Abstract: Systems and methods for matching job descriptions with job applicants is provided. The method includes allocating each of one or more job applicants' curriculum vitae (CV) into sections; applying max pooled word embedding to each section of the job applicants' CVs; using concatenated max-pooling and average-pooling to compose the section embeddings into an applicant's CV representation; allocating each of one or more job position descriptions into specified sections; applying max pooled word embedding to each section of the job position descriptions; using concatenated max-pooling and average-pooling to compose the section embeddings into a job representation; calculating a cosine similarity between each of the job representations and each of the CV representations to perform job-to-applicant matching; and presenting an ordered list of the one or more job applicants or an ordered list of the one or more job position descriptions to a user.

Abstract: A method for learning disentangled representations of videos is presented. The method includes feeding each frame of video data into an encoder to produce a sequence of visual features, passing the sequence of visual features through a deep convolutional network to obtain a posterior of a dynamic latent variable and a posterior of a static latent variable, sampling static and dynamic representations from the posterior of the static latent variable and the posterior of the dynamic latent variable, respectively, concatenating the static and dynamic representations to be fed into a decoder to generate reconstructed sequences, and applying three regularizers to the dynamic and static latent variables to trigger representation disentanglement. To facilitate the disentangled sequential representation learning, orthogonal factorization in generative adversarial network (GAN) latent space is leveraged to pre-train a generator as a decoder in the method.

Abstract: Methods and systems for generating a peptide sequence include transforming an input peptide sequence into disentangled representations, including a structural representation and an attribute representation, using an autoencoder model. One of the disentangled representations is modified. The disentangled representations, including the modified disentangled representation, are transformed to generate a new peptide sequence using the autoencoder model.

Abstract: A false alarm reduction system and method are provided for reducing false alarms in an automatic defect detection system. The false alarm reduction system includes a defect detection system, generating a list of image boxes marking detected potential defects in an input image. The false alarm reduction system further includes a feature extractor, transforming each of the image boxes in the list into a respective set of numerical features. The false alarm reduction system also includes a classifier, computing as a classification outcome for the each of the image boxes whether the detected potential defect is a true defect or a false alarm responsive to the respective set of numerical features for each of the image boxes.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for disentangled data generation. The method includes accessing, by a variational autoencoder, a plurality of supervision signals. The method further includes accessing, by the variational autoencoder, a plurality of auxiliary tasks that utilize the supervision signals as reward signals to learn a disentangled representation. The method also includes training the variational autoencoder to disentangle a sequential data input into a time-invariant factor and a time-varying factor using a self-supervised training approach which is based on outputs of the auxiliary tasks obtained by using the supervision signals to accomplish the plurality of auxiliary tasks.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure describe techniques for training a convolutional neural network using an inconsistent stochastic gradient descent (ISGD) algorithm. Training effort for training batches used by the ISGD algorithm are dynamically adjusted according to a determined loss for a given training batch which are classified into two sub states—well-trained or under-trained. The ISGD algorithm provides more iterations for under-trained batches while reducing iterations for well-trained ones.

Abstract: A network device, system, and method are provided. The network device includes a processor. The processor is configured to store a local estimate and a dual variable maintaining an accumulated subgradient for the network device. The processor is further configured to collect values of the dual variable of neighboring network devices. The processor is also configured to form a convex combination with equal weight from the collected dual variable of neighboring network devices. The processor is additionally configured to add a most recent local subgradient for the network device, scaled by a scaling factor, to the convex combination to obtain an updated dual variable. The processor is further configured to update the local estimate by projecting the updated dual variable to a primal space.

Abstract: Methods for system failure prediction include clustering log files according to structural log patterns. Feature representations of the log files are determined based on the log clusters. A likelihood of a system failure is determined based on the feature representations using a neural network. An automatic system control action is performed if the likelihood of system failure exceeds a threshold.

Abstract: A video retrieval system is provided, that includes a set of servers, configured to retrieve a video sequence from a database and forward it to a requesting device responsive to a match between an input text and a caption for the video sequence. The servers are further configured to translate the video sequence into the caption by (A) applying a C3D to image frames of the video sequence to obtain therefor (i) intermediate feature representations across L convolutional layers and (ii) top-layer features, (B) producing a first word of the caption for the video sequence by applying the top-layer features to a LSTM, and (C) producing subsequent words of the caption by (i) dynamically performing spatiotemporal attention and layer attention using the representations to form a context vector, and (ii) applying the LSTM to the context vector, a previous word of the caption, and a hidden state of the LSTM.
