• Abstract summary: Cycle-consistent training is widely used for learning a forward and inverse mapping between two domains of interest. We develop a conditional variational autoencoder (CVAE) approach that can be viewed as converting surjective mappings to implicit bijections. Our pipeline can capture such many-to-one mappings during cycle training while promoting graph-to-text diversity.

• Abstract: Cycle-consistent training is widely used for jointly learning a forward and inverse mapping between two domains of interest without the cumbersome requirement of collecting matched pairs within each domain. In this regard, the implicit assumption is that there exists (at least approximately) a ground-truth bijection such that a given input from either domain can be accurately reconstructed from successive application of the respective mappings. But in many applications no such bijection can be expected to exist and large reconstruction errors can compromise the success of cycle-consistent training. As one important instance of this limitation, we consider practically-relevant situations where there exists a many-to-one or surjective mapping between domains. To address this regime, we develop a conditional variational autoencoder (CVAE) approach that can be viewed as converting surjective mappings to implicit bijections whereby reconstruction errors in both directions can be minimized, and as a natural byproduct, realistic output diversity can be obtained in the one-to-many direction. As theoretical motivation, we analyze a simplified scenario whereby minima of the proposed CVAE-based energy function align with the recovery of ground-truth surjective mappings. On the empirical side, we consider a synthetic image dataset with known ground-truth, as well as a real-world application involving natural language generation from knowledge graphs and vice versa, a prototypical surjective case. For the latter, our CVAE pipeline can capture such many-to-one mappings during cycle training while promoting textural diversity for graph-to-text tasks.

  Subsurface imaging involves solving full waveform inversion (FWI) to predict geophysical properties from measurements. The usual approach is to train an encoder-decoder network using paired data from two domains: geophysical property and measurement. This paper extends this direction by demonstrating that only linear mapping necessitates paired data, while both the encoder and decoder can be learned from their respective domains through self-supervised learning.

  Unsupervised image-to-image translation consists of learning a pair of mappings between two domains without known pairwise correspondences between points. Current convention is to approach this task with cycle-consistent GANs. We propose an alternate approach that directly restricts the generator to performing a simple sparse transformation in a latent layer.

  We focus on the task of semantic segmentation, where annotated synthetic data are aplenty, but annotating real data is laborious. The first criterion, inspired by visual psychophysics, is that the map between the two image domains be phase-preserving. The second criterion aims to leverage ecological statistics, or regularities in the scene which are manifest in any image of it, regardless of the characteristics of the illuminant or the imaging sensor.
