The Deleuzian Representation Hypothesis

Clément Cornet, Romaric Besançon, Hervé Le Borgne

We propose an alternative to sparse autoencoders (SAEs) as a simple and effective unsupervised method for extracting interpretable concepts from neural networks. The core idea is t…

Reliable and Reproducible Demographic Inference for Fairness in Face Analysis

Alexandre Fournier-Montgieux, Hervé Le Borgne, Adrian Popescu +1

Fairness evaluation in face analysis systems (FAS) typically depends on automatic demographic attribute inference (DAI), which itself relies on predefined demographic segmentation.…

CaMiT: A Time-Aware Car Model Dataset for Classification and Generation

Frédéric LIN, Biruk Abere Ambaw, Adrian Popescu +3

AI systems must adapt to evolving visual environments, especially in domains where object appearances change over time. We introduce Car Models in Time (CaMiT), a fine-grained data…

MVAT: Multi-View Aware Teacher for Weakly Supervised 3D Object Detection

Saad Lahlali, Alexandre Fournier Montgieux, Nicolas Granger +2

Annotating 3D data remains a costly bottleneck for 3D object detection, motivating the development of weakly supervised annotation methods that rely on more accessible 2D box annot…

Wasserstein Loss for Semantic Editing in the Latent Space of GANs

Perla Doubinsky, Nicolas Audebert, Michel Crucianu +1

The latent space of GANs contains rich semantics reflecting the training data. Different methods propose to learn edits in latent space corresponding to semantic attributes, thus a…

Self-Improving SLAM in Dynamic Environments: Learning When to Mask

Adrian Bojko, Romain Dupont, Mohamed Tamaazousti +1

Visual SLAM - Simultaneous Localization and Mapping - in dynamic environments typically relies on identifying and masking image features on moving objects to prevent them from nega…

Multi-Attribute Balanced Sampling for Disentangled GAN Controls

Perla Doubinsky, Nicolas Audebert, Michel Crucianu +1

Various controls over the generated data can be extracted from the latent space of a pre-trained GAN, as it implicitly encodes the semantics of the training data. The discovered co…

AVAE: Adversarial Variational Auto Encoder

Antoine Plumerault, Hervé Le Borgne, Céline Hudelot

Among the wide variety of image generative models, two models stand out: Variational Auto Encoders (VAE) and Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN). GANs can produce realistic image…

Webly Supervised Semantic Embeddings for Large Scale Zero-Shot Learning

Yannick Le Cacheux, Adrian Popescu, Hervé Le Borgne

Zero-shot learning (ZSL) makes object recognition in images possible in absence of visual training data for a part of the classes from a dataset. When the number of classes is larg…
