We propose Gaussian optimal transport for Image style transfer in an Encoder/Decoder framework. Optimal transport for Gaussian measures has closed forms Monge mappings from source to target distributions. Moreover interpolates between a content and a style image can be seen as geodesics in the Wasserstein Geometry. Usi…

Bispectral OT improves dataset comparison by preserving intrinsic coherence.
Generative Adversarial Networks have been shown to be powerful in generating content. To this end, they have been studied intensively in the last few years. Nonetheless, training these networks requires solving a saddle point problem that is difficult to solve and slowly converging. Motivated from techniques in the reg…
Study shows how heat leaks from material sets in low diffusivity scenarios.
Method aligns multilingual news for better stock return prediction.
Existing information-theoretic frameworks based on maximum entropy network ensembles are not able to explain the emergence of heterogeneity in complex networks. Here, we fill this gap of knowledge by developing a classical framework for networks based on finding an optimal trade-off between the information content of a…
Several groups are currently investigating how deep learning may advance the state-of-the-art in image and video coding. An open question is how to make deep neural networks work in conjunction with existing (and upcoming) video codecs, such as MPEG AVC, HEVC, VVC, Google VP9 and AOM AV1, as well as existing container …
Study shows online learning algorithms incentivize low-quality content, proposing new algorithms to improve quality.
Proposes a model to optimize feedback for content creators on social media.
Proposes a VAE variant for ordinal content factors.
Sensory data are often comprised of independent content and transformation factors. For example, face images may have shapes as content and poses as transformation. To infer separately these factors from given data, various ``disentangling'' models have been proposed. However, many of these are supervised or semi-super…
In the industry of video content providers such as VOD and IPTV, predicting the popularity of video contents in advance is critical not only from a marketing perspective but also from a network optimization perspective. By predicting whether the content will be successful or not in advance, the content file, which is l…
Many businesses are using recommender systems for marketing outreach. Recommendation algorithms can be either based on content or driven by collaborative filtering. We study different ways to incorporate content information directly into the matrix factorization approach of collaborative filtering. These content-booste…
Spotify improves content mix using contextual bandits.
A new model considers fatigue in online content recommendation systems.
New PCGML approach generates novel game content across multiple platformer domains.
We consider visual domains in which a class label specifies the content of an image, and class-irrelevant properties that differentiate instances constitute the style. We present a domain-independent method that permits the open-ended recombination of style of one image with the content of another. Open ended simply me…
New study shows personalized content recommendations can lead to polarization of user preferences.
Text style transfer aims to modify the style of a sentence while keeping its content unchanged. Recent style transfer systems often fail to faithfully preserve the content after changing the style. This paper proposes a structured content preserving model that leverages linguistic information in the structured fine-gra…
Study on heat content for submanifolds in sub-Riemannian geometry.
With rapid development of the Internet, web contents become huge. Most of the websites are publicly available, and anyone can access the contents from anywhere such as workplace, home and even schools. Nevertheless, not all the web contents are appropriate for all users, especially children. An example of these content…
Enhances content moderation with culturally-aware models.
Much of the data being created on the web contains interactions between users and items. Stochastic blockmodels, and other methods for community detection and clustering of bipartite graphs, can infer latent user communities and latent item clusters from this interaction data. These methods, however, typically ignore t…
Transforms web content for better visibility in AI-driven search engines.
Improves content allocation in educational platforms with sparse data.
Simple method disentangles content and style from pre-trained vision models.
Modeling incentives for content creators on algorithm-curated platforms.
Study on heat content for domains with fractal boundaries.
Proposes a new model to measure trade impact and information content in fluctuating markets.
Opportunistic communications are expected to playa crucial role in enabling context-aware vehicular services. A widely investigated opportunistic communication paradigm for storing a piece of content probabilistically in a geographica larea is Floating Content (FC). A key issue in the practical deployment of FC is how …
Measures policy-violating content prevalence with ML-assisted sampling and LLM labeling.
Recommender systems leverage product and community information to target products to consumers. Researchers have developed collaborative recommenders, content-based recommenders, and (largely ad-hoc) hybrid systems. We propose a unified probabilistic framework for merging collaborative and content-based recommendations…
Minimal surfaces can be transformed into others with unchanged bending content.
Study heat content on RCD(K,N) spaces with specific boundary conditions.
We consider the disentanglement of the representations of the relevant attributes of the data (content) from all other factors of variations (style) using Variational Autoencoders. Some recent works addressed this problem by utilizing grouped observations, where the content attributes are assumed to be common within ea…

Study heat content in sub-Riemannian manifolds, obtaining asymptotic expansion.
Content based image retrieval, a technique which uses visual contents of image to search images from large scale image databases according to users' interests. This paper provides a comprehensive survey on recent technology used in the area of content based face image retrieval. Nowadays digital devices and photo shari…
RB-Modulation trains free diffusion models without external adapters.
Cascades of information-sharing are a primary mechanism by which content reaches its audience on social media, and an active line of research has studied how such cascades, which form as content is reshared from person to person, develop and subside. In this paper, we perform a large-scale analysis of cascades on Faceb…
The geometric content of the MacDowell-Mansouri formulation of general relativity is best understood in terms of Cartan geometry. In particular, Cartan geometry gives clear geometric meaning to the MacDowell-Mansouri trick of combining the Levi-Civita connection and coframe field, or soldering form, into a single physi…
Transcribing content from structural images, e.g., writing notes from music scores, is a challenging task as not only the content objects should be recognized, but the internal structure should also be preserved. Existing image recognition methods mainly work on images with simple content (e.g., text lines with charact…
With the growth of user-generated content, we observe the constant rise of the number of companies, such as search engines, content aggregators, etc., that operate with tremendous amounts of web content not being the services hosting it. Thus, aiming to locate the most important content and promote it to the users, the…
The study aims to prevent unfair content presentation in recommender systems.
We present a hybrid method for latent information discovery on the data sets containing both text content and connection structure based on constrained low rank approximation. The new method jointly optimizes the Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) objective function for text clustering and the Symmetric NMF (SymNMF…
Learning social media data embedding by deep models has attracted extensive research interest as well as boomed a lot of applications, such as link prediction, classification, and cross-modal search. However, for social images which contain both link information and multimodal contents (e.g., text description, and visu…
