**CTAB-GAN** is a model for conditional tabular data generation. The generator and discriminator utilize the [DCGAN](https://paperswithcode.com/method/dcgan) architecture. An [auxiliary classifier](https://paperswithcode.com/method/auxiliary-classifier) is also used with an MLP architecture.

**SimCSE** is a contrastive learning framework for generating sentence embeddings. It utilizes an unsupervised approach, which takes an input sentence and predicts itself in contrastive objective, with only standard [dropout](https://paperswithcode.com/method/dropout) used as noise. The authors find that dropout acts as minimal “data augmentation” of hidden representations, while removing it leads to a representation collapse. Afterwards a supervised approach is used, which incorporates annotated pairs from natural language inference datasets into the contrastive framework, by using “entailment” pairs as positives and “contradiction

Effective and Privacy preserving Tabular Data Synthesizing

A **Selective Kernel** unit is a bottleneck block consisting of a sequence of 1×1 [convolution](https://paperswithcode.com/method/convolution), SK convolution and 1×1 convolution. It was proposed as part of the [SKNet](https://paperswithcode.com/method/sknet) CNN architecture. In general, all the large kernel convolutions in the original bottleneck blocks in [ResNeXt](https://paperswithcode.com/method/resnext) are replaced by the proposed SK convolutions, enabling the network to choose appropriate receptive field sizes in an adaptive manner. 

In SK units, there are three important hyper-parameters which determine the final settings of SK convolutions: the number of paths $M$ that determines the number of choices of different kernels to be aggregated, the group number $G$ that controls the cardinality of each path, and the reduction ratio $r$ that controls the number of parameters in the fuse operator. One typical setting of SK convolutions is $\text{SK}\left[M, G, r\right]$ to be $\text{SK}\left[2, 32, 16\right]$.
