Augmented CycleGAN: Learning Many-to-Many Mappings from Unpaired Data

TL;DR: Augmented CycleGAN as mentioned in this paper learns many-to-many mappings between domains, which can reduce the need for paired data and improve the performance of CycleGAN for image segmentation.

Unsupervised Learning of Dense Visual Representations

TL;DR: View-Agnostic Dense Representation (VADeR) is proposed for unsupervised learning of dense representations of pixelwise representations by forcing local features to remain constant over different viewing conditions through pixel-level contrastive learning.

Augmented CycleGAN: Learning Many-to-Many Mappings from Unpaired Data

TL;DR: This work proposes a new model, called Augmented CycleGAN, which learns many-to-many mappings between domains, and examines it qualitatively and quantitatively on several image datasets.

Learning Distributed Representations from Reviews for Collaborative Filtering

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the increased flexibility offered by the product-of-experts model allowed it to achieve state- of-the-art performance on the Amazon review dataset, outperforming the LDA-based approach, however, interestingly, the greater modeling power offers by the recurrent neural network appears to undermine the model's ability to act as a regularizer of the product representations.
