Recently unsupervised learning of depth from videos has made remarkable progress and the results are comparable to fully supervised methods in outdoor scenes like KITTI. However, there still exist great challenges when directly applying this technology in indoor environments, e.g., large areas of non-texture regions like white wall, more complex ego-motion of handheld camera, transparent glasses and shiny objects. To overcome these problems, we propose a new optical-flow based training paradigm which reduces the difficulty of unsupervised learning by providing a clearer training target and handles the non-texture regions. Our experimental evaluation demonstrates that the result of our method is comparable to fully supervised methods on the NYU Depth V2 benchmark. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first quantitative result of purely unsupervised learning method reported on indoor datasets.
To alleviate the error propagation in the traditional pipelined models for Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR) parsing, we formulate AMR parsing as a joint task that performs the two subtasks: concept identification and relation identification simultaneously. To this end, we first develop a novel componentwise beam search algorithm for relation identification in an incremental fashion, and then incorporate the decoder into a unified framework based on multiple-beam search, which allows for the bi-directional information flow between the two subtasks in a single incremental model. Experiments on the public datasets demonstrate that our joint model significantly outperforms the previous pipelined counterparts, and also achieves better or comparable performance than other approaches to AMR parsing, without utilizing external semantic resources.
Unsupervised depth learning takes the appearance difference between a target view and a view synthesized from its adjacent frame as supervisory signal. Since the supervisory signal only comes from images themselves, the resolution of training data significantly impacts the performance. High-resolution images contain more fine-grained details and provide more accurate supervisory signal. However, due to the limitation of memory and computation power, the original images are typically down-sampled during training, which suffers heavy loss of details and disparity accuracy. In order to fully explore the information contained in high-resolution data, we propose a simple yet effective dual networks architecture, which can directly take highresolution images as input and generate high-resolution and high-accuracy depth map efficiently. We also propose a Self-assembled Attention (SA-Attention) module to handle low-texture region. The evaluation on the benchmark KITTI and Make3D datasets demonstrates that our method achieves state-of-the-art results in the monocular depth estimation task.
We propose a novel reranking method to extend a deterministic neural dependency parser. Different to conventional k-best reranking, the proposed model integrates search and learning by utilizing a dynamic action revising process, using the reranking model to guide modification for the base outputs and to rerank the candidates. The dynamic reranking model achieves an absolute 1.78% accuracy improvement over the deterministic baseline parser on PTB, which is the highest improvement by neural rerankers in the literature.
A composite paper was designed in order to remove dyes and heavy metal ions in wastewater, which was prepared by assembling NH 2 -Cu-BDC layer by layer on the surface of the carboxymethyl-modified filter paper (CMFP). The prepared composite paper (Cu-MOFs/CMFP) shows the ability to capture dyes and metal ions, and the dye and metal solution can be separated by simple filtration on the MOF paper at the same time. The application of 30-layer Cu-MOFs/CMFP in the removal of pollutants in simulated wastewater was discussed, and it was found that Cu-MOFs/CMFP can simultaneously remove dyes and heavy metal ions with removal rates close to 90%. In addition, Cu-MOFs/CMFP can be reused after a simple washing process and maintains prosperous dye capture ability. The successful development of this technique provides a new strategy to design new materials for the removal of organic dyes and heavy metal ions in wastewater.
