Understanding and reasoning about places and their relationships are critical for many applications. Places are traditionally curated by a small group of people as place gazetteers and are represented by an ID with spatial extent, category,…

Feature maps, that preserve the global topology of arbitrary datasets, can be formed by self-organizing competing agents. So far, it has been presumed that global interaction of agents is necessary for this process. We establish that this…

We study the problem of distributed multi-task learning with shared representation, where each machine aims to learn a separate, but related, task in an unknown shared low-dimensional subspaces, i.e. when the predictor matrix has low rank.…

Since about 100 years ago, to learn the intrinsic structure of data, many representation learning approaches have been proposed, including both linear ones and nonlinear ones, supervised ones and unsupervised ones. Particularly, deep…

Robots require a semantic understanding of their surroundings to operate in an efficient and explainable way in human environments. In the literature, there has been an extensive focus on object labeling and exhaustive scene graph…

Representations of the world environment play a crucial role in artificial intelligence. It is often inefficient to conduct reasoning and inference directly in the space of raw sensory representations, such as pixel values of images.…

The uninformative ordering of artificial neurons in Deep Neural Networks complicates visualizing activations in deeper layers. This is one reason why the internal structure of such models is very unintuitive. In neuroscience, activity of…

This paper presents a mathematically rigorous framework for brain-inspired representation learning founded on the interplay between persistent topological structures and cohomological flows. Neural computation is reformulated as the…

Current practice in convolutional neural networks (CNN) remains largely bottom-up and the role of top-down process in CNN for pattern analysis and visual inference is not very clear. In this paper, we propose a new method for structured…

In comparison to classical shallow representation learning techniques, deep neural networks have achieved superior performance in nearly every application benchmark. But despite their clear empirical advantages, it is still not well…

Deep Learning models have achieved remarkable success. Training them is often accelerated by building on top of pre-trained models which poses the risk of perpetuating encoded biases. Here, we investigate biases in the representations of…

Deep neural networks usually benefit from unsupervised pre-training, e.g. auto-encoders. However, the classifier further needs supervised fine-tuning methods for good discrimination. Besides, due to the limits of full-connection, the…

Deep learning architectures based on convolutional neural networks tend to rely on continuous, smooth features. While this characteristics provides significant robustness and proves useful in many real-world tasks, it is strikingly…

Recently, a number of competitive methods have tackled unsupervised representation learning by maximising the mutual information between the representations produced from augmentations. The resulting representations are then invariant to…

Hypergraphs, increasingly utilised for modelling complex and diverse relationships in modern networks, gain much attention representing intricate higher-order interactions. Among various challenges, cohesive subgraph discovery is one of the…

Object Navigation (ObjectNav) has made great progress with large language models (LLMs), but still faces challenges in memory management, especially in long-horizon tasks and dynamic scenes. To address this, we propose TopoNav, a new…

Leveraging on the underlying low-dimensional structure of data, low-rank and sparse modeling approaches have achieved great success in a wide range of applications. However, in many applications the data can display structures beyond simply…

In this paper we propose an ensemble of local and deep features for object classification. We also compare and contrast effectiveness of feature representation capability of various layers of convolutional neural network. We demonstrate…

Recent evidence indicates that the abundance of recurring elementary interaction patterns in complex networks, often called subgraphs or motifs, carry significant information about their function and overall organization. Yet, the…

This paper is a cursory study on how topological features are preserved within the internal representations of neural network layers. Using techniques from topological data analysis, namely persistent homology, the topological features of a…
