As AI models grow larger, they become less insightful, not more. To ensure that they continue to learn, we need to reduce their inference time.
How do you match AI warnings about future events with what actually happens? A KDD test-of-time award recognizes a 2014 approach that modern systems still need.
In-context learning enables a model that can solve forecasting tasks with an arbitrary number of dimensions in a zero-shot manner.

February 2, 202610 min readEvery NFL game generates millions of tracking data points from 22 RFID-equipped players. Seventy-five machine learning models running on AWS process that data in under a second, transforming football into a sport where every movement is measured, modeled, and instantly analyzed. -

WACV 2024 Workshop on Physical Retail AI2024Demand prediction is a crucial task for e-commerce and physical retail businesses, especially during high-stake sales events. However, the limited availability of historical data from these peak periods poses a significant challenge for traditional forecasting methods. In this paper, we propose a novel approach that leverages proxy data from non-peak periods, enriched by features learned from a graph neural

SDM 20242024Locality-sensitive hashing (LSH) is a fundamental algorithmic technique widely employed in large-scale data processing applications, such as nearest-neighbor search, entity resolution, and clustering. However, its applicability in some real- world scenarios is limited due to the need for careful design of hashing functions that align with specific metrics. Exist- ing LSH-based Entity Blocking solutions

AAAI 20242024Knowledge distillation aims at reducing model size without compromising much performance. Recent work has applied it to large vision-language (VL) Transformers, and has shown that attention maps in the multi-head attention modules of vision-language Transformers contain extensive intra-modal and cross-modal co-reference relations to be distilled. The standard approach is to apply a one-to-one attention

WACV 20242024In this work, we demonstrate that due to the inadequacies in the existing evaluation protocols and datasets, there is a need to revisit and comprehensively examine the multimodal Zero-Shot Learning (MZSL) problem formulation. Specifically, we address two major challenges faced by current MZSL approaches; (1) Established baselines are frequently incomparable and occasionally even flawed since existing evaluation

AAAI 20242024Scene-aware Complementary Item Retrieval (CIR) is a challenging task which requires to generate a set of compatible items across domains. Due to the subjectivity, it is difficult to set up a rigorous standard for both data collection and learning objectives. To address this challenging task, we propose a visual compatibility concept, composed of similarity (resembling in color, geometry, texture, and etc
