Joint Mapping and Calibration via Differentiable Sensor Fusion

J. Chen, F. Obermeyer, V. Lyapunov, L. Gueguen, N. Goodman
We leverage automatic differentiation (AD) and probabilistic programming to develop an end-to-end optimization algorithm for batch triangulation of a large number of unknown objects. Given noisy detections extracted from noisily geo-located street level imagery without depth information, we jointly estimate the number and location of objects of different types, together with parameters for sensor noise characteristics and prior distribution of objects conditioned on side information.

Characterizing how Visual Question Answering models scale with the world

E. Bingham, P. Molino, P. Szerlip, F. Obermeyer, N. Goodman
Detecting differences in generalization ability between models for visual question answering tasks has proven to be surprisingly difficult. We propose a new statistic, asymptotic sample complexity, for model comparison, and construct a synthetic data distribution to compare a strong baseline CNN-LSTM model to a structured neural network with powerful inductive biases.
