MVP: Multivariate polynomials for conditional generation
Conditional Generative Adversarial Nets (cGANs) have been widely adopted for image generation. cGANs take i) a noise vector and ii) a conditional variable as input. The conditional variable can be discrete (e.g., a class label) or continuous (e.g., an input image) resulting into class-conditional (image) generation and image-to-image translation models, respectively. However, depending on whether the conditional variable is discrete or continuous, various cGANs employ substantially different deep architectures and loss functions for their training. In this paper, we propose a novel framework, called MVP, for conditional data generation. MVP resorts to multivariate polynomials of higher-order and treats in a unified way both discrete and continuous conditional variables. MVP is highly expressive, capturing higher-order auto- and cross-correlations of input variables (noise vector and conditional variable). Tailored sharing schemes are designed between the polynomial’s parameter tensors, which result in simple recursive formulas. MVP can synthesize realistic images in both class-conditional and image-to-image translation tasks even in the absence of activation functions between the layers.

DC Decomposition of Nonconvex Polynomials with Algebraic Techniques
We consider the problem of decomposing a multivariate polynomial as the difference of two convex polynomials. We introduce algebraic techniques which reduce this task to linear, second order cone, and semidefinite progra…

Recently, the conditional SAGE certificate has been proposed as a sufficient condition for signomial positivity over a convex set. In this article, we show that the conditional SAGE certificate is $\textit{complete}$. Th…
A computational transition for detecting multivariate shuffled linear regression by low-degree polynomials
In this paper, we study the problem of multivariate shuffled linear regression, where the correspondence between predictors and responses in a linear model is obfuscated by a latent permutation. Specifically, we investig…
