This paper considers the problem of testing whether there exists a solution satisfying certain non-negativity constraints to a linear system of equations. Importantly and in contrast to some prior work, we allow all parameters in the system…

In this paper, we explore new approaches to combining information encoded within the learned representations of auto-encoders. We explore models that are capable of combining the attributes of multiple inputs such that a resynthesised…

Large occlusions result in a significant decline in image classification accuracy. During inference, diverse types of unseen occlusions introduce out-of-distribution data to the classification model, leading to accuracy dropping as low as…
