• Abstract: CSG trees are an intuitive, yet powerful technique for the representation of geometry using a combination of Boolean set-operations and geometric primitives. In general, there exists an infinite number of trees all describing the same 3D solid. However, some trees are optimal regarding the number of used operations, their shape or other attributes, like their suitability for intuitive, human-controlled editing. In this paper, we present a systematic comparison of newly developed and existing tree optimization methods and propose a flexible processing pipeline with a focus on tree editability. The pipeline uses a redundancy removal and decomposition stage for complexity reduction and different (meta-)heuristics for remaining tree optimization. We also introduce a new quantitative measure for CSG tree editability and show how it can be used as a constraint in the optimization process.

  We propose a neuro-symbolic Differentiable Tree Machine that learns tree operations using a combination of transformers and Representation Products. We first remove a series of different transformer layers that are used in every step by introducing a mixture of experts. We additionally propose a new termination algorithm to provide the model the power to choose how many steps to make automatically.

  This paper further extends the deep forest idea in several important aspects. We employ a probabilistic tree whose nodes make probabilistic routing decisions, a.k.a., soft routing, rather than hard binary decisions. Experiments on the MNIST dataset demonstrate that our empowered deep forests can achieve better or comparable performance than [1],[3].

  Learnable Tree Filter presents a remarkable approach to model structure-preserving relations for semantic segmentation. To relax the geometric constraint, we give the analysis by reformulating it as a Markov Random Field and introduce a learnable unary term. For semantic segmentation, we achieve leading performance (82.1% mIoU) on the Cityscapes benchmark without bells-and-whistles.
