Contributions to In Silico Genome Annotation

-

B3 L5 R5209

Abstract Genome annotation is an important topic since it provides information for the foundation of downstream genomic and biological research. It is considered as a way of summarizing part of existing knowledge about the genomic characteristics of an organism. Annotating different regions of a genome sequence is known as structural annotation while identifying functions of these regions are considered as a functional annotation. In silico approaches can facilitate both tasks that otherwise would be difficult and time-consuming. This study contributes to genome annotation by introducing

Learning for Visual Data Synthesis and Analysis

Dr. Timo Ropinski, Professor, Visual Computing, Ulm University, Germany

-

B9 L2 H1 R2322

Abstract In this talk, I will present our recent advances in deep learning to synthesize and analyze visual data, such as images, volumes, and point clouds. The presented approaches are loosely aligned along the classical computer graphics rendering pipeline, whereby both structured and unstructured data are handled. I will first present concepts for learning in object space, i.e., directly on the data to be rendered. To realize different visual tasks, such as normal estimation and segmentation, I will discuss how Monte Carlo integration can be used to realize convolutions on point cloud data

Space-Time Tomographic Reconstruction of Deforming Objects

-

B1 L2 R2202

In this thesis, a variety of applications in computer vision and graphics of inverse problems using tomographic imaging modalities will be presented: (i) The first application focuses on the CT reconstruction with a specific emphasis on recovering thin 1D and 2D manifolds embedded in 3D volumes. (ii) The second application is about space-time tomography (iii) Base on the second application, the third one is aiming to improve the tomographic reconstruction of time-varying geometries undergoing faster, non-periodic deformations, by a warp-and-project strategy. Finally, with a physically plausible divergence-free prior for motion estimation, as well as a novel view synthesis technique, we present applications to dynamic fluid imaging which further demonstrates the flexibility of our optimization frameworks

EE+CS Graduate Seminar: Deep Graph Convolutional Networks

-

KAUST

In this talk, I will present a line of work done at the Image and Video Understanding Lab (IVUL), which focuses on developing deep graph convolutional networks (DeepGCNs). A GCN is a deep learning network that processes generic graph inputs, thus extending the impact of deep learning to irregular grid data including 3D point clouds and meshes, social graphs, protein interaction graphs, etc. By adapting architectural operations from the CNN realm and reformulating them for graphs, we were the first to show that GCNs can go as deep as CNNs. Developing such a high capacity deep learning platform for generic graphs opens up many opportunities for exciting research, which spans applications in the field of computer vision and beyond, architecture design, and theory. In this talk, I will showcase some of the GCN research done at IVUL and highlight some interesting research questions for future work.

Deep Continual Learning

-

KAUST

In this seminar, I will present some of the work I have done on Continual Deep Learning, among the research topics at the Vision-CAIR group. Continual learning aims to learn new tasks without forgetting previously learned ones. This is especially challenging when one cannot access data from previous tasks and when the model has a fixed capacity as adopted in modern deep learning techniques. Decreasing the gap towards human-level continual learning, we extended continual deep learning from multiple perspectives. The Hebb's learning theory from biology can be famously summarized as “Cells that fire together wire together.". Inspired by this theory from biology, we proposed Memory Aware Synapses (ECCV18) to quantify and reduce machine forgetting in a way that enables leveraging unlabeled data, which was not possible in former techniques. We later developed a Bayesian approach appearing at ICLR2020, where we explicitly modeled uncertainty parameters to orchestrates forgetting in continual learning. We showed in our ICLR2019 and ACCV18 works that task descriptors/ language can operate in continual learning visual tasks to improve learning efficiency and enable zero-shot task transfer. Beyond computer vision tasks, we recently developed an approach appearing at ICLR2020 we call "Compositional Language Continual Learning". We showed that disentangling syntax from semantics enables better compositional Seq2Seq learning and can significantly alleviate forgetting of tasks like machine translation. In the talk, I will go over these techniques and shed some light on future research possibilities.

Compressed communication in Distributed Deep Learning - A Systems perspective

-

KAUST

Network communication is a major bottleneck in large-scale distributed deep learning. To minimize the problem, many compressed communication schemes, in the form of quantization or sparsification, have been proposed. We investigate them from the Computer Systems perspective, under real-life deployments. We identify discrepancies between the theoretical proposals and the actual implementations, and analyze the impact on convergence.

Stylistic and spatial disentanglement in GANs

-

KAUST

This dissertation tackles the problem of entanglement in Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). The key insight is that disentanglement in GANs can be improved by differentiating between the content, and the operations performed on that content. For example, the identity of a generated face can be thought of as the content, while the lighting conditions can be thought of as the operations.

Drug Repositioning through the Development of Diverse Computational Methods using Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Graph Mining

-

KAUST

In this dissertation, we combined artificial intelligence and machine/deep learning with chemical and biological properties to develop several computational methods to solve biomedical domain problems, specifically drug repositioning, and demonstrated their efficiencies and capabilities. We developed three network-based DTI prediction methods using machine learning, graph embedding, and graph mining. These methods significantly improved prediction performance, and the best-performing method even reduces the error rate by more than 33% across all datasets compared to the best state-of-the-art method. As it is more insightful to predict continuous values that indicate how tightly the drug binds to a specific target, we conducted a comparison study of current regression-based methods that predict drug-target binding affinities (DTBA). Our methods demonstrated their efficiency and capability by achieving high prediction performance and identifying therapeutic targets for several cancer types. We further conducted a lung cancer case study of findings that support the novel predicted targets.

Designing High-Performance and Scalable Middleware for HPC, AI, and Data Science

Extraction of Complex DNN Models: Real Threat or Boogeyman? - Graduate Seminar

-

B9 L2 H2 H2

The success of deep learning in many application domains has been nothing short of dramatic. The success has brought the spotlight onto security and privacy concerns with deep learning. One of them is the threat of "model extraction": when a machine learning model is made available to customers via an inference interface, a malicious customer can use repeated queries to this interface and use the information gained to construct a surrogate model. In this talk, I will describe our work in exploring whether model extraction constitutes a realistic threat. I will also discuss possible countermeasures, focussing on deterrence mechanisms that allow for the verification of ownership of ML models.

Averaging, Momentum, and Schedulers in Optimization for Deep Learning

-

B9 L3 R3128

In this talk, I will present some work in progress on practical optimization methods for deep learning. We will start with a discussion of several empirical techniques that enable training of large-scale models in language and vision tasks, including weight decay, averaging, and schedulers. We will then look at a new approach that we call schedule-free due to its ability to work without a pre-defined time horizon. I will share some details about the theory for these methods, explain why they might be useful in practice and then shed some light on their limitations. This talk will be oriented towards people who already have some knowledge of optimization methods.
