The technology for Visual Odometry (VO) that estimates the position and orientation of moving object through analyzing image sequences captured by on-board cameras, has been well investigated with rising interest in autonomous driving. This paper studies monocular VO from perspective Deep Learning (DL). Unlike most current learning-based methods, our approach, called DeepAVO, is established on ...

Online knowledge repositories typically rely on their users or dedicated editors to evaluate the reliability of their content. These evaluations can be viewed as noisy measurements of both information reliability and information source trustworthiness. Can we leverage these noisy evaluations, often biased, to distill a robust, unbiased and interpretable measure of both notions? In this paper, w...

We study cascades with partial which path ambiguity where entan-glement is distilled by spectral filtering. We develop a framework to calculate the amplitudes and phases of the density matrix. The results can be summarized in a two dimensional " phase diagram ". The theory is applied to the quantum tomography of the decay cascade of a biex-citon in a semiconductor quantum dot. The effect of inh...

Our patients don’t expect miracles, but they do expect support, real support. Rightly, they expect a clinician who is prepared to ask them how they are functioning on a day-to-day basis, what it is like to be this breathless and what would most make a difference. Most importantly, most of our patients are already too wise to expect that we can actually fix the breathlessness of advanced chronic...

A concern has been expressed that “the Jaynes principle can produce fake entanglement” [R. Horodecki et al., Phys. Rev. A 59, 1799 (1999)]. In this paper we discuss the general problem of distilling maximally entangled states from N copies of a bipartite quantum system about which only partial information is known, for instance in the form of a given expectation value. We point out that there i...

The relative volatilities of a variety of common ionic liquids have been determined for the first time. Equimolar mixtures of ionic liquids were vacuum-distilled in a glass sublimation apparatus at approximately 473 K. The composition of the initial distillate, determined by NMR spectroscopy, was used to establish the relative volatility of each ionic liquid in the mixture. The effect of alkyl ...

Distilled dialogues, i.e. re-written natural dialogues, are a useful complement to dialogues collected in Wizard of Oz-experiments or in natural settings for development of dialogue systems. However, the distillation process itself also provides insights on human-computer interaction and on properties of dialogue systems. In this paper we present the distillation process, including how the guid...

The recent advanced face recognition systems were built on large Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) or their ensembles, which have millions of parameters. However, the expensive computation of DNNs make their deployment difficult on mobile and embedded devices. This work addresses model compression for face recognition, where the learned knowledge of a large teacher network or its ensemble is utilized...
