Long-term human motion can be represented as a series of motion modes---motion sequences that capture short-term temporal dynamics---with transitions between them. We leverage this structure and present a novel Motion Transformation Variational Auto-Encoders (MT-VAE) for learning motion sequence generation. Our model j…

New method uses random projections to estimate densities and modes efficiently.
Neurons predict future scalar inputs by learning top modes of lag vectors.
Unified model predicts multi-mode failure with multi-sensor data.
Mode connectivity is a recently introduced frame- work that empirically establishes the connected- ness of minima by finding a high accuracy curve between two independently trained models. To investigate the limits of this setup, we examine the efficacy of this technique in extreme cases where the input models are trai…
Many image-to-image translation problems are ambiguous, as a single input image may correspond to multiple possible outputs. In this work, we aim to model a \emph{distribution} of possible outputs in a conditional generative modeling setting. The ambiguity of the mapping is distilled in a low-dimensional latent vector,…

In industrial systems, certain process variables that need to be monitored for detecting faults are often difficult or impossible to measure. Soft sensor techniques are widely used to estimate such difficult-to-measure process variables from easy-to-measure ones. Soft sensor modeling requires training datasets includin…
We propose an estimation method for the conditional mode when the conditioning variable is high-dimensional. In the proposed method, we first estimate the conditional density by solving quantile regressions multiple times. We then estimate the conditional mode by finding the maximum of the estimated conditional density…

Identifying the distribution of users' transportation modes is an essential part of travel demand analysis and transportation planning.

Generative Adversarial Networks are known for their high quality outputs and versatility. However, they also suffer the mode collapse in their output data distribution. There have been many efforts to revamp GANs model and reduce mode collapse. This paper focuses on two of these models, PacGAN and VEEGAN. This paper ex…

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are innovative techniques for learning generative models of complex data distributions from samples. Despite remarkable recent improvements in generating realistic images, one of their major shortcomings is the fact that in practice, they tend to produce samples with little divers…
The paper deals with regression problems, in which the nonsmooth target is assumed to switch between different operating modes. Specifically, piecewise smooth (PWS) regression considers target functions switching deterministically via a partition of the input space, while switching regression considers arbitrary switch…
Many generative models have to combat . The conventional wisdom to this end is by reducing through training a statistical distance (such as -divergence) between the generated distribution and provided data distribution. But this is more of a heuristic than a guarantee. The statistical distanc…

We optimize a tight bound (auxiliary function) of our relaxation, which, at each iteration, amounts…
Indoor localization based on SIngle Of Fingerprint (SIOF) is rather susceptible to the changing environment, multipath, and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) propagation.

An epidemic spreading prediction model is established based on the SEIS-A framework. The prediction process contains two phases. In …
Standard adversarial training involves two agents, namely a generator and a discriminator, playing a mini-max game. However, even if the players converge to an equilibrium, the generator may only recover a part of the target data distribution, in a situation commonly referred to as mode collapse. In this work, we prese…

This method is in practice difficult, because it requires a global optimization of a complicated function,…
