ICLR 20232023The ability to jointly learn from multiple modalities, such as text, audio, and visual data, is a defining feature of intelligent systems. While there have been promising advances in designing neural networks to harness multimodal data, the enormous success of data augmentation currently remains limited to single-modality tasks like image classification. Indeed, it is particularly difficult to augment each

ACL 20232023Recently, neural models have been leveraged to significantly improve the performance of information extraction from semi-structured websites. However, a barrier for continued progress is the small number of datasets large enough to train these models. In this work, we introduce the PLAtE (Pages of Lists Attribute Extraction) benchmark dataset as a challenging new web extraction task. PLAtE focuses on shopping

IEEE IV 2023 Intelligent Vehicles Symposium2023Recent advancements in generative models have led to significant improvements in the quality of generated images, making them virtually indistinguishable from real ones. However, using AI generated images for training robust computer vision models for real-world applications, especially object detection in road scene perception, is still a challenge. AI generated images usually lack the required diversity

ICANN 20232023Neural network implementations have predominantly been a black box lacking both in interpretability and estimation of uncertainty. In this study, we propose a novel causal attribution methodology for mixture density networks wherein we outline a framework to compute the causal effect of each feature on the target variable along with the associated uncertainty in the attribution. Our approach allows for

VLDB 20232023Information Extraction (IE) from semi-structured web-pages is a long studied problem. Training a model for this extraction task requires a large number of human-labeled samples. Prior works have proposed transferable models to improve the label-efficiency of this training process. Extraction performance of transferable models however, depends on the size of their fine-tuning corpus. This holds true for
