Tests for Many Treatment Effects in Regression Discontinuity Panel Data Models

no code implementations2 Dec 2023 Likai Chen, Georg Keilbar, Liangjun Su, Weining Wang

We find that in the Gaussian approximations to the test statistics, the dependence structures in the data can be safely ignored due to the localized nature of the statistics.

GLOBER: Coherent Non-autoregressive Video Generation via GLOBal Guided Video DecodER

1 code implementation NeurIPS 2023 Mingzhen Sun, Weining Wang, Zihan Qin, Jiahui Sun, Sihan Chen, Jing Liu

Specifically, we propose a video auto-encoder, where a video encoder encodes videos into global features, and a video decoder, built on a diffusion model, decodes the global features and synthesizes video frames in a non-autoregressive manner.

A semiparametric approach for interactive fixed effects panel data models

no code implementations27 Jan 2022 Georg Keilbar, Juan M. Rodriguez-Poo, Alexandra Soberon, Weining Wang

We derive its asymptotic properties by finding out that the limiting distribution has a discontinuity, depending on the explanatory power of our basis functions which is expressed by the variance of the error of the factor loadings.

HAIR: Hierarchical Visual-Semantic Relational Reasoning for Video Question Answering

no code implementations ICCV 2021 Fei Liu, Jing Liu, Weining Wang, Hanqing Lu

Specifically, we present a novel graph memory mechanism to perform relational reasoning, and further develop two types of graph memory: a) visual graph memory that leverages visual information of video for relational reasoning; b) semantic graph memory that is specifically designed to explicitly leverage semantic knowledge contained in the classes and attributes of video objects, and perform relational reasoning in the semantic space.
