**PolarNet** is an improved grid representation for online, single-scan LiDAR point clouds. Instead of using common spherical or bird's-eye-view projection, the polar bird's-eye-view representation balances the points across grid cells in a polar coordinate system, indirectly aligning a segmentation network's attention with the long-tailed distribution of the points along the radial axis.

**SRGAN** is a generative adversarial network for single image super-resolution. It uses a perceptual loss function which consists of an adversarial loss and a content loss. The adversarial loss pushes the solution to the natural image manifold using a discriminator network that is trained to differentiate between the super-resolved images and original photo-realistic images. In addition, the authors use a content loss motivated by perceptual similarity instead of similarity in pixel space. The actual networks - depicted in the Figure to the right - consist mainly of residual blocks for feature extraction.

Formally we write the perceptual loss function as a weighted sum of a ([VGG](https://paperswithcode.com/method/vgg)) content loss $l^{SR}\_{X}$ and an adversarial loss component $l^{SR}\_{Gen}$:

$$ l^{SR} = l^{SR}\_{X} + 10^{-3}l^{SR}\_{Gen} $$

PolarNet: An Improved Grid Representation for Online LiDAR Point Clouds Semantic Segmentation

A large amount of information is stored in data tables. Users can search for data tables using a keyword-based query. A table is composed primarily of data values that are organized in rows and columns providing implicit structural information. A table is usually accompanied by secondary information such as the caption, page title, etc., that form the textual information. Understanding the connection between the textual and structural information is an important yet neglected aspect in table retrieval as previous methods treat each source of information independently. In addition, users can search for data tables that are similar to an existing table, and this setting can be seen as a content-based table retrieval. In this paper, we propose StruBERT, a structure-aware BERT model that fuses the textual and structural information of a data table to produce context-aware representations for both textual and tabular content of a data table. StruBERT features are integrated in a new end-to-end neural ranking model to solve three table-related downstream tasks: keyword- and content-based table retrieval, and table similarity. We evaluate our approach using three datasets, and we demonstrate substantial improvements in terms of retrieval and classification metrics over state-of-the-art methods.
