Correlated discrete data generation using adversarial training

Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) have shown great promise in tasks like synthetic image generation, image inpainting, style transfer, and anomaly detection. However, generating discrete data is a challenge. This work presents an adversarial training based correlated discrete data (CDD) generation model. It also details an approach for conditional CDD generation. The results of our approach are presented over two datasets; job-seeking candidates skill set (private dataset) and MNIST (public dataset). From quantitative and qualitative analysis of these results, we show that our model performs better as it leverages inherent correlation in the data, than an existing model that overlooks correlation.

Updating Singular Value Decomposition for Rank One Matrix Perturbation

An efficient Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) algorithm is an important tool for distributed and streaming computation in big data problems. It is observed that update of singular vectors of a rank-1 perturbed matrix is similar to a Cauchy matrix-vector product. With this observation, in this paper, we present an efficient method for updating Singular Value Decomposition of rank-1 perturbed matrix in $O(n^2 \ \text{log}(\frac{1}{\epsilon}))$ time. The method uses Fast Multipole Method (FMM) for updating singular vectors in $O(n \ \text{log} (\frac{1}{\epsilon}))$ time, where $\epsilon$ is the precision of computation.
