Abstract:

This talk will present some of our recent work in trying to understand the well-known convolutional and recurrent networks and explore some new designs. We start with explaining convolutional networks, where I will talk about our approaches in explaining deep network predictions to human. Drawbacks in traditional CNNs, such as rigidity of the convolutional filter, and overconfidence on outliers and adversarial examples lead us to explore new designs of the CNN. We will talk about PointConv, which efficiently implements CNN on irregularly spaced 3D point cloud

data, as well as HyperGAN, where we generate all the weights of a convolutional network via a GAN to estimate uncertainty in deep learning predictions, as well as detecting outliers and adversarial examples. Experiment results on semantic segmentation on point clouds, uncertainty estimation and adversarial robustness of CNNs will be shown that significantly improve over prior work. On recurrent networks, I will talk about our experience utilizing LSTM in multi-target tracking and show some intuitions about why the current LSTM may be insufficient for long-term multi-object tracking. A novel bilinear LSTM model suitable for multi-target tracking problems will be proposed, motivated by the classic recursive least squares formulation. Results on the MOT 2016 and MOT 2017 challenges will be shown that significantly outperform traditional LSTMs in terms of identity switches.
