The Kalman filter (KF) is used in a variety of applications for computing the posterior distribution of latent states in a state space model. The model requires a linear relationship between states and observations. Extensions to the Kalman filter have been proposed that incorporate linear approximations to nonlinear m…
We empirically characterize the performance of discriminative and generative LSTM models for text classification. We find that although RNN-based generative models are more powerful than their bag-of-words ancestors (e.g., they account for conditional dependencies across words in a document), they have higher asymptoti…
LFD method improves text classification by making features clearer and less label-leaking.
Generic generation and manipulation of text is challenging and has limited success compared to recent deep generative modeling in visual domain. This paper aims at generating plausible natural language sentences, whose attributes are dynamically controlled by learning disentangled latent representations with designated…
Associating image regions with text queries has been recently explored as a new way to bridge visual and linguistic representations. A few pioneering approaches have been proposed based on recurrent neural language models trained generatively (e.g., generating captions), but achieving somewhat limited localization accu…
Automated feature selection is important for text categorization to reduce the feature size and to speed up the learning process of classifiers. In this paper, we present a novel and efficient feature selection framework based on the Information Theory, which aims to rank the features with their discriminative capacity…

A new type of End-to-End system for text-dependent speaker verification is presented in this paper. Previously, using the phonetically discriminative/speaker discriminative DNNs as feature extractors for speaker verification has shown promising results. The extracted frame-level (DNN bottleneck, posterior or d-vector) …
Active learning aims to develop label-efficient algorithms by sampling the most representative queries to be labeled by an oracle. We describe a pool-based semi-supervised active learning algorithm that implicitly learns this sampling mechanism in an adversarial manner. Unlike conventional active learning algorithms, o…

A latent-variable model is introduced for text matching, inferring sentence representations by jointly optimizing generative and discriminative objectives. To alleviate typical optimization challenges in latent-variable models for text, we employ deconvolutional networks as the sequence decoder (generator), providing l…
We study the problem of inferring readers' identities and estimating their level of text comprehension from observations of their eye movements during reading. We develop a generative model of individual gaze patterns (scanpaths) that makes use of lexical features of the fixated words. Using this generative model, we d…

Generative text classifiers are most vulnerable to membership inference attacks.
Traditional clustering methods often perform clustering with low-level indiscriminative representations and ignore relationships between patterns, resulting in slight achievements in the era of deep learning. To handle this problem, we develop Deep Discriminative Clustering (DDC) that models the clustering task by inve…

The Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) has achieved great success in generating realistic (real-valued) synthetic data.

Unlike most existing feature selection approaches, the proposed FSMJ approach is based on real-valued features which provide mo…
End-to-end speaker verification framework reduces text dependency.
Generative adversarial nets (GAN) has been successfully introduced for generating text to alleviate the exposure bias. However, discriminators in these models only evaluate the entire sequence, which causes feedback sparsity and mode collapse. To tackle these problems, we propose a novel mechanism. It first segments th…

Our objective is purely discriminative, allowing us to train models many times faster than was possible …
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have experienced a recent surge in popularity, performing competitively in a variety of tasks, especially in computer vision. However, GAN training has shown limited success in natural language processing. This is largely because sequences of text are discrete, and thus gradients …

One of the key challenges of performing label prediction over a data stream concerns with the emergence of instances belonging to unobserved class labels over time. Previously, this problem has been addressed by detecting such instances and using them for appropriate classifier adaptation. The fundamental aspect of a n…
Hashing techniques have been applied broadly in retrieval tasks due to their low storage requirements and high speed of processing.

The standard state-of-the-art backend for text-independent speaker recognizers that use i-vectors or x-vectors, is Gaussian PLDA (G-PLDA), assisted by a Gaussianization step involving length normalization. G-PLDA can be trained with both generative or discriminative methods. It has long been known that heavy-tailed PLD…
Anomaly detection is the process of finding data points that deviate from a baseline. In a real-life setting, anomalies are usually unknown or extremely rare. Moreover, the detection must be accomplished in a timely manner or the risk of corrupting the system might grow exponentially. In this work, we propose a two lev…
