FM 20232023Computational notebooks are widely used for machine learning (ML). However, notebooks raise new correctness concerns beyond those found in traditional programming environments. ML library APIs are easy to misuse, and the notebook execution model raises entirely new problems concerning reproducibility. It is common to use static analyses to detect bugs and enforce best practices in software applications.

International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition 20232023Synthesizing high-fidelity talking head videos of an arbitrary identity, lip-synced to a target speech segment, is a challenging problem. Recent GAN-based methods succeed by training a model on a large amount of videos, allowing the generator to learn a variety of audio-lip representations. However, they are unable to handle head pose changes. On the other hand, Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) model the

VLDB 20232023Existing general purpose frameworks for gigantic model training, i.e., dense models with billions of parameters, cannot scale efficiently on cloud environment with various networking conditions due to large communication overheads. In this paper, we propose MiCS, which Minimizes the Communication Scale to bring down communication overhead. Specifically, by decreasing the number of participants in a communication

WACV 2023 3rd Workshop on Real-World Surveillance: Applications and Challenges (RWS)2023Biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation are global challenges demanding creative and scalable solutions. Recent increases in data collection coupled with machine learning have the potential to expand landscape monitoring capabilities. We present a computer vision solution to the problem of identifying invasive species. The Australian Tree Fern (Cyathea cooperi) is a fast growing species that is displacing

WACV 2023 Workshop on Video/Audio Quality in Computer Vision2023In this paper, we propose a framework for learning feature representations for Image Quality Assessment (IQA) using contrastive learning. To account for the absence of large-scale IQA dataset, we pretrain an image encoder to cluster images based on the image quality using synthetically distorted versions of pristine unlabeled images. Images of similar quality are grouped closer in embedding space, while
