• Abstract: Noise injection has been proved to be one of the key technique advances in generating high-fidelity images. Despite its successful usage in GANs, the mechanism of its validity is still unclear. In this paper, we propose a geometric framework to theoretically analyze the role of noise injection in GANs. Based on Riemannian geometry, we successfully model the noise injection framework as fuzzy equivalence on the geodesic normal coordinates. Guided by our theories, we find that the existing method is incomplete and a new strategy for noise injection is devised. Experiments on image generation and GAN inversion demonstrate the superiority of our method.

  Existing source imaging algorithms utilize the Gaussian assumption for the observation noise to build the likelihood function for Bayesian inference. The electromagnetic measurements of brain activity are usually affected by miscellaneous artifacts, leading to a potentially non-Gaussian distribution for the observation noise. We propose a new likelihood model which is robust with respect to non-Gaussian noises.

• Causal Discovery with Score Matching on Additive Models with Arbitrary Noise [37.13308785728276]
  Causal discovery methods are intrinsically constrained by the set of assumptions needed to ensure structure identifiability. In this paper we show the shortcomings of inference under this hypothesis, analyzing the risk of edge inversion under violation of Gaussianity of the noise terms. We propose a novel method for inferring the topological ordering of the variables in the causal graph, from data generated according to an additive non-linear model with a generic noise distribution. This leads to NoGAM, a causal discovery algorithm with a minimal set of assumptions and state of the art performance, experimentally benchmarked on synthetic data.

  We introduce score-based generative models (SGMs) demonstrating remarkable empirical performance. Current SGMs make the underlying assumption that the data is supported on a Euclidean manifold with flat geometry. This prevents the use of these models for applications in robotics, geoscience or protein modeling.

  Integrated Gradients (IG) is a commonly used feature attribution method for deep neural networks. We show that one of the causes of the problem is the accumulation of noise along the IG path. We propose adapting the attribution path itself -- conditioning the path not just on the image but also on the model being explained.

  We focus on the so-called implicit effect' of GNIs, which is the effect of the injected noise on the dynamics of gradient descent (SGD) We show that this effect induces an asymmetric heavy-tailed noise on gradient updates. We then formally prove that GNIs induce an implicit bias', which varies depending on the heaviness of the tails and the level of asymmetry.

  In this work, we apply signal-dependent noise (SDN) to splicing localization tasks. By building a maximum a posterior Markov random field (MAP-MRF) framework, we exploit the likelihood of noise to reveal the alien region of spliced objects. Experimental results demonstrate that our method is effective and provides a comparative localization performance.

The proposed method is superior to other current state-of-the-art denoising methods in both subjective and objective criterion.

  Noise in gradient descent provides a crucial implicit regularization effect for training over parameterized models. We show that parameter-dependent noise -- induced by mini-batches or label perturbation -- is far more effective than Gaussian noise. Our analysis reveals that parameter-dependent noise introduces a bias towards local minima with smaller noise variance, whereas spherical Gaussian noise does not.
