Oracle performance for visual captioning

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the possibility of empirically establishing performance upper bounds on various visual captioning datasets without extra data labelling effort or human evaluation, and demonstrate the construction of such bounds on MS-COCO, YouTube2Text and LSMDC (a combination of M-VAD and MPII-MD).

Texture Modeling with Convolutional Spike-and-Slab RBMs and Deep Extensions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply the spike-and-slab Restricted Boltzmann Machine (ssRBM) to texture modeling, which achieves or surpasses the state-of-the-art on texture synthesis and inpainting.

Combined Reinforcement Learning via Abstract Representations

TL;DR: In this paper, a shared low-dimensional learned encoding of the environment is proposed to capture summarizing abstractions, which leads to good generalization while being computationally efficient, with planning happening in a smaller latent state space.

Underwhelming Generalization Improvements From Controlling Feature Attribution

TL;DR: This work describes a simple method for taking advantage of auxiliary labels, by training networks to ignore the distracting features which may be extracted outside of the region of interest, on the training images for which such masks are available.

Knowledge Matters: Importance of Prior Information for Optimization

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the effect of introducing prior information into the intermediate level of neural networks for a learning task on which all the state-of-theart machine learning algorithms tested failed to learn.
