This work is centred around the recently proposed product key memory structure cite{large_memory}, implemented for a number of computer vision applications. The memory structure can be regarded as a simple computation primitive suitable to be augmented to nearly all neural network architectures. The memory block allows implementing sparse access to memory with square root complexity scaling with respect to the memory capacity. The latter scaling is possible due to the incorporation of Cartesian product space decomposition of the key space for the nearest neighbour search. We have tested the memory layer on the classification, image reconstruction and relocalization problems and found that for some of those, the memory layers can provide significant speed/accuracy improvement with the high utilization of the key-value elements, while others require more careful fine-tuning and suffer from dying keys. To tackle the later problem we have introduced a simple technique of memory re-initialization which helps us to eliminate unused key-value pairs from the memory and engage them in training again. We have conducted various experiments and got improvements in speed and accuracy for classification and PoseNet relocalization models. We showed that the re-initialization has a huge impact on a toy example of randomly labeled data and observed some gains in performance on the image classification task. We have also demonstrated the generalization property perseverance of the large memory layers on the relocalization problem, while observing the spatial correlations between the images and the selected memory cells.

This paper introduces a structured memory which can be easily integrated into a neural network. The memory is very large by design and significantly increases the capacity of the architecture, by up to a billion parameters with a negligible computati onal overhead. Its design and access pattern is based on product keys, which enable fast and exact nearest neighbor search. The ability to increase the number of parameters while keeping the same computational budget lets the overall system strike a better trade-off between prediction accuracy and computation efficiency both at training and test time. This memory layer allows us to tackle very large scale language modeling tasks. In our experiments we consider a dataset with up to 30 billion words, and we plug our memory layer in a state-of-the-art transformer-based architecture. In particular, we found that a memory augmented model with only 12 layers outperforms a baseline transformer model with 24 layers, while being twice faster at inference time. We release our code for reproducibility purposes.
We propose a deep neural network architecture to infer dense depth from an image and a sparse point cloud. It is trained using a video stream and corresponding synchronized sparse point cloud, as obtained from a LIDAR or other range sensor, along wit h the intrinsic calibration parameters of the camera. At inference time, the calibration of the camera, which can be different than the one used for training, is fed as an input to the network along with the sparse point cloud and a single image. A Calibrated Backprojection Layer backprojects each pixel in the image to three-dimensional space using the calibration matrix and a depth feature descriptor. The resulting 3D positional encoding is concatenated with the image descriptor and the previous layer output to yield the input to the next layer of the encoder. A decoder, exploiting skip-connections, produces a dense depth map. The resulting Calibrated Backprojection Network, or KBNet, is trained without supervision by minimizing the photometric reprojection error. KBNet imputes missing depth value based on the training set, rather than on generic regularization. We test KBNet on public depth completion benchmarks, where it outperforms the state of the art by 30% indoor and 8% outdoor when the same camera is used for training and testing. When the test camera is different, the improvement reaches 62%. Code available at: https://github.com/alexklwong/calibrated-backprojection-network.
Image registration has been widely studied over the past several decades, with numerous applications in science, engineering and medicine. Most of the conventional mathematical models for large deformation image registration rely on prescribed landma rks, which usually require tedious manual labeling and are prone to error. In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in the use of machine learning for image registration. In this paper, we develop a novel method for large deformation image registration by a fusion of quasiconformal theory and convolutional neural network (CNN). More specifically, we propose a quasiconformal energy model with a novel fidelity term that incorporates the features extracted using a pre-trained CNN, thereby allowing us to obtain meaningful registration results without any guidance of prescribed landmarks. Moreover, unlike many prior image registration methods, the bijectivity of our method is guaranteed by quasiconformal theory. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. More broadly, our work sheds light on how rigorous mathematical theories and practical machine learning approaches can be integrated for developing computational methods with improved performance.

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are the state-of-the-art algorithms for the processing of images. However the configuration and training of these networks is a complex task requiring deep domain knowledge, experience and much trial and error. Us ing genetic algorithms, competitive CNN topologies for image recognition can be produced for any specific purpose, however in previous work this has come at high computational cost. In this work two novel approaches are presented to the utilisation of these algorithms, effective in reducing complexity and training time by nearly 20%. This is accomplished via regularisation directly on training time, and the use of partial training to enable early ranking of individual architectures. Both approaches are validated on the benchmark CIFAR10 data set, and maintain accuracy.

Since the Lipschitz properties of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are widely considered to be related to adversarial robustness, we theoretically characterize the $ell_1$ norm and $ell_infty$ norm of 2D multi-channel convolutional layers and pro vide efficient methods to compute the exact $ell_1$ norm and $ell_infty$ norm. Based on our theorem, we propose a novel regularization method termed norm decay, which can effectively reduce the norms of convolutional layers and fully-connected layers. Experiments show that norm-regularization methods, including norm decay, weight decay, and singular value clipping, can improve generalization of CNNs. However, they can slightly hurt adversarial robustness. Observing this unexpected phenomenon, we compute the norms of layers in the CNNs trained with three different adversarial training frameworks and surprisingly find that adversarially robust CNNs have comparable or even larger layer norms than their non-adversarially robust counterparts. Furthermore, we prove that under a mild assumption, adversarially robust classifiers can be achieved using neural networks, and an adversarially robust neural network can have an arbitrarily large Lipschitz constant. For this reason, enforcing small norms on CNN layers may be neither necessary nor effective in achieving adversarial robustness. The code is available at https://github.com/youweiliang/norm_robustness.
