Latent Dirichlet Allocation Models

no code implementations2 Aug 2016 Xin Zhang, Scott A. Sisson

In this article, we introduce a blocking scheme to the collapsed Gibbs sampler for the LDA model which can, with a theoretical guarantee, improve chain mixing efficiency.

End to End Learning for Self-Driving Cars
