Semantic graph attention networks and tensor decompositions for computer vision and computer graphics

Abstract

This thesis proposes new architectures for deep neural networks with attention enhancement and multilinear algebra methods to increase their performance. We also explore graph convolutions and their particularities. We focus here on the problems related to real-time human pose estimation. We explore different architectures to reduce computational complexity, and, as a result, we propose two novel neural network models for 2D and 3D pose estimation. We also introduce a new architecture for Graph attention networks called Semantic Graph Attention.
