arXiv:2407.21121v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This work investigates the structure and representation capacity of $sinusoidal$ MLPs, which have recently shown promising results in encoding low-dimensional signals. This success can be attributed to its smoothness and high representation capacity. The first allows the use of the network's derivatives during training, enabling regularization. However, defining the architecture and initializing its parameters to achieve a desired capacity remains an empirical task. This work provides theoretical and experimental results justifying the capacity property of sinusoidal MLPs and offers control mechanisms for their initialization and training. We approach this from a Fourier series perspective and…

arXiv:2407.21047v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose PAV, Personalized Head Avatar for the synthesis of human faces under arbitrary viewpoints and facial expressions. PAV introduces a method that learns a dynamic deformable neural radiance field (NeRF), in particular from a collection of monocular talking face videos of the same character under various appearance and shape changes. Unlike existing head NeRF methods that are limited to modeling such input videos on a per-appearance basis, our method allows for learning multi-appearance NeRFs, introducing appearance embedding for each input video via learnable latent neural features attached to the underlying geometry. Furthermore, the proposed…

[Submitted on 21 Jul 2024] View a PDF of the paper titled They Look Like Each Other: Case-based Reasoning for Explainable Depression Detection on Twitter using Large Language Models, by Mohammad Saeid Mahdavinejad and 3 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:Depression is a common mental health issue that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. Despite the promise of social media data for depression detection, the opacity of employed deep learning models hinders interpretability and raises bias concerns. We address this challenge by introducing ProtoDep, a novel, explainable framework for Twitter-based depression detection. ProtoDep leverages prototype learning and the generative power…
