Evaluating Design Video Generation: Metrics for Compositional Fidelity

Generative video models are increasingly used in design animation tasks, yet no standardized evaluation framework exists for this domain. Unlike natural video generation, design animation imposes structured constraints: specific components shall animate with prescribed motion types, directions, speed and timing, while non-animated regions must remain stable and layout structure must be preserved. This paper provides a fully automated evaluation framework organized across four dimensions: layout fidelity, motion correctness, temporal quality, and content fidelity. This eliminates the reliance on subjective human evaluation and establishes a common basis for benchmarking progress in the field.

EvoKG: Jointly Modeling Event Time and Network Structure for Reasoning over Temporal Knowledge Graphs

How can we perform knowledge reasoning over temporal knowledge graphs (TKGs)? TKGs represent facts about entities and their relations, where each fact is associated with a timestamp. Reasoning over TKGs, i.e., inferring new facts from time-evolving KGs, is crucial for many applications to provide intelligent services. However, despite the prevalence of real-world data that can be represented as TKGs, most methods focus on reasoning over static knowledge graphs, or cannot predict future events. In this paper, we present a problem formulation that unifies the two major problems that need to be addressed for an effective reasoning over TKGs, namely, modeling the event time and the evolving network structure. Our proposed method EvoKG jointly models both tasks in an effective framework, which captures the ever-changing structural and temporal dynamics in TKGs via recurrent event modeling, and models the interactions between entities based on the temporal neighborhood aggregation framework. Further, EvoKG achieves an accurate modeling of event time, using flexible and efficient mechanisms based on neural density estimation. Experiments show that EvoKG outperforms existing methods in terms of effectiveness (up to 77% and 116% more accurate time and link prediction) and efficiency.

ProbAct: A Probabilistic Activation Function for Deep Neural Networks

Activation functions play an important role in training artificial neural networks. The majority of currently used activation functions are deterministic in nature, with their fixed input-output relationship. In this work, we propose a novel probabilistic activation function, called ProbAct. ProbAct is decomposed into a mean and variance and the output value is sampled from the formed distribution, making ProbAct a stochastic activation function. The values of mean and variances can be fixed using known functions or trained for each element. In the trainable ProbAct, the mean and the variance of the activation distribution is trained within the back-propagation framework alongside other parameters. We show that the stochastic perturbation induced through ProbAct acts as a viable generalization technique for feature augmentation. In our experiments, we compare ProbAct with well-known activation functions on classification tasks on different modalities: Images(CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, and STL-10) and Text (Large Movie Review). We show that ProbAct increases the classification accuracy by +2-3% compared to ReLU or other conventional activation functions on both original datasets and when datasets are reduced to 50% and 25% of the original size. Finally, we show that ProbAct learns an ensemble of models by itself that can be used to estimate the uncertainties associated with the prediction and provides robustness to noisy inputs.
