The paper introduces Duet, a hybrid neural relation understanding method for cardinality estimation. Duet addresses limitations of existing learned methods, such as high costs and scalability issues, by incorporating predicate information into an autoregressive model. Experiments demonstrate Duet's efficiency, accuracy, and scalability, even outperforming GPU-based methods on CPU.
This paper introduces a unified deep autoregressive model (UAE) for cardinality estimation that learns joint data distributions from both data and query workloads. It uses differentiable progressive sampling with the Gumbel-Softmax trick to incorporate supervised query information into the deep autoregressive model. Experiments show UAE achieves better accuracy and efficiency compared to state-of-the-art methods.
The paper introduces the Prism Hypothesis, which posits a correspondence between an encoder's feature spectrum and its functional role, with semantic encoders capturing low-frequency components and pixel encoders retaining high-frequency information. Based on this, the authors propose Unified Autoencoding (UAE), a model that harmonizes semantic structure and pixel details using a frequency-band modulator. Experiments on ImageNet and MS-COCO demonstrate that UAE effectively unifies semantic abstraction and pixel-level fidelity, achieving state-of-the-art performance.
The paper introduces TimeHUT, a new method for learning time-series representations using hierarchical uniformity-tolerance balancing of contrastive representations. TimeHUT employs a hierarchical setup to learn both instance-wise and temporal information, along with a temperature scheduler to balance uniformity and tolerance. The method was evaluated on UCR, UAE, Yahoo, and KPI datasets, demonstrating superior performance in classification tasks and competitive results in anomaly detection.
A new approach to composed video retrieval (CoVR) is presented, which leverages large multimodal models to infer causal and temporal consequences implied by an edit. The method aligns reasoned queries to candidate videos without task-specific finetuning. A new benchmark, CoVR-Reason, is introduced to evaluate reasoning in CoVR.
