Predicting trajectories of pedestrians is quintessential for autonomous robots which share the same environment with humans. In order to effectively and safely interact with humans, trajectory prediction needs to be both precise and…

Feed-forward neural networks consist of a sequence of layers, in which each layer performs some processing on the information from the previous layer. A downside to this approach is that each layer (or module, as multiple modules can…

After the tremendous development of neural networks trained by backpropagation, it is a good time to develop other algorithms for training neural networks to gain more insights into networks. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for…

The Forward-Forward algorithm is an alternative learning method which consists of two forward passes rather than a forward and backward pass employed by backpropagation. Forward-Forward networks employ layer local loss functions which are…

Distribution feeder long-term load forecast (LTLF) is a critical task many electric utility companies perform on an annual basis. The goal of this task is to forecast the annual load of distribution feeders. The previous top-down and…

3D skeleton-based motion prediction and activity recognition are two interwoven tasks in human behaviour analysis. In this work, we propose a motion context modeling methodology that provides a new way to combine the advantages of both…

Network initialization is the first and critical step for training neural networks. In this paper, we propose a novel network initialization scheme based on the celebrated Stein's identity. By viewing multi-layer feedforward neural networks…

Self size-estimating feedforward network (SSFN) is a feedforward multilayer network. For the existing SSFN, a part of each weight matrix is trained using a layer-wise convex optimization approach (a supervised training), while the other…

Existing Graph Convolutional Networks to achieve human motion prediction largely adopt a one-step scheme, which output the prediction straight from history input, failing to exploit human motion patterns. We observe that human motions have…

The correct characterization of uncertainty when predicting human motion is equally important as the accuracy of this prediction. We present a new method to correctly predict the uncertainty associated with the predicted distribution of…

Stochastic Human Motion Prediction (HMP) has received increasing attention due to its wide applications. Despite the rapid progress in generative fields, existing methods often face challenges in learning continuous temporal dynamics and…

Rotary motors, such as hybrid stepper motors (HSMs), are widely used in industries varying from printing applications to robotics. The increasing need for productivity and efficiency without increasing the manufacturing costs calls for…

Accurate prediction of agent motion trajectories is crucial for autonomous driving, contributing to the reduction of collision risks in human-vehicle interactions and ensuring ample response time for other traffic participants. Current…

The regression of a functional response on a set of scalar predictors can be a challenging task, especially if there is a large number of predictors, or the relationship between those predictors and the response is nonlinear. In this work,…

Modeling complex systems that evolve toward equilibrium distributions is important in various physical applications, including molecular dynamics and robotic control. These systems often follow the stochastic gradient descent of an…
