It's like mask rcnn but for salient instances.
code will be available at https://github.com/RuochenFan/S4Net.

They invented a layer "mask pooling" that they claim is better than ROI pooling and ROI align.

binary RoIMasking and ternary RoIMasking both outperform

wonderful work!

I think the supplemental material is the appendices at the back of the paper. Those seem to contain everything the authors refer to.

Ben Criger Sep 10 2018 11:30 UTC

Reference 22 says there's some supplemental material, is this material on the arXiv, or is it just the supplemental material in the back of the paper?

Māris Ozols Aug 30 2018 09:18 UTC

My overall impression about this survey is that its author has learned the material very recently and written this survey to summarize what he has learned. This is not an issue by itself, however it comes with several significant shortcomings.

First, the author is not familiar with (or for some r

Were the Lord to be *boshaft* (in spite of all these evidences), He would need to hide his contrivances really deep in the past - so it seems.

Sai Aug 07 2018 15:56 UTC

I also wanted to add one more comment about how our speedup can be implemented just using few-body interactions. It is possible to take time-dependant Hamiltonians with few-body interactions (and say, strong coupling) and construct a time-ordered unitary operator that implements the construction sug

Carlos A. Perez-Delgado Aug 07 2018 13:23 UTC

Thank you for your interest in our paper. That is a really good question. Let me start by acknowledging that constructing higher-order Hamiltonians is currently hard in practice. Our result also applies when one restricts oneself to k-local Hamiltonians, in which case one obtains a speed increase th

@Carlos Perez-Delgado, thanks for answering questions here!
I am also confused when it comes to `trading locality' as Stuart suggests. Perhaps the right question to ask is:

Carlos A. Perez-Delgado Aug 04 2018 13:20 UTC

This is a good question and it is worth clearing this up.

This part is essentially true. We are using non-locality as you call it (you can also say quantum correlat

Stuart Hadfield Aug 03 2018 23:29 UTC

Isn't this paper just proposing to trade circuit size for locality, e.g. replace k-many 1-local gates with a single k-local gate? Then changing the computational model to not count the cost of implementing the required k-local gates (which typically is ~k) to claim a 1/k speedup ?

Your SciNet for the current Solar System problem settles nicely in the mode of operation that is equivalent to the ,,stadard'' Heliocentric model wih positions encoded by Sun-angles relative to the fixed-stars background.

It would be very interesting to see what your SciNet would do when:

The browser cache strikes again! :-)

Tom Wong Jul 20 2018 17:48 UTC

Oops, I had to Shift+F5 https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.05877 in order to force my browser to ignore the cache. I also see underscores on both pages now.

Blake Stacey Jul 20 2018 17:43 UTC

When I go to https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.05877, I see an "ancillary files" list on the sidebar, in which the files are listed with underscores. Clicking them opens text files with some lovely parabolas of plus and minus signs. Going to https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.05877v1, I get exactly the same thing.

Tom Wong Jul 20 2018 17:29 UTC

The files still contain equal signs at https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.05877, and so they fail to open. But the files contain underscores instead at https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.05877v1, so they do open. Note v1 is the only version of the paper. Definitely an arXiv bug.

Wojciech Kryszak Jul 20 2018 08:43 UTC

Your ,,comment'' is for me the most lucid explanation of the widely known (but - it seems - not seriously taken) fact that we can save locality at the cost of einsteinian (subject independent) reality.

The way it can work is immediately aprehensible once one relizes that Alice can get to know abo

Blake Stacey Jul 19 2018 23:19 UTC

It looks like the ancillary files have been renamed; they're accessible now.

Māris Ozols Jul 18 2018 17:01 UTC

Thanks, I will e-mail them. I posted this just to let people know that you can still access the files by other means. (The author could also solve the problem by just renaming them.)

Tom Wong Jul 18 2018 15:06 UTC

Thanks for pointing this out! Did you let the arXiv maintainers (help@arxiv.org) know about this bug? If not, I can email them and credit you.

Māris Ozols Jul 17 2018 17:18 UTC

Seems like arXiv doesn't like ancillary files whose filename contains "=" (only the last link on [this page][1] works). But you can always download the [entire source package][2] in a single file.

Thanks for reading the paper! I might have been able to include a couple extra steps in the derivation, but I didn't want this equation to take up too much space.

The basic idea is to expand the permutation operator $W_{1,2,3}$ as in equation (9), and then use the cyclic property of the trace op

Hi, thank you for the nice paper! Could you clarify the second and third equalities in eqn. (11)? Particularly, I am not sure how the tensor products vanished and also why the new subscripts are in the order 1,3,2 rather than a cyclic shift of 1,2,3 as suggested by the notation (123).

The group that we call "R(2)" in the paper, the "Realizable Group" is indeed generated by the physical unitaries in the left side of the table on page 2. This group, as a unitary matrix group, has 4,608 elements. However, the action on just the logical space is smaller, and there is a 4-to-1 homomor

That's correct. Thanks for spotting it ! The correct relation should be (1/|sigma_q|)sum_sigma = (1/(d-1))(dF-1). Another typo shows up in eq 41 which has essentially the same resolution. We'll correct this on the next update.

This is really a great work.. should be implemented with all the required resources.
