Many multi-object tracking (MOT) methods follow the framework of "tracking by detection", which associates the target objects-of-interest based on the detection results. However, due to the separate models for detection and association, the…
Optimal transport (OT) is a widely used technique in machine learning, graphics, and vision that aligns two distributions or datasets using their relative geometry. In symmetry-rich settings, however, OT alignments based solely on pairwise…
Regularising the primal formulation of optimal transport (OT) with a strictly convex term leads to enhanced numerical complexity and a denser transport plan. Many formulations impose a global constraint on the transport plan, for instance…

The convergence of the generalized alternating projection (GAP) algorithm is studied in this paper to solve the compressive sensing problem $\yv = \Amat \xv + \epsilonv$. By assuming that $\Amat\Amat\ts$ is invertible, we prove that GAP…
The expected meeting time of two random walkers on an undirected graph of size $N$, where at each time step one walker moves and the process stops when they collide, satisfies a system of $\binom{N}{2}$ linear equations. Na\"{i}vely,…
Most current sampling algorithms for high-dimensional distributions are based on MCMC techniques and are approximate in the sense that they are valid only asymptotically. Rejection sampling, on the other hand, produces valid samples, but is…
Chaos arises in many complex dynamical systems, from weather to power grids, but is difficult to accurately model using data-driven emulators, including neural operator architectures. For chaotic systems, the inherent sensitivity to initial…
