Detecting audio-video (A/V) synchronization error is important to measure end user experience. Today, researchers in this domain are mainly focused on contents such as movies or sports. The state of art algorithms usually first detect a specific type of events and then correlate the A/V data within during these events, e.g., find the human chatting events and then correlate the vocals with the lip shapes

Monocular depth estimation (MDE) has attracted intense study due to its low cost and critical functions for robotic tasks such as localization, mapping and obstacle detection. Supervised approaches have led to great success with the advance of deep learning, but they rely on large quantities of ground-truth depth annotations that are expensive to acquire. Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) transfers knowledge

Time series forecasting is a fundamental problem in machine learning with relevance to many applications including supply chain management, finance, healthcare, etc. As an example, consider a large e-commerce retailer with a system to produce forecasts of the demand distribution for a set of products at a target time T. Using these forecasts as an input, the retailer can then optimize buying and placement

We propose Conditional Imputation GAN, an extended missing data imputation method based on Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). The motivating use case is learning-to-rank, the cornerstone of modern search, recommendation system, and information retrieval applications. Empirical ranking datasets do not always follow standard Gaussian distributions or Missing Completely At Random (MCAR) mechanism, which

In many forecasting applications (e.g. retail demand, electricity load, weather, finance, etc.), the forecasts must obey certain properties such as having certain context-dependent and time-varying seasonality patterns and avoiding excessive revision as new information becomes available. Here we propose a new forecasting neural net architecture that addresses some of these issues, MQ-Transformer, by incorporating
