Question: Computational imaging systems jointly design computation and hardware to retrieve information which is not traditionally accessible with standard imaging systems. Recently, critical aspects such as experimental design and image priors are optimized through deep neural networks formed by the unrolled iterations of classical physics-based reconstructions (termed physics-based networks). However, for real-world large-scale systems, computing gradients via backpropagation restricts learning due to memory limitations of graphical processing units. In this work, we propose a memory-efficient learning procedure that exploits the reversibility of the network’s layers to enable data-driven design for large-scale computational imaging. We demonstrate our methods practicality on two large-scale systems: super-resolution optical microscopy and multi-channel magnetic resonance imaging.

Answer: We propose a memory-efficient learning procedure that exploits the reversibility of the network’s layers to enable data-driven design for large-scale computational imaging.


Question: Generative models that can model and predict sequences of future events can, in principle, learn to capture complex real-world phenomena, such as physical interactions. However, a central challenge in video prediction is that the future is highly uncertain: a sequence of past observations of events can imply many possible futures. Although a number of recent works have studied probabilistic models that can represent uncertain futures, such models are either extremely expensive computationally as in the case of pixel-level autoregressive models, or do not directly optimize the likelihood of the data. To our knowledge, our work is the first to propose multi-frame video prediction with normalizing flows, which allows for direct optimization of the data likelihood, and produces high-quality stochastic predictions. We describe an approach for modeling the latent space dynamics, and demonstrate that flow-based generative models offer a viable and competitive approach to generative modeling of video.

Answer: We demonstrate that flow-based generative models offer a viable and competitive approach to generative modeling of video.


Question: We present an efficient convolution kernel for Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) on unstructured grids using parameterized differential operators while focusing on spherical signals such as panorama images or planetary signals. 
 To this end, we replace conventional convolution kernels with linear combinations of differential operators that are weighted by learnable parameters. Differential operators can be efficiently estimated on unstructured grids using one-ring neighbors, and learnable parameters can be optimized through standard back-propagation. As a result, we obtain extremely efficient neural networks that match or outperform state-of-the-art network architectures in terms of performance but with a significantly lower number of network parameters. We evaluate our algorithm in an extensive series of experiments on a variety of computer vision and climate science tasks, including shape classification, climate pattern segmentation, and omnidirectional image semantic segmentation. Overall, we present (1) a novel CNN approach on unstructured grids using parameterized differential operators for spherical signals, and (2) we show that our unique kernel parameterization allows our model to achieve the same or higher accuracy with significantly fewer network parameters.

Answer:
We present a new CNN kernel for unstructured grids for spherical signals, and show significant accuracy and parameter efficiency gain on tasks such as 3D classfication and omnidirectional image segmentation.
